An extra long ride in memory of Peter Craft

With gates opening at 2pm and races beginning at 4pm, the Peter Craft No Bull 86 lap showdown will not disappoint.

It is Australia's biggest paying wingless sprint event for the year and will see the current Australian champion in action as well as all the heavy hitters from NSW and some very strong interstate drivers.

Around 50 cars will arrive, but only 20 will qualify for the main race. Sixteen go directly through while the remaining four will have to finish in the top two of the qualifying races.

Co-organiser Peter Granger said the race was named after one of the founding members of the NSW Wingless Sprint association Peter Craft.

"He passed away due to an illness a few years ago," Granger said.

"He didn't drive a car, but he was a committee member.

"He played a vital role in growing the sport across the country tracks.

"He was also always willing to help people and he was a calming influence for people."

Mr Granger said normally 30 laps would be raced, but because it was a memorial race and Craft's race number was 86, they made it an 86 lap race.

All 20 competitors of the final and biggest race will win prize money, including $3000 for the winner and $1500 for the runners up.

There is also prize money up for grabs depending on where competitors finish in each lap.

Sponsors will also give out prize money and vouchers at different stages of the races.
