The end of an era ! Original Terry white Granny Bowl kart “less wings” Dean McComb” could possibly have the front one we may have the back ? 😂 Everything you see will go as one package. FYI Kt100 shown on ground needs rebuild. J motor still runs well and ran many a granny bowl lap. Rolling tool box, starter and sniper alignment etc and yada yada goes with. $2500 first in best dressed. Share around if you wish “pick up only” Coolum Beach.

Man I have made a lot of mistakes in this sport but deciding, loading and driving down all in one day proved that this wasn’t one.

Well Done to all who picked up a podium ! Can’t wait to get back for the next meeting 👊

Congratulations to our POWRi Racing Australia NSW Champions.

Lees Fencing SPEEDWAY KARTS

A super fast kart A main produced some of the best kart racing seen in a very long time. The front pack went wheel to wheel turning 11 second laps and not giving an inch. The hard luck story was new comer Brad Lees who was sitting in a podium position until about 3 laps to go when he spun the kart and was forced to the rear of the field.

1st - Brendan Hutchings
2nd - Joel Buettel
3rd - Cameron Jones

Microsprint Mania JUNIOR MICROSPRINTS
Local star Bailey Carter showed the rest how its done to take a comfortable victory on home turf over the 2 Victorian young guns.

1st - Bailey Carter
2nd - Aston Rodriguez
3rd - Zac Stevens

Microsprint Mania 270/450CC MICROSPRINTS

In what was one of the most entertaining races of the night, Jason Summers let 18 of the 20 lap final with cars with the pack hounding him every lap. Jackson Isaacs made a dive for the lead and unsettled Summers which was enough to let Peter Blake sneak through also. Summers could only watch in horror as his championship slipped away.

1st - Jackson Issacs
2nd - Peter Blake
3rd - Jason Summers

We thank all our volunteers, competitors and race fans for braving the heat and supporting The Bowl.

Our next schedueled race meeting is Round 3 of the Taylor's Outdoor Power Equipment track championship on December 9th.

This will be the last event of 2023 as we have a few weeks off to unwind.

We are proud to be a part of these events 🙏

Andrew Stevens claimed his first ever POWRi Racing Australia main event win last night in round 2 of the Taylor's Outdoor Power Equipment speedbowl track championship.

In what was a drama filled but thrilling race on less than ideal track conditions, early race leader Tomas Partington and Stevens came together mid race with Partington unable to restart.

Tomas was very animated as he exited his Turn One Motorsport machine and had a few choice words for Stevens.

This showed the raw emotion and desire to win every driver has as they roll out onto the track to do battle.

The podium was rounded out by Dan Biner in second, and Jamie Hall third, after Cooper Howe and Matt smith came together on the last lap leaving Howe upside down on the last corner.

The Freight Haul junior Microsprint event was taken out by young Victorian gun Aston Rodriguez, followed by Queensland's Cooper Flynn in second and local star Bailey Carter home for third.

Fwordspeedshop 270/450 Microsprints put on a fantastic race with multiple lead and positing changes throughout the event, Peter Blake once again claimed the win ahead of Josh Biner and Lachlan Issacs.

The feature race of The Plumber .Plumbing & Gas. KARTSTARS super series was postponed due to the track conditions after days of rain in the lead up.

He's usually behind the wheel of the Graham Racing Development speedcar, and is one of the most accomplished Speedcars - Australia's Mighty Midgets drivers in the country, but this weekend Nathan Smee makes his POWRi debut driving for legendary Sydney car owner Edward Dark in the immaculate and iconic EH DARK & SON number 2.

Nathan and Edward have made the most of off season practice events and have shown amazing speed from the word go.

He will certainly be one to watch this Saturday night @ The Bowl!!!

EXTEND IT!

It’s been a busy off season at Hi-Tec Oils Toowoomba Speedway and we’ve been continuing to future proof our venue with upgrades and improvements both above and under the ground along with all the normal spring cleans of all our buildings, upgraded and fresh signage and general landscaping of our garden and surrounds.

During a recent track inspection, it was discovered that our secondary spectator fence was under the required minimum standard of 1m. So the fence has been extended and we’ve fixed all the boundary fences around the entire venue.

Underneath the ground, we’ve run new electrical and water pipe down to the bore (300m) which should comfortably see us through the next few decades. We’ve also got a new electronic timing transponder loop.

Stay tuned for more improvements, as we’ve got pretty cool things to show you during the weeks ahead in the lead up to our first practice night (Saturday 9 September). Yep, only just over 2 weeks away!

It’s your Speedway, Toowoomba!

Ooo so close to soo much goodness 🤘

We are lucky to have these guys and their patronage as we appreciate all of our customers. The only difference I can note with this young man is he is going to go as far as he chooses. Hard work pays off yes but this dude is a racer he is the real deal in my opinion. you can’t teach it and he has it 👊👍 my opinion

Our first ever USA podium at Lincoln speedway!! So close to my first win, but super stoked with 2nd place!

Thanks to everyone for all their help and support to make this all possible.

Lake Liddell Speedbowl, The home of small car speedway

It was great to have Aidan and his family trek to our shop on the way home from another trophy night on the weekend. Another step towards an experience we are just as excited about as he is. Their enthusiasm was fantastic and this lad really does carry himself very well. Polite, well mannered and did his homework prior. 1 lap 10 laps it won’t matter he is worth the effort 100%. And if anyone was wondering his mum has given the go ahead and that is mostly for ourselves the important part of our first meeting. Next weekend will see us ramp up towards a first practice in Toowoomba real soon

DARK TIMES AHEAD

Legendary Sydney based car owner, Edward Dark is set to end his 20 year absence from the speedway pit area when he puts his immaculate and iconic yellow number 2 wingless 600cc Microsprint on the track at Lake Liddell Speedbowl next Saturday afternoon with superstar Nathan Smee at the wheel.

Edward who was responsible for the world famous Gary Rush victories at the last ever Sydney Showground events has shown plenty of interest in the POWRI Microsprints over the last 12-18 months and what he saw was enough for him to dust off his overalls and get trackside yet again.

When quizzed about his return to racing and what attracted him to the POWRI ranks his reply was short and simple.

"Gives me an interest and I still have a passion for racing . I think Lake Liddell Speedbowl has the correct approach to racing " The idea is to go broke as slowly as possible not at 100 mph " The cost of a Speedcar is out of reach for most people now"

This isn't the first time Edward and Nathan have joined forces with Nathan strapping into the Dark midget way back in the 1999/2000 season.

When we asked Edward why Nathan again the response was simple.

"He's fast" and knows how to get the job done.

We are genuinely thrilled to have these guys on board, and this moment holds great significance for speedway enthusiasts Australia wide as they eagerly anticipate the return of the iconic #2 to the racetrack.

ITS WADES WORLD!

One of the best known Speedway names across the country is Wade Aunger and it is for that reason that the PSW are proud to announce that he and his iconic voice will form a huge part of the PSW in 2024!

Wade has done it all in Speedway, starting in WA and quickly expanding to work across the Nation at our biggest events. In recent years he has even dipped his toe in the water internationally with huge success, so having him join the PSW is quite simply huge!

"Wade was the missing piece of the puzzle as we put together PSW once again" says Lee Redmond. "I have known him for years; his commentary style is exactly what we want for the series and we know that he will bring the best out of everyone who joins us on the tour this year."

Wade is also thrilled to be part of the PSW, an opportunity he jumped at:

“I’ve had a passion for Speedcar racing since watching my West Aussie heroes at Claremont like Keith Mann and Johnny Fenton in my youth to Neville Lance, Graham Jones, Michael Figliomeni, Tommy Watson Sr and Jr, Wayne Cover, Tony Tucknott, Ian Watts, Fergie Donaldson, Geoff Stanton, Ron Glazebrook, Trevor Henderson, Joe Little, Warrene Ekins (NT) and then the NSW stars like Steven Graham, Adam Clarke, Troy and Darren Jenkins, Mark Brown, Craig Brady, Brett Morris, Rod Bowen and South Aussies like Gary Dillon, Rex Hodgson, Phil Hereen, Phil March, Trevor Green and so many more across Australia.

"Speedcars have always lit my fire. My first ever regular column in the Claremont Speedway program as a sixteen-year-old was ‘Wild and Wingless’ that I wrote for WASDA in the late eighties. I’ve always loved the wheel-to-wheel racing, the community, the wild and unpredictable nature of the cars and the skill of the drivers that raced them.

"Over the years I have been privileged to drive cars loaned to me in practice sessions from Wayne Cover and Darren and Troy Jenkins to name a few. There’s something about the way you can literally feel the car working. As an announcer there’s always plenty to get excited about when they’re on track. They always leave you gasping. Whether its Aussies, Kiwis or Americans the battles are always fantastic.

"When I heard that Lee Redmond was getting together with Trav Mills and Andy Pearce to bring back PSW I knew that I wanted to announce it. There is just so much new exciting talent around the country and some fantastic teams. Lee, Trav and Andy understand what entertainment is all about and how to present racing to the fans. The fact they are also racers themselves means that they get and understand the best of both worlds.

"The tracks that the PSW is visiting are fantastic for Speedcar racing too so the spectacle of some of the best teams and drivers going at it is going to be wild. I can’t wait!”

Take a look at Dan Biner in action! He's heating up that right rear tire during a heat race in March this year. The sun was setting, casting a beautiful golden light over turns 1 and 2.
I managed to snap a pic just as Dan was going through the turns, and the light hit the steam coming off the tyre perfectly, making it look super cool.

It's moments like these that make motorsport photography so exciting!
