Raymont's too strong!! Posted 30th September, 2007 The Qld Champion Aidan Raymont has raced home to win the Modified Production A Main last night ahead of his older brother Mark Raymont. Sunshine Coast driver Troy Ware surprised a few with an awesome drive to finish third. Ware showed that he has plenty of pace in the Falcon this season. The night was full of plenty of excellent racing with nail biting races, plenty of door to door action and some trills and spills for the crowd.
Raymont was far and away the stand out on the night and will be happy to start the season on a high in preparation for the Australian Title to be held at Maryborough at Easter. The Australian Champ Todd Doyle also showed excellent speed out of the VX Commodore however he had two DNF's due to flat tyres. The crowd certainly enjoyed the non-stop action from the Modified Productions and everyone will be looking forward to seeing them and more back on November 10 for Round 2 of the G & W Racing Modified Production Series. Maryborough's Shane Skene returned to form in the Street Sedans to win the final. Skene narrowly hung on to win the final as he ran wide on the final corner of the last lap, hit the fence and spun across the line to win the first Street Sedan final of the season. Sunshine Coast's David Kent finished second ahead to Qld Champ Jim Cowley. Some people thought that the combining of Division One and two Street Sedans would be a bad moved, however all talk after the meeting to drivers and spectators that it was a success. Mitch Thomsen had an impressive night by winning the QSCA Juniors and finishing second in the ASCF Juniors. Nathan Francis was the winner of the ASCF Juniors with young Jayden Peacock finishing the third. The girls filled the minor placings in the QSCA Juniors with Tiffany O'Keefe (second) and Hannah Vervaart (third).

After numerous yellow lights and stoppages, Scott Lehfeldt won the Qld Title ahead of Matt Greenbury and Peter Rodges. The Pedro Petersen Memorial was a very competitive hit out for the Super Streets, which saw plenty of "biff and barge" during the heat races. A somewhat diminished field lined up for the final, however the final was sensational. Steve Thomsen started out of pole in the final and had challenges from plenty during the final. With a about 8 laps to go, Gladstone's Chris Pendry got up on the outside of Thomsen and the two ran side by side for many laps changing from the inside to the outside. As Thomsen and Pendry came into turn 3 and 4 for the last time, chaos unfolded which saw the yellows come on Steve Thomsen was awarded the win from Andy Roberts and Lee Steffens. The Division One feature race started at a frantic pace with Richard Brosnan and Tim Atkin running hard against each other during the open stages of the event. As the laps counted Atkin and Brosnan still locked together in a red hot battle came together in a big way which saw the end result of two wrecked race cars sitting on the infield. At the restart Maryborough's Chris Elliot drove away from the field to win yet again another feature race. Shane Skene also from Maryborough finished second with Gympie's Allen Nottage finishing in third. It was a Maryborough 1,2,3 in the Division two Street Sedans with Dion Wood winning from Gary Harris and Glen Richters. The hard luck story of the final was Gympie's Brett Baxter who had a big lead in the feature who hit the fence on the very last corner of the last lap to give the win to Wood. The QSCA Junior Street Sedan final was declared early after a massive crash between Maryborough duo, Mitch Thomsen and Bronte McGowan. Thomsen was challenging Max Clarke for the lead who came up passed Bronte McGowan and made contract with her sending her right into the path of a flying Mitch Thomsen. Thomsen hit McGowan with an almighty hit which destroyed both cars and set the Thomsen Falcon on fire. The Maryborough Crash Crew were straight onto the scene and both drivers and passengers walked away without injury. The race was declared and Max Clarke was given the win, with Thomsen keeping his second and Danielle Harris rounding out the podium. The big crowd who braved the cold conditions hung right around to the end to see 20 drivers roll onto the track for the $1000 to win Demolition Derby. The field of cars had everything from Volvo's, Falcon's, Holden's, Valliant's and even a Corolla and didn't they have some fun. After plenty of carnage if was one of the Wilson Brothers from Bundaberg that took home the $1000. The Maryborough Sporting Car Club would like to apologise for the PA systems breaking down for the first half of the show, however thanks to the help of Robbie Griffin Electrical, had the system working again. The club would like to thank everyone that has supported the club during a very successful season.

Darryl Etherden wins Super Street Title Posted 20th May, 2007 Rockhampton's Darryl "Money Man" Etherden took out the 2007 Queensland Super Street Title last night at Maryborough Speedway.
It was Etherden's fourth Qld Title and he says "this one feels as good my first". In front of a another good sized crowd. Etherden was never trouble and easily won the title ahead of Bundaberg's Dennis Shallcross and Home town hero Steve Thomsen finishing in third. Etherden started the feature from pole as he drove brilliantly all weekend and also recording the fastest lap time of 15.808 seconds. On Friday night, the V8 Dirt Modifieds put on some unbelievable racing which saw the current Qld and NSW Champ Luke Oldfield win the feature race. Home in second was Andrew Drake and Darren Lattimer finished in third. The racing from the "Dirt Mods" was spectacular which saw them consistently running two and three wide for entire heat races. The V8 Dirt Modifieds proved a big hit with the crowd and negotiations have started to get them back on a more regular basis. The Nostalgia Sedans turned some great racing, and Cyril Bates won the feature race from Tony Gablonski and a fast finishing John Watson. Saturday night saw the crowd roll in and the racing from the get go was top shelf, as the new track surface has enable drivers to drive anywhere on the track. A good field of Speedcars fronted for the Fraser Coast Speedcar Spectacular and didn't they get the hammer down and put on some nail biting racing. The Feature race started without to many dramas but former Sprintcar driver Brock Dean got out to a big lead when he suffered a front suspension problem which saw him spin out of the race. This allowed Kelvin Hamilton to race home to the feature ahead of Kenny Stanaway and Shane Heathcote (who drove in the ASCF Junior Aussie Title in December). All drivers paid particular to congratulations to the Maryborough Speedway for providing the best race surface that they had raced on this season. The Dwarf Cars certainly proved a big hit with the crowd and Darcy Tweed stole the limelight by having a massive rollover on Friday night after making contact with another car which saw him go into a violent series of rolls up into the top of the catch fence. The contact was that big, that it actually bent to the steel poles that hold the catch fence. Amazingly, Darcy walked away unhurt. The feature race was won by the birthday boy Anthony Chaffey. The Junior Street Sedan final was easily won by the Queensland Champion Brandon O'Keefe. Finishing in second was Maryborough's Mitch Thomsen ahead of Michelle Blavius. In the Division One Street Sedans, Maryborough's Chris Elliot won the 20 laps feature from Hervey Bay's Frank Packer and Craig Franz. 17 year old Brett Baxter from Gympie was able to comfortably win the Division Two final. The battle over the last 10 laps of the final for second and third was awesome as Hervey Bay duo Sam Lack and Glen Richters. The two didn't trade paint however race hard and fast but on the last lap Lack moved to the outside and drove around the outside of Richters to finish in second. The meeting was another huge success and was enjoyed by plenty. The next meeting at Maryborough Speedway will be on June 16 when a big field of Modified Productions return for the Dash 4 Cash.

If he can do it, he will only the fourth driver in Super Street history that has won the title back to back (Chris Jensen - 88 & 89, Russell McFadyen - 92 & 93 and Darryl Etherden 04 & 05).
The driver in the division that has won the most titles is none other then Darryl "Money Man" Etherden who has won the title three times. Darryl has been in red hot form of late and is leading the polls as favourite on a popular speedway forum. Among the rest of the hopes is former Queensland Champion Robert Zelinski who will be driving the Kyle Greaves owned Falcon. Steve Thomsen is the only local in the field and he steps back in the Glen Richters green Cortina and the team have made some changes to the set up and are looking forward to a solid showing come the end of the 40 lap feature race to be held on Saturday night.
