Welcome to IBRP Kingaroy Speedway Welcome Competitors, Officials & Race Fans, On Behalf of the South Burnett Speedway Club, I’d sincerely like to welcome you to the Ian Boettcher Race Parts / Adam Holt Industries 2019 Speedway Sedans Australian National Modified Sedan Title. This will be the first time that Kingaroy has hosted the SSA National Title for Modified Sedans are we can’t wait to bring you all the action. This will be the second SSA National Title our venue has hosted after hosting the 2017 Australian Street Stock Title. We must also acknowledge the wonderful opportunity our club gets to host two national titles this weekend, with the Modlites hosting their Australian Title across the next two days. At the time of writing a staggering 99 Modified Sedan nominations and 37 Modlites have been received and the club is humbled and honoured to have so many drivers from across the country want to support the South Burnett Speedway Club and the Kingaroy venue. I personally would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has travelled such a large distance to compete in this event. When you can attract such an amazing field of drivers to an event, you know the action is going to be phenomenal all weekend. From current champions, to former state and national title winners this is going to be one heck of a weekend. Our hard working team is very passionate about speedway in particular SSA sedans and look forward to making this another huge success for everyone involved. We’d also like to sincerely thank our major sponsor Ian Boettcher Race Parts along with Adam Holt Industries for their support of this event and for continuing to back our venue. Without all of your contributions, we wouldn’t be able to put this weekend together so thank you again for your support. We’d like to also thank Speedway Sedan Australia for backing us and giving us the opportunity to host this event as it has been something our club has aspired to for many years. If it is your first time here, welcome to Kingaroy and please enjoy your stay. If you need to know anything or have query or concern, please ask any of the hard working club volunteers that we have, as we are very willing to assist where we can.

The National Modified Sedan Title is always a highlight of the Speedway Sedans Australia calendar, providing some of the best racing the Country has to offer, as was highly evident at last year’s National Title, and if we get a finish anything like that again, who knows what might happen. Congratulations to everyone here at the IBRP Kingaroy Speedway who will be hosting one of the best fields ever assembled for a National Modified Sedan Title. With all events a lot of work goes into them, with a National Title, the work load is much greater as the host venue tries to make the National Title the best it can be. Thankyou to the hard working Committee who have been working tirelessly on this title since the initial announcement eighteen months ago. At close of nominations there were 99 entries, with the field including a staggering 14 drivers who have won a National Title, while 24 drivers in the field that have won over 60 titles between them. I would like to pay tribute to each and every driver who is taking part in the title, whether you live here in Kingaroy, or whether you have travelled from Margaret River in the West, or from Hobart in Tasmania, thankyou for making the effort to take part in this event, which promises to be one hell of a race meeting. Current National Champion, Cam Waters heads the line-up, and we are so lucky to someone like Cam as our National Champion. Last years National Title, will be one to be forgotten in quite a while, with a great event from beginning to end, and the racing was first class, and there is no doubt it will be elbows up and out here at the Showgrounds. We continue to break new ground with this Title, it not only is Live Streamed but will also have the Giant Screen for the fans here at the venue. Speedway Sedans Australia would also like to acknowledge the fans, who week in week out, support Sedan racing around the Country. Without your support, events like this would not be possible.
