Preview: 5th Annual Speedway Celebration Day

press release

This Sunday (April 19th) at the Nepean Motorsport complex on Rickards Road Castlereagh the New South Wales Speedway Kart Club will be conducting the 5th annual Celebration Day.

A little over five years ago a couple of the committee of the NSWSKC had an idea of holding a race meeting that celebrated, us as a club and also thanked the people and characters that have shaped or continue to give so much our club over the 18 years it has been running .These people have all played a vital and important part in shaping this club into the family friendly club it is today.

In my five years as president the inception of this race meeting is one of my proudest achievements. I truly believe this meeting in its short 5 years has become, the titles aside, one of the speedway kart calendars races to win.

In the past we could not attract drivers to a race that didn’t have club championship points attached to it but steadily numbers have increased and last year we had over 70 drivers on hand indicating that the importance and prestige of this race is really being accepted by everyone.
 
This year our honor role is:
Midgets                 Life members    Jeff Burton
Rookies                 Life Members    Keryn Evans
Juniors                 Past Member     Gary Bourke
Clubman Light     Life Member       Rob Eyeington
Clubman Heavy   Life Member      Brian Briton 
KT Light               Life Member       Donna Eyeington
KT Heavy             Past Member       Ashley Smith
Formula 100         Past Member       Tony Johnson

Again this year we will be running The Team of the Year concept which was started last year. The idea is that a senior driver is paired with a junior competitor from either  Midgets, Rookies or Juniors and their collective points for the day will be added to find The Celebration Day Team of the Year.

It is hoped that during the day the senior driver will mentor and help by offering tips and support to the junior driver to help build some friendships within the club between a couple of families that may not normally spend time together .This worked very well last year and at feature race time we had a lot of senior drivers cheering on their team mate.

The winners will receive a set of tyres for both the senior and junior drivers donated by Sayre Racing and we would like to thank Jeremy and Stacey Sayre for their generous offer.

We will have to wait and see if reigning champions David Boyd and Daniel Sayre can defend their title.
 
This Sunday will also be our media day for the upcoming Australian Title and we welcome all those coming to showcase our sport for us.

So for $5 per adult entry why not come out on Sunday and enjoy some great speedway action and then stay back and help us celebrate our honorees as we thank them for the wonderful club we have today.
