Super Rod Racing

Super Rod Racing As the cars became lighter and faster a more exciting name was needed and the name of SUPER RODS was then adopted.

Super Rod racing is a division of speedway racing that is unique with a Sprintcar Chassis frame, V8 motor, self starting gear box topped with a fiberglass sedan looking body and race in a clockwise direction. Super Rod racing is a division of speedway racing that evolved from the Heavy Weight Hot Rod Class that pioneered speedway in the south west of Victoria in the 1960's. Today the class regular

ly runs at a host of tracks such as Sungold Stadium (Warrnambool), Avalon (Geelong), Simpson Speedway, Southern 500 speedway (Portland) as well as Mt Gambier, Hamilton, Horsham, Laang and Swan Hill. The frames of the cars are based on the design of a modern sprintcar but are made out of mild steel not chrome moly. Suspension components are the same as used on a Sprintcar. One thing that is different to sprintcars is that the are self starting and are able to move in both a forward and reverse direction. To do this Super Rods utilize a gear box, most commonly a Bert brand transmission. The motors used have a maximum capacity of 360 cubic inches and are limited to cast Iron Cylinder blocks and heads. To also help reduce cost flat top pistons, flat tappat cams etc are also used. The majority of the current engines are Chev's however there are some fords, holdens and a mopar. What really sets the Super Rods apart for all the other classes involved in speedway are the small sedan body shells that are fitted to them. These bodies are made from fibreglass and are easily removed to allow work on the engines. Most of the bodies come off a range of cars like Niki Lada, Honda Z, Ford prefect, Honda Scamp, Daihatsu Charade , mini minors and Holden Barinas.

We were saddened to hear of the recent passing of former Super Rod racer Donald “Jawbone” Morgan of Timboon.

Jawbone raced Super Rods for several seasons around 1998–2000, before returning to the class and racing again from around 2009–2011.

A familiar face around the pits and part of the Super Rod family, Jawbone will be fondly remembered by those who raced with him and knew him through speedway.

A gathering to remember Jawbone will be held at the Timboon Hotel from 12pm this Saturday. Those attending are encouraged to wear flannelette or high-vis clothing as a tribute to Jawbone.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.

Rest in peace, Jawbone. 🏁
