Geraldton Update

This is an update from Jason Bloxsidge in Geraldton.

Geraldton car numbers are set to explode this season with the biggest car counts since the early 90's.New and returning drivers seem to be popping up everywhere with most people ready to race.

So far counting, 12-14 cars plan on running this season. The following is a short rundown on each driver.

Mick Doble will return this season with an array of new equipment after purchasing a couple of Ex Watson's cars and will be hard to beat as always.

Robbie Stephens had a very good run last season taking out highest points and top open wheeled car. He is hard to beat when he's on his game as he showed at the Muster.

Cale Sotiroff will return for his second season in the Limiteds with an engine purchased from the US and will enjoy the extra power and car speed that comes with it.

Mick McInnes will again be running the Ex Jason Johnson car and again is very quick when he gets it all together.

Anthony Gaudio has also purchased a Ex Watsons car as well and has a new engine on the way. He is consistently getting quicker each time out.

Mark Wells is rumoured to be running the second SRT car at most of the major shows this season. After badly damaging the car at the last meeting the team rebuilt the car and won the Far West Championship in Shark Bay.

Nathan Chant is returning after having a season off and will be keen.

Anthony Rifici is returning after the big crash he had at the Wayne Armstrong Cup in '09 and also has built a new motor for this season.

Lionel Curtin is another driver returning to the Limited ranks and spent last season racing 320's but he's seen the light and decided to come back. He will have a nice newly painted car as well as a new MWP engine so will be eager to show he's still got it.

Jason Bloxsidge is another returning to the Limited Sprintcars and will also have an engine from the US.The team plans to run most of the Geraldton Club meetings as well as some of the big shows down south.

Jason Jones is another joining the Limiteds from the 320's an will have a new engine as well. He finished last season on a sour note with a rollover but will be keen to start his season.

Dean Varley will return after a 10yr lay off and is building his car and hopefully will be ready for the first meeting.

Andrew Pedlar will be back for more this year and hopefully we can talk him into running a few nights down south.

Geoff Drew ran a few nights last season and will be keen to run a few more this season with a new engine.

Karl Curtin has purchased a new car and is keen to race.
