RACE REPORT: SUMMIT RACING QLD CHAMPS
WINNERS
SUMMIT RACING QLD CHAMPS
AWARDED
After three rounds of racing, the 2017 Summit Racing
Queensland Championship winners were awarded
following the final round of competition at Ironbark
Raceway (Roma) on Saturday November 4.
Previously, the series had visited Palmyra Dragway (July 1 and
2) and Benaraby Raceway (September 3), employing a Chicago
Shootout style of racing to the delight of racers and spectators.
A special Copper ANDRA Xmas Tree was introduced for the
championship winners of the Summit Racing Queensland
Championship, with these new awards handed out for the very
first time at the weekend.
Hoisting these prestigious trophies in Roma were title winners
Geoff Everett (Modified – Palmyra), Anthony Spataro (Outlaws
– Palmyra), Peter Johnson (Modified Bike – Palmyra), Harrison
Thwaite (Junior Dragster – Benaraby), Gavin List (Super Sedan
– Benaraby), Christopher Reick (Street – Palmyra), Ross Bryant
(Super Gas – Palmyra) and Richard Dawe (Super Street –
Benaraby).
Championship runners-up Tony Littlewood (Modified – Roma),
Dave Carney (Outlaws – Roma), Ross Bryant (Modified Bike –
Palmyra), Jake Riccards (Junior Dragster – Palmyra), Gary Hunt
(Super Sedan – Benaraby), Gary Brett (Street – Palmyra), Tom
Parry (Super Gas – Benaraby) and Brett Keirnan (Super Street –
Benaraby) were awarded plaques for their efforts.
When it came to race-day accolades, many of the championship
winners ended their pursuit of the title in the best way possible
– by taking victory at Ironbark Raceway. Johnson, Everett,
Thwaite, List and Bryant will all need to find extra space on
the mantle as they claimed both the event and title win on
Saturday evening. Joining them in the event’s winners’ circle
were Rodney Hansen (Outlaws), Ronald Shaw (Street) and Craig
McVie (Super Street).
For Everett, it is his first ANDRA Xmas Tree.
