Nyora Raceway is set to entertain once again this Saturday night with sports sedans featuring, with a $2000 carrot being dangled to attract the best competitors to the little bullring.
Outlaw karts, Speedway Sedans Victoria juniors, open standard saloons, grand prix midgets for a series round and Victorian mini and lightning sprints for a season aggregate points event of their own are all scheduled.
Amongst the nominations for the sports sedans are last start sports sedan winner at Nyora, Cameron Dike.
He will have competition from three-time state champion Damien Miller, Braiden Webster, Allan Sell - stepping in sports sedan class this season - and Bernie Franklin amongst others.
The action should be furious at the front with Dike keen to back up his previous victory three weeks ago.
Grand prix midgets compete with mostly motorbike chain driven engines these days with Yamaha and Suzuki the engine of choice.
Chris Fowler, the current series points leader and winner of the last two finals for the category, heads the field as the top nomination for this Saturday night.
Peter Robotham, Paul Perry, Travis Florrimell and Terry Brown are just some of the competitors to keep an eye on when these little rockets hit the track.
Victorian mini and lightning sprints, which resemble a miniature sprintcar, are also racing.
Ally Moore leads the entrants based on form this season, however, competition from Jason Lynn, Maureen Sell, Jason Alie, Liz Peach and visiting New South Welshman Aaron Bell will see Moore with some work to do to claim the win.
Junior sedans this week will be in the form of the Speedway Sedans Victoria aligned drivers.
Brad Marshall and Dayne Murdoch have shown the strongest competition this season so far amongst the nominations, whilst Blake Beach has been a winner at Alexandra in December.
Luke Morrison from Officer, Tristan Jarred who lives in the middle of Nyora, Holly Hutchinson and Maddy Beach are all in the line-up keen to earn themselves a trophy.
Open standard saloons have been added to the program with Kacey Ingram, a winner at Nyora's last race meeting, the lead nomination.
Harry and Owen Cecil are also in the field to keep Kacey under pressure.
