In what is no doubt a prelude to the upcoming National Title, more than 30 drivers have entered for Tuesday nights Street Stock event at Adelaide Motorsports Park.
Defending Champion Rhys Heinrich heads the line-up, at the venue he will be hoping will be kind to him in less than two months, when he tries to replicate recent history by winning back to back titles like Anthony Beare and Robbie Faux.
Heinrich has had a relatively quiet start to the season, with just one Feature win to his name this season, with the Boxing Night Stampede a good opportunity to change that.
Anthony Beare is also in the large field with the three times Champion looking to add to his two feature successes this season.
Mark Jennings returns to Adelaide Motorsports Park next Tuesday night for the first time since he had a clean sweep at the venue last season, with Jennings focusing on consistent results.
The field also includes Queensland Champion, Darren Giacometti, Neville Nitchske, Craig Buchanan, Darren Flatman, Andy Maxwell Jnr, and Carey Weston, all of whom have won a Feature race this season.
Add in Mark Gartner, Grant Harris, Jayden Edwards and Mick Clark to name a few, and a highly competitive night of racing is assured.
Racing will commence at 6.00pm CDST
As a side note, nominations for the National Title will open in just a few days.
