Valvoline Raceway management announced on Facebook a few days ago that there are already 71 entries for the Scott Darly Challenge next Friday & Saturday in Sydney, Australia. That has to be one of the biggest fields of sprint carts ever at the Sydney track.
US Drivers include:
Jac Haudenschild, Brad Sweet, Tim Kaeding, Kyle Hirst, Jason Sides, Danny Holtgraver & Davey Heskin
Australian Drivers include:
Kerry Madsen, Ian Madsen, Brooke Tatnell, Jamie Veal, James McFadden, Steven Lines, Robbie Farr, Australian Champion David Murcott and last year's winner Trevor Green.
There will of course be a strong contingent of Parramatta's regular drivers including Max Dumesny, Ben Atkinson, James Thompson, Grant Tunks and Sammy Walsh.
I am currently freezing in the midwest of the US. However, I plan to be at VR both nights of the Challenge. Can't wait !

More great news!
VR just announced on their FB page that Sheldon Haudenschild picked up a ride for this weekend's Scott Darley Challenge with local team Mick (father) and Jimmy (son) Matchett. Sheldon will drive Mick's Maxim this weekend.
How cool is that ! We will have the opportunity to see both Jac and Sheldon race this weekend.
The entry list is now up to 78 teams for the race. I am really looking forward to this weekend & right now the weather looks perfect with high temperatures of 28 C (82 F) on Friday and 31 C (88 F) on Saturday.
