Trevor Perry stars in unfamiliar car at Speedway State Titles

Speedway race secretary, Tony Kranitis, said the event was "great", with plenty of fans, great racing, and even a roll which got the blood pumping.

"We had a pretty spectacular roll in the legend cars and the guy hopped out," Kranitis said.

"All he was interested in was how many times he went over. Initially we were a bit concerned, but no-one was hurt. He actually said it was funny."

Drivers competed for both the Legend Cars NSW title and GPs NSW Title Modified Sedans Lilac City Classic on Saturday.

The former was won by Troy Bolton, while the latter, which was the main drawcard of the evening, was won by Victorian driver Trevor Perry.

To cap off an exceptional performance by Perry, he did not even use his own car in the main event.

After Perry's car was damaged earlier in the night, another driver offered his car as a replacement, which the Victorian then drove to victory.

"It just goes to show what a good driver can do with another car," Kranitis said. "If you ever think your car's not good enough and you put an ace driver in it, it makes a difference."

To add to the satisfaction of a supremely entertaining night for spectators, the Junior Sedans event was won by local driver, Harrison Granger.

Meanwhile, the Micro Sprints were won by Gavin Byron.

Kranitis was particularly pleased with the way the track held up throughout the night, which allowed for excellent racing throughout the entire event.

"The track was excellent," he said.

"It held up well, because the way the weather's been lately, it's been a handful."

This bodes well for the Speedway's next event on February 8, which will feature the Peter Craft No Bull 50 Lapper.

This, Kranitis said, is likely to be one of the most eagerly contested divisions of the year.

"I'm expecting maybe 50 plus nominations for that in one division," he said.

"It's a pretty big event. The last time they ran here, we had 39 nomination ... if you get 39 at a series round, you're bound to get a lot more for a special event like a memorial meeting."

Local driver Peter Granger is slated to take part in the 50 Lapper event, and Kranitis rates him every chance of winning.

"He's a very good driver," Kranitis said. "He's certainly in with a chance."

The Goulburn Speedway's next event will also feature Mod Lites, Junior Sedans, and GPs Bart Wilkinson Memorial.

The gates will open at 4pm for a 6pm start on February 8, with ticket prices starting at $20 for adults, $10 for pensioners and children under 14, $40 for a family of two adults and two children, and free for children under school age.
