The opening round of the Parr Motorsports Wingless Sprints Southern Shootout Series looms as a South Australia v Victoria clash. Thirty drivers have nominated for the first round of the series at Borderline Speedway, Mount Gambier on Saturday night.

The nomination list is made up of 16 cars from Wingless Sprints Victoria and 14 cars from the home state Wingless Sprints South Australia and whilst the drivers will be competing individually to bag the big points for the series, there is sure to be State pride on the drivers’ minds.

Series organizers are extremely pleased with the list of nominations that includes the current National Wingless Sprints #1 and #2 plus last year’s Southern Shootout Series winner and runner-up.

Current Australian Wingless Sprints champion and South Australian Wingless Sprints champion Rory Button will be competing and will come up against current Australian Wingless Sprints #2 Brad Warren from Victoria. Button is well aware that Warren will be anxious to turn the tables from last season’s National title event.

Last year’s Southern Series Shootout Series winner, Todd Wigzell from South Australia, is out to defend his series title, whilst last year’s series runner up, South Australia’s Cory Hodgson will be aiming to climb to the top of the ladder in this year’s series.
Drivers are keen to start the seven round series off with a bang, knowing how important it is to start well in this format of competition. In-form drivers Adam Sealey and Darryl Bottams, both from South Australia, and Freddy Walsh, Phil Micaliff and Steve Trigg from Victoria are all expected to be in the mix.

With a big break before the second round of the series at Timmis Speedway, Mildura on 16 January, the racing for Saturday night’s opening round at Borderline Speedway, Mount Gambier is expected to be fast and furious.
