Ben Norman & Kurtis Blackburn were the big winners yesterday afternoon at the Shark Bay Speedway in Western Australia as the sport witnessed racing for the first time in eighty five days.
The Oakley Earthworks SSA Street Stock Trophy Day headlined the race meeting with former Denham resident Ben Norman driving solidly over the twenty laps to claim victory.
Jace Kempton lead the opening four circulations before spinning and falling back through the field as did Wade Mason who brought on the yellow lights.
Kempton put on a great display of driving to work his way back into second place by race end with fellow Carnarvon pilot Leo Brooks rounding out the podium ahead of Greg Hewitt and Trent Lyall.
Kurtis Blackburn made the long journey to Shark Bay worthwhile by defeating a great field of SSA Top Star Junior Sedans in what was his final race meeting as a Junior competitor.
Blackburn enjoyed a great final season in the class after finishing fourth in the 2019/2020 SSA National Junior Sedan Title held back in January at the Make Smoking History Collie Speedway.
The Shark Bay Speedway Club will release further details regarding the 33rd Annual Far Western Championships scheduled for Saturday 11th July 2020 in the coming days.
