Modlites gearing for tight battle
SPEEDWAY: Toowoomba Top Guns Scott Lehfeldt, Terry Leerentveld and Nathan Politch will be joined by modified sedan hard charger “Rocket” Rodney Pammenter in tonight’s modlite showdown at Hi Tech Oils Toowoomba Speedway.
Tonight’s modlite racing is part of a strong support program to the USC sprintcar grand final.
All eyes will be on the “Rocket” to see how he adapts to the fast and nimble modlite category.
Sixteen of Queensland’s best will tackle the Toowoomba circuit to fight out podium positions.
Current Australian champion Klinton Hancey will be out to make amends after being upstaged by Lehfeldt in the last event at the venue.
In a race that had the crowd on its feet, it came down to the last frenetic couple of laps for Lehfeldt to sneak past Hancey for a home-track victory.
Brisbane’s Sean Rose will also look to take a step higher on the podium after finishing in third at the last event in Toowoomba.
He is a crowd favourite who hangs it all on the line for victory.
Queensland hot-shots Jac Carnall, Adam Walker, Neil Gregson and New South Wales invader Jared Stephenson will be hot on the heals of the leaders looking to improve on their last showings on the high banks of Toowoomba.
All is set for a huge night of modlite action with the little cars never disappointing around the Toowoomba venue.
Tonight’s sprintcar grand final program also feature fireworks and lightning sprints with the opening ceremony from 6pm.
