With both the Australian and Victorian AMCA National Titles to his name this season, Jeremy Moore added yet another title to his resume – this time it was last Saturday night’s NSW Title at Sydney’s Valvoline Raceway.
Moore, who is from Kybybolite in the south-east of South Australia, entered the feature race as the highest point scorer following a win, a second and a third placing from his three heat races, survived a frantic opening lap which saw a few of his rivals eliminated as the result of a crash.
After leading away at the restart, Moore found himself back in second place, losing the spot to defending NSW Title holder Matt Hardy. Moore then played the patience game and with 10 laps remaining, made the move back into the lead. He then led the remaining laps to record an exciting win as the margin of victory was just 0.2 of a second.

It’s been a long time coming, but finally Dean Heseltine over the weekend at Mildura’s Timmis Speedway broke through for his maiden major AMCA Nationals title win in the South Australian Title.
Regarded as one of Victoria’s leading drivers in recent seasons, Heseltine, aboard his Vic # 93 Hair By Denae-backed Panther car, proved too good against a hot South Australian Title field.
Despite their best efforts, Matt Hardy (Qld) and Andrew Ryder (Tas) were unable to pip Heseltine and had to settle for the minor positions on the podium in second and third place respectively.

After a 12-month stint on the sidelines, AMCA Nationals racer Nathan Durston found himself back in the winner’s circle at Brisbane’s Archerfield Speedway last Saturday night, breaking through to claim his first feature-race win since returning to the track.
While he’s visited the podium on several occasions throughout the 2017-18 season in the minor positions, Durston hadn’t quite been able to reach the top step while attempting to dial in his 350 Chev powered Qld # 97 Palm Beach Motors / McKinnell Motorsports supported Kempy car; however, last Saturday night’s outing proved that his car is now well and truly capable of winning.
