The 2016/2017 Junior Speedway Racing Association (JSRA) season gets underway this weekend, with the Hydroblasting Kalgoorlie Round 1 of the JSRA Country Super Series to be held at Kalgoorlie International Speedway.
With a new committee and many fresh faces, preparations for the upcoming season have been in the works for the past couple of months and will all come to fruition this weekend in Kalgoorlie.
A stellar field of cars have nominated for this weekend’s opening round of the Country Super Series with a variety of JSRA members and local Kalgoorlie drivers set to race hard in order to take the top step of the podium for the first time of the season.
In the New Star division, Luke Malcolm will go into the round as the early favourite, while new members Jhy and Montana Pack will be up for the challenge against some quality opposition. Tilly Leonard and Lachlan Dellar will represent host club, Kalgoorlie and will be looking to take line honours in front of their home crowd.
Jake Avins, Jayke Malcolm, Blake Webb and Kalgoorlie locals Jacob Potts and Dylan Parkes will lead the charge in the field of Top Stars, with drivers coming from all over WA to take part in the first round of the 2016/2017 series. Bronty Fraser, Rahni Musarra, Blake Fletcher, Seth Hinsey and Tanika Webb have made the step up from New Stars last season and will be looking to gain some valuable experience against some of Australia’s best Junior Sedan drivers. Jackson Derrick, Isaac Arnold and Brooke Watson also return to the JSRA Country Super Series and will be on the pace when the green flag drops in Kalgoorlie.
The JSRA would like to thank Allen and Michelle Potts at Hydroblasting Kalgoorlie for their support of the opening round of the JSRA Country Super Series and Junior Sedan Racing in WA.
A BBQ Sausage Sizzle will be held in the pits at Kalgoorlie from 3.00pm on Saturday afternoon to welcome everyone to a new season and get to know some of our new members.
