Well done to all our racers on a successful, if not eventful, final race day of the season at Laang Speedway on Saturday!

There was some excellent battles across all classes, none more so than the Open 120 kids battling it out for the Vic Title! After some mixed results in the heats, and a little controversy in the final, it was Blake Balcombe that kept clear of most of the trouble and drove away to a well earned feature win! Jayden Lock stayed strong to claim second, while Chelsea Balcombe made it a brother and sister podium finish taking out third place.

The 160 class unfortunately didn't have the numbers to complete their Vic Title, but it didn't make for disappointing racing! With Jemma Woods driving as a rookie, each of the three competitors chalked up a heat win on the day. Declan Robinson eventually winning ahead of a determined Dakota Lucket and Jemma.

The Novice A class again saw some competitive driving with some good passing moves throughout the day. After starting the final in pole, Callan Atkinson held off a hard pushing Riley Taylor and Jamie Balcombe who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Not to be outdone, we saw some fast driving and even a rollover in the Novice B class! With the fastest drivers finding their way to the front in the final, Holly Hutchison saw off the challenge from a quick Jed Moorfoot in 2nd and Leah Balcombe rounding out the podium.

Well done again to all our little racers on a fantastic season and final day of racing!!

​Currently contesting his debut season in Junior Quarter Midgets in the 160cc class, Declan Robinson is loving every minute of his new speedway racing campaign.

Being based in Lara, Victoria, right on the doorstep of Geelong’s Avalon Raceway, the 14-year-old racer has been a regular spectator over the years, closely following the career of Sprintcar racer Michael Cunningham and becoming a real student of the speedway game.

​It’s no wonder that fourth-generation racer Riley Taylor would eventually follow in his family’s tyre tracks by undertaking his own competitive racing career, with the youngster currently contesting his first season in Junior Quarter Midgets.

After making his debut at the beginning of the season in the Novice B class, where he picked up a number of wins, Riley progressed into the Novice A class within two race meetings and has steadily built up his confidence and become more competitive.

Joining the nine-year-old driver, from Carrum Downs in the south-east of Melbourne, this season is his younger sister Eliza (7), who made her debut in the Novice B class in the middle stages of 2016-17.
