s awaiting yet another tilt at the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic.
/Highline-Magazine
Editorial
Welcome to edition 20 of Highline magazine. This issue is dedicated purely to Aussie Titles and the South West Conveyancing Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic. And, it’s a real pictorial issue, with lots of big photos and some descriptive captions and not much else. Take the time to have a good look and enjoy. It’s about time that one of our senior drivers came out and stated what Highline has been saying for some time (refer our feature story in edition 9), that traction control is being used, illegally, in Sprintcar racing. We were quietly surprised while watching night 2 of the City of Mt Gambier Australian Sprintcar Championship when Kerry Madsen during a heat winners interview stated while the Sprintcar Control Council of Australia were taking a fuel sample from his tail tank, that the SCCA “Should be testing for TC.” Kerry was of course referring to Traction Control (TC). Obviously he believed that other competitors at the event were running traction control and getting the unfair advantage that it

gives, especially on slick tracks. And with the weather being in the high 30’s to low 40’s throughout the event, the track was always going to go slick. By the way, the fuel testing was looking for amounts of nitro-methane being mixed with the methanol for a performance advantage. This is another area of cheating that has been allegedly going on in the USA, especially in the World of Outlaws series and is possibly happening here also. On the subject of Kerry Madsen, putting aside the issue of nationality, congratulations on both he and his team for winning his third straight Australian Championship, which makes it four in total. The SCCA accepted his nomination to run in the event and that is all there is to it and Kerry will, as always, wear the number proudly. And once again the Aussie title technically goes overseas. When is the SCCA going to wake up and allow Americans into the national title event?
result of the 46th South West Conveyancing Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic was far from expected with local racer Corey McCullagh taking the biggest win of his career. You could say that being a local gave him home track advantage but we all know that would be bullshit. The locals run here no more often than most interstaters and McCullagh beat home a bunch of more highly rated locals and interstaters in better equipment including a host of top line Americans as well. Rusty Hickmans Classic was a breakout event for the driver of the family’s pristine V40. Rusty, and the crew put on a stellar weekend despite having to rebuild the car twice through no fault of his own and then only narrowly missing a berth in the main event – but then again former champion Jamie Veal also missed the cut for the 2nd time since winning the event.
Rusty backed up his Classic results with a strong but unlucky run While the outcome of the Aussie just a week later in the Aussie title title was pretty much as expected, and then broke through for his except for Matt Egels’ podium in first 410 feature win at Wangathe Downing Brothers entry, the ratta in a round of the ultra-tough
/Highline-Magazine
SRA series. Two weeks later he was in victory lane again winning the SRA round at Moama making it 2 wins from the last 3 rounds. Hickman may well be on the way to winning the prestigious Eureka Series while still a teenager. A lot has been said of Jamie Veal’s lack of success in the Krikke Motorsport entry and if rumours are correct the Warrnambool local is feeling the pressure as witnessed by his behaviour when things weren’t going right such as punching the steering wheel then jumping from his car while others are still circulating the track to abuse another driver who’d spun and stalled only to be clipped by Veal. For the second time since winning the event, Veal failed to qualify directly into the big dance and only made the race after the extreme bad luck of qualifier Aiden Hall and then a lap one wreck that allowed Veal to make the start as 2nd reserve. However, Veal was one of the early retirees after just 8 laps of the race. There was at least 1 car in the field that really shouldn’t have been there due to a lack of speed. Chad Ely got some serious elevation after he and Ben Atkinson both 6

tangled and flipped down the back straight. Both were able to effect repairs and continue racing. Once again, the classic had a huge field in excess of 100 cars with a great mix of Aussies and Americans and eager rookies, some of whom found out the hard way that Warrnambool can bite – hard.
Speedway Sedans Australia (SSA) needs to seriously look at its protocol’s for National championships. The Australian Street Stock Title was run on a track that throughout the event was widely reported as being below standard with almost every competitor suffering some form of mechanical breakage during the event due to the track condition. As if to emphasise this point – only 3, yes THREE cars completed the final and one of those was two laps down. Then absurdly, the SSA presented the top five positions despite 4th and 5th place not even completing the race. WTF!! No disrespect to any of the 100 plus competitors who poured their heart, soul and money into the event only to dished up a sub-standard track and who deserved so much more.
Congratulations to Corey McCullagh on winning the Grand Annual Classic and all the latest Aussie Champions: Kaidon Brown – Speedcars, Anthony Beare – Street Stocks, Darren Kane – Late Models, Kerry Madsen – Sprintcars, Joel Chadwick – Wingless and Jeremy Moore – AMCA Nationals..
