Despite the best efforts of Mother Nature to ruin the night (Sat 12th Nov), dogged determination by the Nowra promoters saw Round 3 of the NSW Club Championship go ahead.  

A late afternoon thunderstorm threatened to derail the meeting, but a call to arms by the organisers, saw the Wingless wheel packers out of the track, turning lap after lap in an effort to bring the track in to enable racing to take place.
The downside to this however was the resulting late start, which saw the supporting classes on the night have their events reduced to one heat and a feature, in an effort to get the meeting in before curfew.  

The lack of racing laps proved no barrier to the Microsprints as they cut loose on the juiced up track, easily reeling off sub-16 second laps. With the one heat race out of the way {taken out by Brett Sainsbury), attention turned to the main event, which saw Sainsbury start on pole alongside Rhys Marchant.

Sainsbury stormed to the lead on the green and disappeared into the night, such was his dominance, having the length of the straight lead over second placed Marchant by race end, with third placed Gary Hart a further half a lap behind.

Whist hooked up racetracks may not be everyone’s cup of tea, the racing provided on the night was outstanding, given the trying conditions.

TITLE REPEAT FOR CURRAN

Paul  Curran  defeated  a quality  field  to take  victory  in  the  2011-12 NSW Microsprint  Championship  at  Goulburn  Speedway  (19/11/11).
Starting  on  pole, the  defending  champion  took  the  lead  from  the  outset, adapting  to  the  slick  conditions  as  the  majority  of his  rivals  floundered.

Rookie  Sean  Richards, came  within  a car  length  of  the  biggest  win  of  his  short  career, upstaging  his  more  experienced  rivals  to  finish  in  second. Pushing  Curran  for  the  lead  in  the  final  few  laps. Mitch Isaacs fought hard to hold on for third.

Title  favourite  Brett  Sainsbury’s’  hopes  for  another  NSW  Championship  ended  in  heat  3  with  engine  dramas( whilst leading  comfortably), bringing  a  premature  end  to  his  night.

Queensland  visitors, Tony  Norton  and  Greg  Paynter, were welcome  additions  to  the  field, and  relished  the  step  up  in  competition, performing  admirably. With  both  being  rewarded  with  a  top  ten  finish  in  the  final. A fitting reward for their efforts.

Jay Hall made a triumphant return to the Microsprints, with a resounding victory in the opening round of the 2011-12 Microsprint Club Championship, at Goulburn, Saturday night, October 29th.The newly resurfaced track providing the platform for some awesome Microsprint action.

Guest driving for Geoff Procters Castle Printing Team, Hall (starting outside polesitter Brett Sainsbury), showed his rivals a clean pair of heals to take the win, from a revitalised Rhys Marchant and Brett Sainsbury.

Three hotly contested heat races saw Brett Sainsbury pick up the first two, while Jay Hall claimed the third and final heat.
