The Speedway Sedans Australia, Mental Racewear, National Street Stock Title is now eleven days away with 134 drivers set to compete in the second largest National Title in Australian Speedway history, at the B & S Earthworks, Timmis Speedway Mildura.
Whyalla resident, Andy Maxwell Jnr, will be one of those 134 entrants, with the twenty one year old piloting a VY Holden Commodor in the event.
Maxwell Jnr raced Street Stocks for almost three seasons after moving out of Juniors, however this season the team decided to take a different path and move into Late Models, however, the opportunity to race in the biggest event of the season, was one not to be passed up.
Maxwell Jnr will be competing in his fifth National Title, having content a Junior Sedan National Title and three National Street Stock Titles.
I have competed at Mildura many times but to be honest out the 4 classes I have driven there I have never had much luck, with mechanical problems, until this season in the late models placing fourth, he said.
I always love how close Street Stocks are competition wise, but also the people I have met along the way are awesome, and are always winning to help, he added.
With Street Stock, the category where cars have to be able to race in both directions, Maxwell Jnr prefers to race the traditional way, however he admits to driving a lot smoother in the clockwise direction.
I would love to make it straight into the A main this year, but I also understand how good these guys are, who will be there and with not running with them in the season in the lead up, I can only hope lucks on my side and have a good clean run, he said. We all know 40 laps is a long way and anything can happens like last year at AMP. You simply can not afford mistakes/flats, he continued.
