Broadford Sprints

Broadford has an interesting history, it’s actually a motorcycle track which was first officially opened in 1975 by then Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser, and before that it was formally known as Reg Hunt Park.

It’s a tight and technical track with a few blind corners and lots of undulating straights and corners to make the 2.14 kilometre circuit a lot of fun.

The track is located past Wallan and Kilmore so whilst Melbourne was under a cloud and very grey, Broadford was perfectly sunny and 22 degrees, ideal conditions for us.

It was a good turn out with 11 different categories and everyone keen to earn points as it was only the second track day of 2023.

The usual suspects set the pace with Stefan Wojciechowski, James Moyle, Peter Jordan, Peter Fitzgerald and Daniel Reynolds who set the fastest time of the day in his new 991.1 Cup Car with a time of sub 1 minute! (.59.4492) on old tyres, well done Daniel. Daniel also had the best two spins of the day.

A Class had the usual top 4 finishers with Peter Jordan fastest, followed by Richard Catchlove, Bill Toohey and Guy Lavopierre.

B Class saw Andrew Lipman, Dennis O’Keefe and Carlo Fasolino round out the top 3 while GT1 Class had Stefan fastest followed by Adam Safford and Anthony Bulloch.

GT2 Class saw David Curtis come first followed by Will Horton and Peter Grant.

GT3 Class had James Moyle in first followed by Richard Thompson and then Jeremy Fredersdorff flying in his Cayman GTS to beat quit a few of the older GT3’s.

The Modified 0 class was of course Fitzy first and then Nathan Goldsworthy and Nigel Skinner and Greg Muller came first in Modified 1 Class

Open Class had Daniel Reynolds in first with the best time of the day followed by Andrew Smith and Sally Anne Hains.

Overall it was a fantastic day, it was actually my first trip to Broadford and given the proximity to Melbourne combined with the fun tight twisty technical track ensure I’ll definitely be back next time to do it all over again!
