by | Apr 25, 2021 | SA, SSA Modified Sedans

Victorian Champion Jake Drewett has capped off a remarkable seven days by capturing victory in the 2020/2021 SSA Modified Sedan SA State Title last night at the Whyalla Speedway.

Drewett got the better of the twenty five lap battle with five time and defending South Australian Champion Peter “Spider” McCarthy, as the pair put on a great display of hard but clean racing.

Victorian Andrew Dike brought his Ford Falcon home in third place nearly four seconds behind the two entries from Mildura as the race went the entire twenty five laps without a stoppage.

Former South Australian Champion Terry Brown qualified the S9 Ford Falcon from pole position and battled both McCarthy and Drewett in the early going.

Brown eventually fell to fifth place by race end after suffering a flat right rear in tyre in the concluding stages with the first South Australian car across the line being the older model Ford Falcon of Ben Whitehead who was officially fourth.

The Mitsubishi Magna of Nathan Thorne continued its strong from in SSA Street Stock competition as he took out the thirty lap main event for round six of the 2020/2021 MJS Street Stock Series ahead of Mount Gambier’s Jayden Edwards and Nigel Reichstein.

Speedway Sedans South Australia President Paul Blenkiron claimed victory in the twenty lap Brian Skelton Memorial for SSA Super Sedans ahead of Neville Nitschke and Kym Jury with Chelsea Gwynne claiming the SSA Junior Sedan Feature Race.
