FWRT – End of Season Wrap-Up

This year will go down as one of the most successful seasons in almost 30 years of racing super sedans for FWRT.

We took out the Victorian Super Sedan Series, finished 3rd in the Avalon Track Championship, picked up 4 podium finishes, and racked up numerous heat wins along the way. A huge season by any measure.

Lionel's driving has been superb all year, and it's matched by the effort he puts in off the track too — the hours spent on maintenance repairs and setups have really paid dividends this year

To our crew — Denny, Riley, Graham, Ben, Nikki, and everyone else who's lent a hand this season — thank you. The time you all give up away from home to be trackside supporting our program means more than you know.

To our sponsors:
APCO Service Stations thank you for fuelling our season. Their stations are right on or near the way to most of the tracks we race at, so next time you're filling up, jump in and grab a coffee or a jaffle to support them back.

Johnny Dyno Engines — thank you to John for building us great engines and for the trackside support whenever we've needed it.

SWEET CHASSIS AUSTRALIA Thanks to both Matt and Brad Pascoe for their guidance this year around setup of the car

And finally to the Victorian Super Sedan Association thank you for putting together a great calendar of racing this year. We're really looking forward to the positive changes coming for 2026/27, and none of it happens without the committee and volunteers who sacrifice their time for the sport.

Onwards to next year, we know this sport never stands still and we have work to do to stay at the front.

Congratulations Graham West on a 5th place series finish And taking home Fan Favourite Award!

MODIFIED SEDANS SET FOR ADELAIDE GRAND FINAL SHOWCASE!

Speedway Sedans Australia is thrilled to announce that SSA Modified Sedans will take centre stage at one of the biggest motorsport events on the Australian calendar, with the division confirmed for the prestigious NAPA Speedway Class Invitational as part of the bp Adelaide Grand Final.

Held alongside the highly anticipated NAPA Sprintcar Invitational on Thursday and Friday nights, SSAModified Sedans will race under lights in front of packed grandstands and a massive national audience, competing for their share of a lucrative $10,000 prize pool.

The return of grandstand seating and the corporate VIP Platform will once again provide fans with a premium viewing experience, with tickets starting from just $39 for General Admission and $79 for Grandstand seating.

For SSA Modified Sedan competitors, this is a rare opportunity to showcase the class on one of the sport’s biggest stages. Racing in front of huge crowds, alongside some of Australia’s best Sprintcar talent, and competing for significant prize money, the event is set to be a landmark moment for the division.

Speedway Sedans Australia CEO Greg Lynd is excited by the opportunity:

“SSA Modified Sedans are one of the most exciting classes in Australian speedway, and they always delivering spectacular racing and entertainment for fans. We are extremely proud to be involved for the second consecutive time at such a notable event and to have the opportunity to showcase SSA Modified Sedans on one of the biggest motorsport stages in the country.”

Expressions of interest are now open, with selection completed by the promoter and not SSA, so competitors are encouraged to register as soon as possible to potentially be part of this historic event through this link: https://adelaidegrandfinal.com.au/event-info/napa-speedway-eoi/

Don't miss your chance to be part of the action as SSA Modified Sedans head to Adelaide for what promises to be one of the highlights of the 2026 speedway season.
