Friday October 30th a smaller than usual Pitcher Racing team headed to Timmis Speedway in Mildura.
We had only one Wingless take to the track and that was Mason in the Sa55.
Only a small field of 8 cars in total.

Mason qualified P3 in time trials.

HEAT 1. P3 and as Michael said "it pushed like a bitch" but then he settled in and did some fast laps to finish P2.

HEAT 2. P6 and got to P2 in first lap. Was a fantastic race with the front 3-4 putting on a show with Mason finishing P3.

FEATURE. Started P2 and drove well to finish P2.

05/10/2026

The October long weekend saw a few of us travel to B&S Earthworks Timmis Speedway Mildura for the 2026 Wingless Sprint Stampede. This was a big two nights with 52 cars nominated and $10,000 to win. Sharni was our only driver to give it a go knowing that she was hitting the track with many top drivers.
Two heats each on Saturday followed by 3 Prelim Features.
One heat and features on Sunday.

SATURDAY DAY 1.
HEAT 5. Started P8 kept tussling with another car swapping position but he got the better of her and she finished P9.

HEAT 9. Sharni started from pole and led for first lap then the car pushed in the corner letting others through. Sharni did very well to come home in P5 especially with the calibre of cars.

PRELIM 2. Started P11 and had a hard time trying to pass one car. Had a few good tussles and was so lucky to just clip someone that spun in front of her. Sharni finished P10.

SUNDAY DAY 2.
Like chalk and cheese, Sunday compared to Saturday. Drizzle for a lot of Saturday but Sunday was sunny and quite warm. This made it for a completely different track each night. We returned to the track Sunday and washed the car which was covered in an inch thick of mud. One round of heats and then the features.

HEAT 12. Started P7 and it didn't take too long before NT1, SA1 passed her. Her setup was a bit off but she drove well to hang on to finish P8.

Sharni made it into the Cmain. Just happy that she didn't have to try and go through the Dmain.
CMAIN. Started P11 out of 20. She got a good start. On first lap she tried to avoid a couple of cars that had spun and was helped from behind to spin her and made slight contact with the spun cars. Because she stopped she was sent rear of field. On the restart she even got a better start and made her way up to P8 (last transfer spot). She was flying then the car pushed and took her to the wall in turn 4. This caused her steering to lock, as she came down the track she collided with a couple of cars with one rolling and landing on her car. Glad that everyone was ok. Sharni bent her front beam, bent multiple bars and her chassis has some permanent tattoos. There were a few other things but I won’t list them all 😁 as “that’s racing”. It was a mixed weekend but overall we are so happy with Sharni's pace.
Congratulations to Tyson Martin 🏁
It was a good weekend. We caught up with some great people.
Thank you to everyone that helped the meeting happen especially the volunteers.
