Thunder in the Canefields Night 3 and 4.

Night 3:
Qualified - 8th
Heat 1 - 6th
Heat 2 - DNF. We blew the uni on the last lap. This did alot of damage.
The team swapped the rear end out. We made it to the starting grid for the feature just. Due to low points we started 15th and bought the car home in 8th.

Night 4:
Qualified 8th. Brian felt the car was better then 8th and was dissapointed in his laps.
Heat 1 - 7th
Heat 2 - 2nd
Shootout - 5th and missed out on advacing to top 4 by 0.002 seconds.
Feature. Started 5th. On lap 10 made contact with the wall and knocked the ladder out of the car.

Overall it wasnt the Thunder in the Canefields we were chasing. We had fun, learnt alot, hung out with family, represented our sponsors and got to see all the fans. Thanks to everyone involved.

Her we go again!

What’s better than THREE nights of Sprintcars?
FIVE, of course! 😎🏁

Thunder in the Canefields heads back to Cairns Speedway this Friday and Saturday night (07-08 August 2026) for two more huge nights of Sprintcar racing - and, while we’re seen plenty of action so far, there’s still plenty more to come!

The North Queensland cars have been dominating on home turf over the past week… but can they keep the momentum rolling in Cairns?

🏁 Gwesyn Dalliston (NQ65) and Darren Mollenoyux (NQ51) have flown the flag for North Queensland with a win apiece. Can either of them make it two this weekend?

🏁 Jack Lee (V25) and Jacob Jolley (Q82) always have plenty of pace and will be right in the mix.

🏁 Kaydon Iverson, on debut in the car, parked the NQ95 on the podium in Mareeba. Can he climb a couple more steps in Cairns this weekend and keep the momentum rolling?

🏁 Karl Hoffmans (Q3) has victory lane firmly in his sights.

🏁 Brian Walsh (NQ3) and Ash Ewing (NQ99) are both chasing a spot on the North Queensland winners list - and they both have more than enough speed to make it happen.

🏁 West Aussies Ryan Farrell (WX95) and Dustin Filgate (WX31) will be keen to upset the Queenslanders and take a win back across the Nullarbor. 👀

🏁 Just don’t overlook Dan Moes (Q60), Blake Duggan (NQ66), Dan Murray (Q98), Luke Manttan (Q86), Nicholas O’Keeffe (Q20), John Magro (NQ33) and the rest of this seriously talented field.

There’s speed everywhere you look… and they’re all ready to step it up for TWO more nights of Sprintcar action in Cairns! 🔥🏁

Thunder in Canefields Night 2:

After bending our chassis beyond repair on night 1 and an offer from dad to use his car we set to making it happen. Jumping into a different car saw us chasing our normal speed.

We qualified 12th
The heats saw us fine tune the car and prepare for the feature.
We did well enough to transfer direct to A-main which was cut short after a handful of laps due to rain.
Good news is we felt like we had some speed in the feature.
Thanks to all the fans who support us. We see you there each night.
It isnt possible without sponsors, crew or family. The biggest thanks goes to them.
