by Dean Thompson
Nyora Raceway closed its season on Saturday with a terrific family night of fireworks, comedy and, of course, motorsport featuring local heroes and visitors.
Wins went to Victorian Women's Standard Saloon champion Ally Morrison from Pakenham in the women's class, Koo Wee Rup racer Rhys Lansdown in the Standard Saloon feature, and Wingless Sprint "King of Nyora" Travis Millar who yet again wins the venue's feature and continues to prove very difficult to beat.
In addition, wins went to Harry Cecil in the Junior Standard Saloons, Jayden Bryant and Cruz Farrell in Speedway Sedan Australia Juniors and another Koo Wee Rup-based racer Jayde Aarts in the Open Sedans.
Ally Morrison won every race in the Women's Standard Saloon "Skirts in the Dirt" feature that included three heat races before the final.
She was a class above all night and went on to defeat Warragul's Tracey Ingram who herself is an accomplished racer. In trying to chase the younger Morrison, Ingram has lifted the bar another notch.
Dette Miles finished in third in front of Caroline Allen and fifth was Catani's Maddison Miles.
Impressively in the Standard Saloon class, Rhys Lansdown started back in 13th in a borrowed race car after he suffered mechanical issues in qualifying. Lansdown set about passing the likes of Ash Dean, Kacey Ingram, Matt Leek, Chris Miles, Andrew Miles, Damon Ingram, and Brodie Ardley before finally passing Wayne Sheerman for the win in the closing stages of the final.
Lansdown won racing in a Cecil family car from Sheerman, Ardley, Leek, and Damon Ingram.
The visiting Wingless Sprints continued to put on terrific racing, with lead racer Travis Miller setting lap times in the very low 15-second bracket. Consistently quicker than anybody else, he was able to win the feature event ahead of Adin Robertson, Peter Logue, Scott Irons from Drouin, and Tyler O'Leary.
Sports Sedans and Division Two Hot Rods combined to race as Open Sedans. Jayde Aarts went on to win in front of father and son duo Jamie Thomsen and Ian Thomsen with Daniel Angus and Matt Shankland rounding out the top five.
In the Junior Standard Saloons, the current Victorian two Harry Cecil won the final state series round for the class. He was able to secure victory in front of his brother Owen Cecil and Nathan Miles, Chase Ingram, and Zac Barwise.
Top Star Junior Sedan racing Jayden Bryant took out the feature race win after dominating his heat races earlier in the night. Bryant defeated Linken Paterson, Jack Murphy from Canberra, River Paterson, and Nathan Miles from Catani.
In New Star Junior Sedan racing, Cruz Farrell of the Nyora club defeated his sister Matilda Farrell, Jasmine Bryant, Tyson Heaphy and Xander Baxter.
In addition to fireworks, comedy was provided on the night from "Captain Risky" and "Sheriff Jimmy Kane".
