The night’s racing was clean and fast and the final could have been the final for the Aussie title. Mark Plaisted / Sam Harrison had some bad luck in their third heat when they destroyed a gear box and prevented them from seeing if they could go through the meeting with a clean sweep. Andrew O’Rourke /Jason Mayes blew a motor which put them out for the rest of the night also.

The O’Brien brothers haven’t lost their touch after coming out of retirement, though Glenn did say that they were on Tony Cox’s bike and it isn’t quite as fast as they would have liked. They are going back to Perth to build a new one of their own and come back next year in full force.

Darrin Treloar/Justin Plaisted dominated all night, dropping their only point to Qld pair Scott Christopher/Trent Koppe, while local duo, Byren Gates/Mick O’Loughlin were right up there and took second place. This should give them a berth in the Aussie Title in Newcastle at Easter as the highest ranked Victorian riders.

Final Placings for the Sidecar Shootout were:

1. Byren Gates – Mick O’Loughlin
2. Warren Monson – Deven Gates
3. Jason Bradshaw – Simon Cohrs
4. Andrew O’Rourke – Jason Mayes

Saturday night’s Mildura Speedway Masters saw a great all round performance from all participants, with Justin Sedgmen taking the major honours in the Solos with Jason Bradshaw and Simon Cohrs taking the chocolates in the Sidecar division. Troy Mills was the winner of the Quads Masters final from Lachy Mannes and Nathan Mills.

Byren Gates and Mick O’Loughlin dominated the Sidecar heats of the Masters, recording four great wins, but were always under challenge from the Bradshaw / Cohrs team and Ouyen’s Munro brothers, Scott and Kane, who have now garaged the Header and gone to the faster and more powerful option. The Munro’s riding has improved greatly and now that plenty of track time can be assured with the wheat harvest done, we are likely to see further improvement, as they are now mixing it with the top Mildura riders.
