ROBINSON’S FOURTH NATIONAL TITLE

(Archerfield Speedway PR)

Lismore’s Mark Robinson led throughout the 35-lap feature race at Brisbane’s Archerfield Speedway on Saturday night (January 22) to secure his fourth Australian Dirt Modified Championship victory.

Chasing a sixth consecutive win, Kevin Britten was as exciting as ever with his penchant for running high on the track, but he was unable to chase down Robinson and had to settle for second place on this occasion, with a fast finishing Terry Leerentveld surging into third spot ahead of Andrew Firth and Josh Rose.

The 24-car field was certainly less than expected and the absence of Andrew Pezzutti and David Clark from the event left Robinson and Britten as the only previous winners in the field. This was certainly reflected in the final result as they were a class above the rest of the field come feature race time.

QUEENSLAND MIDGET CHAMPIONSHIP

In the Inksane Tattoo Queensland Midget Championship, Nathan Smee enjoyed an effortless stroll to victory in the 30-lap feature race, becoming the sixth different driver to visit victory lane so far this season.

Last start feature winner Michael Kendall had to settle for second on this occasion, with Rusty Whittaker home third ahead Scott Farmer, with Troy Ware finishing fifth.
