The NSW Title format featured four rounds of 10 lap heat races before a 20 lap final and with the Nepean track in sensational condition both days produced some of the best speedway karting action seen this year.

Saturday morning was very cold but with the Nepean track bathed in brilliant sunshine everything looked great for a fantastic weekend of speedway karting action. The program was four rounds of 10 lap heats followed at 20 lap final race to determine the new 2008 NSW Title holders.

It was sensational Midgets 20 lap Final as both young Corey Foyle and Luke Sayer battled for the entire 20 laps. Corey who has been racing just over 12 months and has been a real standout this year picked up the Midget crown in what was one of the best races of the weekend. Third placed Kyle Angel was also impressive as was James Peters who took out a great win in the opening Midget heat.

Midget racer Kyle Angel’s older brother and one of the sons of the Title sponsors Brad and Michelle Angel Regan Angel scored a brilliant victory in the Rookies title shootout. Regan has been quick all day and held out a determined Nathan Camillari and a very impressive Nikki Britton to win the final. Other standouts on the day were Jake Baines and Sean Richards who looked strong earlier in the day.

The 2007 NSWSKC Club Champion Michael Jordan was entered in both the Junior Light and Heavy divisions and while sensational fast and competitive in both it was only the Heavy class that Michael took out the 2008 NSW crown. Michael was impressive in defeating an equally impressive Brad Giffen with one of the Britton family, Ashleigh Britton finishing with third - superb placing.

Bronson Butcher who had travelled all the way from Holbrook certainly showed that he meant business right from the opening heat in the Junior Light division. His machine was quick and after picking up a couple of heat victories he proved too quick effortlessly winning the final over Michael Jordan with Matthew Pescod home in third.

The only senior class racing on Saturday was the Formula 100 but David Hopping who had been the dominant racer earlier in the year continued his recent bad luck and engine problems saw him retiring early in the day. In the final the 2007 NSW Champ Jonathan Bright had to settle for second and follow Brent Coghlan home with a hard charging Nathan Bailey third. Sean Mayo suffering from a football injury was fast in his F100 debut but got caught up in a number of incidents while Wayne Baines having a guest drive in the Keats Racing machine also struck a few problems during the day. Jason Freer, Matt Goff and Donald Steven were all fast early but had to settle out of podium places in the final.

The weather on Sunday wasn’t as good as Saturday but the rain held off all day with light drizzle falling at presentation time. It was another busy day for a number of racers with Wayne Baines, Sean Mayo, Nathan Bailey (2 classes) and David Hopping (2 classes) returning after competing on Saturday. Fields like Saturday were big and with the Nepean track holding up well for both days.

Nathan Bailey was too quick and defeated 2007 NSW Champ David Hopping to claim the KT Modified Light title with Nathan Randell after a great battle with Alana Baines finished third. Alana was in third for most of the race but after holding Nathan Randell out for many laps, ran wide in turn 1 allowing Nathan to forge by with Alana finishing back in fourth.

It was a strong 20 kart field which had assembled for the Clubman Heavy division with 2007 Champion Wayne Baines looking to defend his crown picking up the first two heat races. Steven Mitchell demolished the stellar field in the final to claim his first title with Daniel Selmes second and Wayne Baines third. Standouts earlier in the day were Gary Slarke and Les Green as was Michael Lahiff and Cameron Coghlan but the day belonged to Steven Mitchell.

John Watton, who had moved into the speedway karts last year and with just a handful of meetings proved to be the guy to beat in the KT Heavy class. John was impressive in the heats picking up a victory but in the final his #2 machine was too quick beating home an impressive Jason Freer and Lean Coleman. Craig Banks was expected to be one of the guns but after impressive drives in the heats spun out and was a non finisher in the final.

David Hopping like Nathan Randell competed in three divisions on the weekend but it was the Clubman Light which saw him claiming a State crown. David was too strong winning the final over Jonathan Bright and Tim Loveday. Some of the standouts were Natalie Genner, Sean Mayo and Nathan Bailey in what was a hotly contested division with 25 entries saw the class split in two combining for the 20 lap final.

Presentations were held at the end of each day and with near record nominations, sensational track conditions and rain holding out all weekend the Angel’s Roofing Accessories NSW Speedway Kart Titles was certainly a success.
