CHAMPIONSHIP DECIDER

This weekend (6th/7th SEP) is the final round of the 2003 Victorian Championships and will be held down at the very fast seaside circuit at Phillip Island.

The Sports Sedan championship has been a cracker all year and will be decided on the weekend. Five competitors have the chance to be this years champion! With 100 points on offer the racing will as fast and furious.
The first two race’s of the weekend score 20 points for the win, 19 for second, 18 for third, and so on down to 1 point of twenth.

The main race on Sunday arvo is scored like this, 40 points for a win, 39 for second, 38 for third, and so on back to 1 point for finishing in fortieth place. A bonus 20 points is up for grabs if you can pull of a trifica of wins over the weekend!
So as you can see “it’s not over to the fat lady sings”

So who will be this years champion?

Rodney WOODS [ 235 points ] missed the first round at Calder but since then has driven well to score points, and is leading by 1 point as we go into this weekend. Don’t forget that Rodney won the last round, and that was here at Phillip Island! He must start favorite.

Michael ROBINSON [ 234 points ] is the sentimental favorite, winning back in 2000, and going so close last year. He has driven at his best all year and only needs a small amount of luck to overhaul the 1 point difference.

Stephen CRAIG [ 180 points ] will find it hard to keep up with the v8s at the Island in his rotary Gemini, but with many years of racing up his sleeve , he knows that strange things can and do happen!

Rod SMITH [ 180 points ] is not likely to front up after braking an engine, and Terry HAMILTON [ 178 POINTS ] is the only other, if only slim chance at wining the title.

Any one of the above plus Barry CASSIDY are in the race for second place and as many as nine blokes have a shot at third!
It’s great that with just one round to go that so many teams have a chance of winning or doing well in the best Championship in the country.

If you need to see SPORTS SEDAN racing at its closest and best, get to Phillip Island this weekend, you won’t be disappointed.
