The event, promoted by the PTQCC at Makit Hardware Narrogin Speedway on Sunday the 16th of March, promises to be one not to miss with a number of visiting drivers from the eastern states already nominating, along with several local stars.
The list so far is being headed by current Australian Champion Marcus Kelly. The Shearwater, Tasmania native has signalled his intentions early, racing at the Perth Motorplex last weekend to get some laps under his belt prior to the Australian Title. The night after the Australian title, win, lose or draw, Kelly, driving his Dutchman performance, Joinery Products sponsored machine has nominated to run at Narrogin for his chance at the $5000 winners cheque.
