PRESS RELEASE

The 2011-12 Premier Speedway, Parr Motorsports GF1 Chassis Sprintcar Track Championship certainly went down to the wire as the final round was contested on Sunday night as a part of the third and final night of the Easter Sprintcar Trail.

With Steven Lines entering the event with only a 20 point buffer over his nearest rival James McFadden in the chase for the awesome GF1 Chassis and Panel kit courtesy of Parr Motorsports, the end result was sure to go down to the wire.

With all of the leading contenders including Lines, McFadden, Jamie Veal and Darren Mollenoyux all qualifying directly into the Sunday night A-Main event, it was going to be an intense battle for supremacy!

At the beginning of the A-main it appeared as if Lines may have over-cooked it as he made solid contact with the back straightaway fence in an attempt to move forward and run down early race leader Trevor Green.

Fortunately for Lines he was able to stay under power and motored his way back up to fourth in the running order, a position he held at the fall of the checkered flag.

His fourth place was enough to secure the track championship for 2011-12, given Lines back to back wins following his success in 2010-11.

Jamie Veal followed Green across the line to claim not only second place in the Easter Trail A-Main event on Sunday but he also leapfrogged James McFadden and Darren Mollenoyux in the process to claim second place in the GF1 Chassis Parr Motorsports Track Championship.

For the record, if Lines had of suffered enough damage to have been forced in-field when he hit the wall, he would have gifted the 2011-12 Track Championship to Veal as only 55 points separated the pair at the end of the night.

McFadden hung on for third in the track championship after finishing 8th on Sunday night to back up his Avalon Track Championship win along with his World Series Sprintcars Crown.

Mollenoyux was fourth while young South Australian Daniel Pestka was fifth after scoring points in four of the five completed A-Main events.

A total of 52 drivers secured points by contesting at least one A-Main at Sungold Stadium throughout the 2011-12 season.

“The Parr Motorsports GF1 Chassis Track Championship has once again been a hotly contested event right throughout the season and I know it has now become an extra incentive for a number of teams to come and run with us here at Premier Speedway”, General Manager David Mills said.

“The really exciting part of this track championship deal is the influx of high profile teams during January and the local guys taking them on in the quest for points, it is a really good mix”, Mills added.

Lines managed to score points in four of the five A-Main as completed during the season, only missing the Classic final in the process. Veal likewise was consistent scoring in three rounds of the track championship with a win, a second and a fourth placing.

“We have been extremely fortunate to have had Parr Motorsports and GF1 Chassis on board for the track championship, I really can’t thank Adrian and Kim Parr enough, they are two great people who really have the best interest of the sport at heart”, Mills added.

“I know that Linesy and his Crew were pretty keen to get their hands on that chassis after the meeting” Mills concluded.

The top 10 in the points table looks like this:

Steven Lines (535)
Jamie Veal (480)
James McFadden (440)
Darren Mollenoyux (425)
Daniel Pestka (345)
Brett Milburn (245)
Trevor Green (230)
Brooke Tatnell (220)
Garry Brazier (195)
Ian Loudoun & John Vogels (175)

The final night of racing (non-track championship event) will be held on Saturday April 21, 2012 when the venue will play host to the Tyson Perez Memorial race for 360 Sprintcars with Street Stocks in support.


PRESS RELEASE

The 2011-12 Premier Speedway, Parr Motorsports GF1 Chassis Sprintcar Track Championship is sure to be a closely fought battle with Steven Lines and James McFadden currently locked in a two man war for the overall prize – a superb GF1 Chassis and Panel Kit courtesy of Parr Motorsports.

Following Saturday nights grand final round of the Eureka Garages and Sheds Series which also doubled as the penultimate round of the Track Championship, Steven Lines snow finds himself leading all comers in the race for the GF1 Chassis!

Lines has accrued a total of 390 points, 175 of which are courtesy of his win on Saturday while a further 160 can be attributed to his second placing on January 1 in World Series Sprintcars action.

With Lines now nominated for the prestigious Easter Sprintcar Trail he is well and truly in line to claim back to back track championship honors.

As has been the case all season long James McFadden is also right in the mix when it comes to the Parr Motorsports GF1 Chassis Track Championship.

The driver of the Totally Workwear NQ25 car sits just 20 points adrift of Lines and like Lines has already nominated for the Easter Sprintcar Trail.

With 175 points up for grabs for the winner of the A Feature on Easter Sunday night, McFadden can certainly still claim the GF1 Chassis!

Also mathematical possibilities of stealing the thunder of both Lines and McFadden are recently crowned Eureka Garages and Sheds Series Champion Darren Mollenoyux and his runner up Jamie Veal.

Mollenoyux has amassed 330 points to be 50 points shy of Lines while Veal sits fourth with a tally of 320 points. Both drivers will need strong performances and a couple of cards to fall their way but Easter is always tough and anything can happen.

For the mathematicians out there Darren Hickman (240 points) and Brett Milburn (220 points) are also outside chances of tasting glory!

The Premier Speedway Club is extremely grateful for the support of Adrian and Kim at Parr Motorsports along with the entire team at GF1 Chassis.

“Parr Motorsports and GF1 Chassis have provided a superb prize and the time is fast approaching where the Premier Speedway Club can pass it onto one very lucky driver”, Mills concluded.

A total 46 drivers have secured points by contesting at least one A-Main so far this season.

The top 10 in the points table looks like this:

Steven Lines (390)
James McFadden (370)
Darren Mollenoyux (330)
Jamie Veal (320)
Darren Hickman (240)
Brett Milburn (220)
Brooke Tatnell (220)
Garry Brazier (195)
Daniel Pestka (190)
Ian Loudoun (175)

The final of the Parr Motorsports GF1 Chassis Sprintcar Track Championship at Premier Speedway will be held on Sunday April 8, 2012 as a part of the Easter Sprintcar Trail.


“MOLLY  & GF1 CHASSIS WIN THE SRA EUREKA SERIES”

The anticipated shootout between Darren Mollenoyux and Jamie Veal to take out the SRA’s Eureka Garages & Sheds series final at Warrnambool’s Sungold Stadium was played out on Saturday night with the series leader going into the round Mollenoyux, amassing enough points to be crowned the 2011 – 2012 Series Champion.
Strategy & luck would be the key to both drivers throughout the evening and all the cards fell Mollenoyux’s way. Driving the Parr Motorsports GF1 Chassis V77, Molly timed 7th quick from 37 cars on a lightning quick track putting him in good stead for positioning in his upcoming two heats.
GF1 Chassis dominated time trials filling three of the top seven positions and all three qualified for the Feature Event.
Molly’s heats went to plan as he stayed out of trouble and finished 2nd & 4th giving him enough points to start from 4th in the feature. Veal also qualified well and would start directly behind Molly in 6th position setting up an eagerly awaited Feature for the two series contenders.
Having an approx 10 car points buffer on Jamie going into the Feature, Molly’s strategy was simple, although winning the final round feature would be icing on the cake the main objective was to stay out of trouble, not do or try anything silly & most importantly keep the car buffer on Jamie.
The A main as expected started at a frantic pace with Molly getting a great start & sitting 3rd behind race leader Lines & McFadden. Not wanting to get involved with the leaders battle Molly went into conservative mode and allowed the charging Pestka through to join the leading pair. Not long after Veal slipped into 4th. From there Molly knew all he had to do was tag onto the back of Jamie and the Championship was his & that’s what eventuated with Molly being crowned this seasons Series Champion. A happy & relieved Mollenoyux thanked his hard working & dedicated crew for an awesome season achieving what they had set out to do from round one. “The series win hasn’t sunk in yet but I’m sure in the coming days I will get time to reflect & enjoy our achievement” exclaimed a beaming Molly. “I had to keep reminding myself during the feature not to get caught up in battles for position and that there was a bigger picture at hand”
With the pressure of the series now off Molly is looking forward to finishing the season with a strong showing over the Easter Trial. He would also like to thank the following valued sponsors who without, the successful season would not of been possible

“MOLLY” TAKES SRA SERIES POINTS LEAD

A well deserved 2nd place in Saturday night’s SRA round 10 feature at Heartland Raceway Moama, also secured Darren Mollenoyux the series points lead.
In hot temperatures and trying track conditions “Molly” was able to rack up good points in the two heats finishing 3rd & 2nd, qualifying him second overall in points going into the “top 6 time trial” where he scorched around the track to set the quickest time putting the V77 GF1 Chassis off pole for the feature.
Tyre wear for the 30 lap feature was a hot topic for all teams involved and after some discussion Darren’s compound choice & tactics for the event were decided.
The start of the feature and the following 15 laps went according to plan as Molly cruised to the lead and then set about conserving tyre wear. Series point’s leader Jamie Veal was on the move passing Milburn for 3rd then Cross for 2nd. Trying the same passing move on Molly as he did on Cross the lap earlier, Jamie rode the back of the leader sending the V35 into the fence and out of the race.
From that point on Molly’s tactics changed. Knowing the series points leader was now out of the race the main objective was to make sure the right rear tyre & car finished the feature to amass as many points as possible. Cross managed to pass the V77 and went on to win the event but in finishing 2nd Molly achieved his objective securing enough points to overtake Veal for the Series points lead.”I was probably a little too conservative during the feature seeing we have more tread left on the tyre than other teams but when leading its extremely hard to see how other guys are treating & wearing their tyres” laminated Darren. “I could have probably chased Jeremy down but after Jamie dropped out my main focus was to save the tyre and finish”
The team now heads to this Saturday nights Victorian Title at Avalon full of confidence, boyd in knowing they now lead the SRA series and have had good results there previously this season.
Darren Mollenoyux would like to thank his valued sponsors –

“MOLLY’S SUCCESSFUL SEASON OPENING SRA DEBUT”

The weekend’s road trip into S.A for the opening two rounds of the SRA Series proved to be rewarding for Darren Mollenoyux debuting in the Parr Motorsports house car. After last week’s rainout the hard charger from Warrnambool was keen to circulate some laps in his new GF1 chassis & impress his new car owner. That didn’t take long as he moved from last to 5th in his first heat and the drove brilliantly to take the win in his 2nd heat. This qualified him 2nd in points and a front row start in the opening nights feature at Tolmer Speedway Bordertown.
Unfortunately when greeting the green flag, Darren and pole sitter John Vogels come together, spearing Vogels infield with frontend damage and the V77 GF1 sent to the rear for being the primary cause of the stoppage. On the following re-start Darren went to the top of the track looking to move forward up the field when a flipping Daniel Pestka had cars scattering to avoid him, however a number of cars were unable to avoid the mayhem including Darren who had to DNF also with front end damage. The team left for the following nights show at Murray Bridge with many positives despite the disappointing end.
With an extra seven cars in the pits at Murray Bridge, Darren started where he left off winning his first heat in convincing style and a strong 4th place in his next heat from the rear was enough have him top points for the night going into the top six time trial. Local knowledge come into play during time trials as locals Ryan Jones and Luke Dillon set sizzling times as did James McFadden bumping Darren to forth starting position in the feature. Unfazed “Molly” quickly passed Jones for third position and soon found himself dicing with McFadden for second position, eventually passing the talented NQ25 driver but then  being re-passed less than a lap later. Despite some heat from Jamie Veal late race, Darren held on convincingly to take third position and in doing so elevated himself to second in the SRA points standing. “My crew gave me a fast car to drive all weekend and regardless if slick or hooky the GF1 chassis responds exactly how we want it too” commented Molly. “Hopefully we can continue this speed and more good results can follow”.
The Team now has the week off before heading to at Heartland Speedway Moama to contest round three of the SRA Series. Once again Darren and Parr Motorsports would like to thank their valued sponsors –
