PROTON SERIES SUPER SEDANS TO CLIMB MOTHAR MOUNTAIN

SSA Media Release

This Saturday night the 'Ian Boettcher Proton' Queensland Super Sedan Series is off to Gympie's 'Mothar Mountain' Speedway for round 15 of this season's series championship with the current top five drivers all nominated to compete and with the points a little closer after series points leader Darren Kane failed to finish last weekend’s final at Brisbane there is a little more on the line with drivers needing to finish to bank all important points.

Darren Kane, Craig Torr, Steve Jordan, Steve Pearce and Jason Campbell the current top five will not have things their way completely thought with Colin Hockley, Gympie’s Mark Pagel, Des Korn and Matt Williams amongst drivers entered that will give them the hurry up.

The unique speedway is always a place for thrills and spills when the V8's come to town with the uphill, downhill layout and not to leave out the kink in the uphill straight sorting out the field with as the night rolls on.

Jordan who has finished on the podium in the last two race meetings and is current Australian champion is one of the drivers to watch this weekend. "Darren has been the man to beat all season in this deal, and he shot to the lead last week before his race ended with a crash. I don't see any reason to believe he won’t be the guy we all need to beat this weekend. We have been coming on stronger the last couple race meetings and we will just get there and give it what we've got and see if we can come home with a big win. We all love going to the 'Mount', the people are great, the atmosphere is electric and the racing is fun and unusual. Let's get into it!"

With support from Virtue Race Engines and Hotondo Homes Rockhampton as round sponsors and with action this weekend boosted by the 'Send With Us' development series fans will get to see with the top grade drivers on the same program.

The complete entry list is: Kane, Jordan, Campbell, Sean Black, Barry Craft, Williams, Gympie’s Tim O'Shea, Korn, Pagel, Pearce, Torr, Hockley in the Boettcher Proton Series and Peter Smith, Brendan Doyle, Michael Jenner, Kev Barkle, Barry Grundy, Russell Dobson, Grant Shaw, David Musch, John Tischler and Les Pascoe in the ‘Send With Us’ development series.

 Smith leads the development series over Grant Shaw by 15 points after 8 scheduled rounds in which only four got a race meeting completed due to rain so there is plenty interest yet in this series for drivers that are striving to get to the bigger stage. The extra incentive for the development guys is not only will they run their own feature on Saturday night, the top four will qualify to start at the back of the ‘Ian Boettcher Proton Series’ feature also.
