The Victorian Formula 500 stampede series fires into action this weekend at the Bungador bullring Simpson speedway. This season the stampede series welcomes Josh Fort Enterprises to the series to take over naming rights, Josh is the importer of the XXX micro sprint chassis and components into Victoria.
James Aranyosi has again entered as a full series entrant to try and win for a 3rd year, going by his first few meetings this season he will be running at the front end of the field again. Last season’s rookie of the year Jack Bell has been off to a good start also with the few meetings he has raced at already, he will be out to knock off his seasoned competitors. Ben Telindert has always put in consistent results over the past seasons and will be one to watch to see if he can repeat his results. Ash Sinclair will be piloting the Boss Chassis this season and be out to try and park it at the pointy end of the field on the night, brother Dale will be out to get the bragging rights in the family battle but also be another front runner on the night. Throw in the local gun Matthew Symons and you know the battle at the front has another that won’t lay down and take it easy, Australia 2 Steven Horton, Grant Stansfield, the Buckingham brothers Brooke and Josh, Terry Rankin and Shane Van Duynhoven will be out to ruffle the feathers of some of the more favoured drivers to stake their claim on a podium result. As always there will be some close racing and maybe some surprise results from the nights racing.
