A VERY IMPRESSIVE entry list has been retained for the re-scheduled round ten of the McCosker Super Sedan Series at Castrol Edge Lismore Speedway, Saturday night, February 27

Incessant heavy rain late last week and into the weekend forced promoter David Lander to postpone the much anticipated Super Sedan show seven days.

“The non-stop rain did some damage and by Friday morning we were in trouble. I admit it was an early call Friday to postpone the meeting but I had to do that in the best interest of everyone involved.

“Yes, we might have been, at a remote chance, able to run but the track would have been unsuitable and only suitable for motocross bikes which would have been unfair to the drivers facing such a potentially rough track and it would also have lacked proper racing entertainment for our loyal fans,” Lander explained.

The nominations are again headed by multi Super Sedan and Late Model National Champion Darren Kane, three times Australian Super Sedan titleholder Matt Pascoe, triple National Champion Mick Nicola (Victoria), two times National Super Sedan Series winner Wayne Randall and last start McCosker series round victor Sam Roza.

Steve Jordan, Ian and Hayden Brims, Tania Smith and Trent Wilson are also among the drivers who will contest the round next weekend, culminating with a 30-lap feature race.

Wayne Randall celebrates his fiftieth year of racing this year after commencing his career at Lismore Speedway in 1971.

As of Monday morning, twenty nominations were received by the Lismore Speedway office.

Round ten, presented in association with TMS Quality Sportswear, will be a very special occasion for Ian Brims who last week officially announced his retirement from over three decades of racing.

There has been a change to the support divisions on the Lismore card for this coming Saturday night (February 27).

The AMCA Nationals are not available and have been replaced by Four Cylinder Sedans. The rest of the support categories – Wingless Sprintcars, Production Sedans, Street Stocks and Junior Sedans – remain as per the original (February 20) programme.

Gates open 4PM. Prior to the meeting commencement a grand parade of Super Sedans will be held followed by hot laps. Racing will start at 5:15pm.

The McCosker Super Sedan Series stars and their cars will be in the NSW town of Lismore this Saturday which is supported by local business TMS Quality Sportswear. The Castrol Edge Lismore Speedway plays host to round ten of the McCosker Series.

The series continues to have strong car counts with twenty-two drivers from Victoria, NSW and Qld participating.

Following his podium at the last event in Gympie Sean Black (Sweet 26) is the new points leader and will headline the field a long with current National Champion Darren Kane (Dominator Aus 1) and former national champions Matty Pascoe (Sweet 47), Steve “the Joker” Jordan (Dominator 7) and Mick Nicola (KO Vic 3).

Also in the field are home club members Tania Smith (Rocket 3) and Hayden Brims (Rocket 111). Tania has had success at the showground track in the past, most notably winning the 2010 Grenville Anderson East Coast Grand National, and will be looking to put her local knowledge to good use. Hayden is in his Rookie year in the class, although certainly no stranger to the Lismore venue having competed in Junior sedans since 2016, and he currently sits in second place in the Development Series point score.

As one Brims begins his Super Sedan career another Brims is bidding the sport farewell. Ian Brims (Hayden’s Uncle) who lives in Murwillumbah and considers Lismore Speedway to be his home track shared the following on his social media page this past weekend “After much consideration, Brims Racing Team has decided to retire from Super Sedan racing due to driver and crew work commitments.

Round 10 of the McCosker Super Sedan Series supported by TMS Quality Sportswear at Lismore Speedway on Saturday 20th February 2021 will be the final chapter for driver Ian Brims. Ian will be finishing his racing career at the track where he started during the 1985/86 Season in Production Sedans, transitioning into Super Sedan’s during 2000/01 and considers Lismore as one of his favourites.

We’ve had plenty of good times from the opportunity to race all over Australia and have met some great people along the way. We take this time to thank everyone for their support during our speedway racing journey, it has been appreciated.

Look forward to catching up for the last show.

Mothar Mountain is one of Sam Roza’s favourite tracks since he came into the sport in Junior Sedans in 2008. By his own admission however the track has been a bogey one where he has failed to finish on many occasions in the Super Sedan but that is no more as the twenty five year old has led from flag to flag to secure his first ever feature win in a Super Sedan. Second was Trent Wilson (Sweet 44) and third was Sean Black (Sweet 26)

Another terrific crowd was on hand to at the Corbet’s Group Gympie Speedway for round nine of the McCosker Super Sedan Series which was supported by Ian Boettcher Race Parts. Unfortunately Matty Pascoe, Mick Nicola, Colin Kaine and Craig Craft were all scratchings during the week and unluckily the Rocket of Tania Smith had a component failure during wheel packing and would take no further part in the event. As a result eighteen cars competed in six heat races. Heat winners were Darren Kane (Dominator Aus 1), Sean Black, Gavin Northfield (Dominator 15), Sam Roza (Sweet 77), Nicholas O’Keeffe (Sweet 20) and Trent Wilson.

The top ten in points were Sam Roza 112, Sean Black 104, Darren Kane 96, Gary Pagel 92 (Dominator 5), Trent Wilson 88, Steve Jordan 88 (Dominator 7), Nicholas O’Keeffe 86, Justin Smithwick 78 (Sweet 63), Josh McLaren 76 (Sweet 96) and Gavin Northfield 76.

The top six then drew for positions with the results being 1. Darren Kane, 2. Sam Roza, 3. Steve Jordan, 4. Gary Pagel, 5. Sean Black, 6. Trent Wilson.

Thirty laps was the feature distance for the starters however Steve Jordan was unable to take up his place as the right rear deflated on the rolling laps. Sam Roza got the best of the start and was straight into the lead followed by Kane, Black and Pagel. The first caution was on lap 7 for a spin by Brendon Kelly. On the Delaware restart Black and Wilson moved by Kane, another driver on the move was rookie Zac Pascoe who after starting in fourteenth was now up to position nine. The next caution was on lap fourteen for Darren Kane who had broken right front suspension after some contact. The top five after the restart were Roza, Black, Wilson, Pagel and Smithwick, Zac Pascoe was continuing his charge at this point was up to sixth. The final caution in the race was on lap 18 for an incident at the hairpin and would see Craig Hammond banished to the infield as the prime cause. Armstrong and O’Keeffe received damage and would take no further part. The final restart once again saw the Delaware line up in place and Wilson made good use of the highline to depose of  Black and take over second place, fourth was now Zac Pascoe and fifth was Josh McLaren. Sam Roza drove the last 12 laps faultlessly and brought his Ford Wreckers Redcliffe Ford Mustang to the chequered flag, leading all 30 laps and picking up his first feature win in Super Sedans. Trent Wilson had his best result for the season in second with Sean Black rounding out the podium. Zac Pascoe finished fourth and received the trophy for first place in the Development Series. Josh McLaren also picked up his best result for the season collecting fifth place.

Sam Roza had a near perfect night with two seconds and a first in qualifying and then leading the entire feature. Sam said today “finally broke the bad luck curse with finally finishing a feature at Gympie and did it in the best possible way”. The Sweet 77 of Sam Roza is sponsored by Ford Wreckers Redcliffe, Oz Race Wraps, Tasman Racewear, Autosmart North Brisbane, Beedhams Brake and Exhaust, 44 Photography, Parkers Body Shop, Redcliffe Towing and Australian Auto Hoses. He thanked Mum, Dad, Michael and  Declan for their hard work during the night.

The second placed car of Trent Wilson is sponsored by Molytec Australia, Ultraloc, Isuzu Trucks Townsville, Northern Hard Surfacers, Les Wells Steel, Castrol, Hair & Soul with Lauren Kate, NQ Wheels & Castors, Bea Sheetmetal, Grampians Equipment Hire, Pure Vibe Event Hire, Advantage Tyres and Sweet Chassis. When asked today about his night Trent said “heat racing was tough on a tricky track. The restarts in the feature were crucial, I’m absolutely stoked to get second after some awesome clean racing with Sean, Darren and Gary. I’d like to say big congrats to Sam on his first win and to Sean on his third place”.

Third placed Sean Black played his Joker and as a result had a very good points haul which will see him back in the lead of the McCosker Series. This played heavily on Sean’s driving in the feature as he pointed out today his goal was to maximise. The Sweet 26 Chev SS is sponsored by Handford Plumbing Services, Narellan Pools, Linmac Automotive, Burson’s Autoparts, Toowoomba Steering and Suspension, L Cleaning Service, DTS, Ash Media, Page Race Engines, Terry Austin Smash Repairs, DePool Shop, Scott’s FRP, GW Racing.

Round nine of the McCosker Series has attracted a quality field of 22 drivers from Qld, NSW and Victoria for competition at the Corbet’s Group Mothar Mountain Speedway. This event marks halfway in the Series and is supported by Ian Boettcher Race Parts.

Last start feature winner and Series leader Darren Kane (Dominator Gen 5 AUS 1) and second placed Sean Black (Sweet 26) will resume their battle for series honours with both drivers having achieved much success at the unique Mothar Mountain raceway. Former National champion Steve Jordan who finished in third place at the Summer Slam event on the 27^th of December is also nominated, he has sold his number 10 Sweet and so this weekend he will return to the Dominator 7 car. Victorian

Mick Nicola will also compete however he too has had a car change and will pilot the Rocket 11 leaf spring/crate motor combination that was driven by both Matty and Brad Pascoe earlier in the series. The Team made the decision to run the Rocket as the Vic 3 KO Chassis is currently in Traralgon (Vic) in preparation of running in the South Australian Titles next weekend. This gives Mick the opportunity to continue to chase points as the Team currently sits in third in the McCosker Series standings.

Other drivers to keep an eye on are Sam Roza (Sweet 77), Tania Smith (Rocket 3), Gary Pagel (Dominator 5) and Justin Smithwick (Sweet 63) who all performed well in the Ford Wreckers Redcliffe Summer Slam event in December.

Justin Smithwick currently sits 7^th in the McCosker Super Sedan Series point score. He is a great supporter of the series traveling from his home in Rockhampton to every round so far this season. Justin began his racing career in a Toyota Corolla in fender benders, his current car is a Sweet chassis Chevy Impala. Justin has the support of his family; wife Natalie and children Mia and Will and his pit crew Alan Barnes, Peter Coburn and Jason Stewart. Justin’s number 63 Sweet is sponsored by Barnes Drilling, Pat Smithwick Excavations, CQ Cabinetmakers and Love Auto Electrics.

Drivers will contest 3 rounds of heats each. Qualifiers 1 thru 6 will participate in the random bottle draw. With the remaining positions locked in to the 30 lap feature.   

The round is supported by Ian Boettcher Race Parts.

Also on the program are:- City of Gympie Formula 500 Title, IBRP Production Sedan Mountain King, Modified Sedans, National 4’s, Street Stocks, Junior Sedans.

It’s going to be a huge night of action that will see racing from 5 pm on Saturday 6^th February 2021.

A massive crowd at Corbet’s Group Mother Mountain Speedway witnessed some fantastic racing in round two of the Ford Wreckers Redcliffe Summer Slam. Darren Kane (Dominator Aus1) led all 40 laps in a welcome return to form for the Ian Boettcher Race Parts Team. Sean Black (Sweet 26) was second and Steve Jordan (Sweet 10) third.

Preliminary racing saw nine heat races with wins going to Darren Kane, Nicholas O’Keeffe – two wins (Sweet 20), Gary Pagel (Dominator 5), Mick Nicola (KO3), Steve Jordan, Sean Black, Sam Roza (Sweet 77) and Justin Smithwick (Sweet 63).

The top ten in points were Darren Kane (104), Justin Smithwick (104), Matty Pascoe (100), Nicholas O’Keeffe (100), Steve Jordan (100), Sean Black (100), Sam Roza (100), Tania Smith (Rocket 3) (96), Gary Pagel (96), Zac Pascoe (Dominator 51) (88).

Nineteen cars were set for the forty lap journey however a mechanical issue with the O’Keeffe car would see him retire to the infield unable to take up his position. Darren Kane led away with Sean Black forging straight into second, Justin Smithwick to third and Matty Pascoe to fourth on the first lap. On lap seven Matty Pascoe was able to pass Smithwick, Pascoe then soon joined the leading duo of Kane and Black and the three raced closely. Meanwhile Smithwick, Steve Jordan and Tania Smith were having a great battle until Jordan was able to slip underneath on lap thirty. With five laps left to run Matty Pascoe made an uncharacteristic error and spun the 47 Sweet to bring on the cautions and be relegated to the rear of the field. On the thirty-eighth circuit Tania Smith was able to pass Smithwick coming out of the hairpin for fourth, the top three remained unchanged with Darren Kane scoring a flag to flag victory over Sean Black and Steve Jordan. Smithwick survived to finish in fifth. The first development series driver home was Zac Pascoe who finished in seventh position.

The Dominator Australia 1 is sponsored by Ian Boettcher Race Parts, Dominator Race Cars, Motorsport Fuels and DRW Racewear. Sunday nights pit crew was limited to Greg Boettcher and Todd Lloyd with David Knight and Brenton Knight unable to attend the two nights of the Summer Slam. Greg had this to say following the Team’s win “… we went from one extreme to the other from the night before. The last two nights racing on slick tracks certainly had Brenton working overtime at home on the simulator”. Greg also thanked Tristan Green and Bruce McKenzie for lending a hand.

Autobarn Carina Speedway was host to round one of the Ford Wreckers Redcliffe Summer Slam which was round 6 of the McCosker Super Sedan Series.

Matty Pascoe (Sweet 47) led all 30 laps to win narrowly from Nicholas O’Keeffe (Sweet 20) and a distant Mick Nicola (KO V3) in third.

Time was against the track staff and as a consequence one round of heats were dropped and the feature reduced to 30 laps. The heat race wins went to rookie Hayden Brims (who recorded his first Super Sedan race win) (Rocket 111), fellow rookie Zac Pascoe (Dominator 51), Matty Pascoe, Mick Nicola, Justin Smithwick (Sweet 63) and Steve Jordan (Sweet 10).

The top 5 in points after the two rounds were Matty Pascoe 114, Mick Nicola 108, Nicholas O’Keeffe 108, Hayden Brims 102, Steve Jordan 96.

The track all night was bottom dominant and that’s how the feature started with the inside line getting the best start. Pascoe led from O’Keeffe, Nicola and Jordan. Sam Roza (Sweet 77) made some good progress early to be in position four on lap 9 from his seventh starting spot. Sean Black and Hayden Brims made the mid field racing interesting swapping positions six and seven several times. Roza made every effort for a podium with many attempts to pass Nicola on the outside however he would spin on lap 26 and was out of the race with a flat left front tire after contact. The top five finishing order was Matty Pascoe, Nicholas O’Keeffe, Mick Nicola, Steve Jordan, and Sean Black. Hayden Brims was the first development series driver home in sixth place and was impressive on a difficult racing surface considering his limited V8 experience.

Matty Pascoe said after the race “ we were lucky to have our two front row starts count in the shortened program, but the car was good enough after we threw everything at it ”. The winners car is owned and usually raced by Darryl Moon and is sponsored by Moons Earthworks.

Nicholas O’Keeffe was very excited to finish in second place and said that “it was his most consistent night in Super Sedan racing”. He also said “Dad asked me what I needed to do and I just said I got this!”. The number 20 Sweet is supported by  M & N Car Carriers, City Motor Auctions, Workshop Solutions Sunshine Coast, Brisbane Removalists, Harrison Mechanical, and Superior Towing.

In a statement after the race the track staff apologised for the unfortunate delays which forced the changes to the program.
