Hi Drivers/Crews & Fans,
DJ Raw the 2011 Lightning Sprints Sydney Speedway Track Champion and cousin of Multiple Knoxville Raceway Track Champion Skip Jackson will be at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday July 2nd. At the moment there is one thing missing... The talented driver hasn't been fortunate enough to find a drive for the night!
In Australia this past season, the NSW Club commenced International Lightning Sprint racing with New Zealand which has created an increase in exposure for the division. 2 Australian drivers raced in New Zealand and 2 New Zealand drivers came over to Australia for our blue ribbon events.
Over the past few weeks I have been in contact with Dan Hillberg who has been a fantastic help in trying to organise USA VS AUS racing for this season and beyond. In Australia, we are trying to establish with the California Lightning Sprints a racing relationship which will enable the opportunity for drivers to race in each other's countries. We have experienced success this season where the international drivers pay for their own flight, race in a competitive car and the great opportunity is then returned.
As a result of the fantastic success surrounding the introduction of the California Lightning Sprints specifications to the NSW rule book in 2010/2011, it has enabled more drivers in Australia to buy race equipment easily and cost effectively from the States (see www.nswlightningsprints.com for more details). If International racing were to commence between both countries, it would help Lightning Sprint teams in California to sell their parts/cars to Australians.
If you are interested to help kick start USA VS AUS and can provide a car for the July 2nd show at PAS, please let myself or Dan know over the coming days. This is a great opportunity to expand the interest in Lightning Sprint racing.
