It was a West Australian power show at Timmis Speedway Mildura on Saturday night when young-gun Dene McAllan lead home ‘Big Rev’ Neville Lance and Sydney’s Mark Cooper in an unforgettable 30 lap Speedcar Super Series A Main.

McAllan and the W21 GKR Transport team were a shining light on the night; slipping under the 15 second mark to claim The Speedway Shop quick time award before smashing the competition in the shuffle to claim pole position for the main event. Mark Brown came out fighting from position two on the grid, followed by South Australia’s Luke Dillon, Lance, Cooper, Troy Jenkins, Ben Wiese, Harley Bishop, Tony Abson, Nathan Smee, Brett Morris, Peter Ghent Jnr, Matt Young, Colin Brooks, Adam Layton, David Patterson, Lee Dillon, Peter Bourke and Richard Emmerson.

At the drop of the green McAllan gained the lead, Mark Brown dropping down low on the regarded surface and riding the West Aussie’s tail. Behind them Dillon, Lance, round one winner Troy Jenkins and Cooper battled through the first lap to stamp their name into the front running positions; Cooper slipping under Jenkins through one and two to capture 5th in an impressive display of wheel to wheel racing, before challenging Lance for 4th a lap later.

As McAllan and Brown continued to move precious inches ahead of the field, Neville Lance entered a furious bout with Luke Dillon over 3rd. The duo fought side by side until contact saw the high running Dillon head towards the wall; the machine expertly reigned in before impact but allowing Lance, Cooper, Jenkins, Wiese and Smee to scream by, relegating the round one podium placer back to 8th in one foul swoop! Laps later Sydney’s Matt Young came unstuck on turn two, bringing on the yellows.

On the fast paced restart with 23 laps left on the board, McAllan lead away from Brown, Lance, Cooper, Jenkins, Wiese, Smee, Dillon, Morris and Bishop; Neville Lance instantly putting the heat on Brown for the position, while Cooper presented the crowd with a series of impressive wheel stands. Wiese had moved up a spot only to slow allowing Smee and Jenkins through.

Hitting lapped traffic down the front straight, McAllan took to the highline into turn 1, Brown shot to the low line to take the lead, coming unstuck and headed towards the infield losing a number a crucial positions before the reds were pulled for a rolling Colin Brooks who was sucked into the wall between turns 3 and 4.

With the cars reforming with 15 laps to go, Abson retired from the race as McAllan, Brown, and Lance led the field to the green. Taking advantage of the restart, Lance swept under the high running Brown for a wheel to wheel race out of turn 2, only to see Brown tag the wall on the back straight allowing Lance to slip into second before the yellow was pulled for a spun Wiese on turn 4. Unable to avoid Wiese, Jenkins front end took the brunt of the impact forcing his retirement from the race. Luke Dillon; who also turned around in turn 4, and Wiese both restarted rear of field.

Green again, the top four were evenly spaced, with McAllan gaining a half corner lead on his closest challenger Brown. Morris slipped under Bishop claiming 6th position until Wiese flipped the N70 machine in turn 2 with 13 laps remaining.

On the restart, McAllan led from Brown, Lance, Cooper, Smee, Bishop, Morris, Ghent, Bourke, Layton, Patterson, Young, Lee Dillon, Luke Dillon and Emmerson. Brown jumped to the low line under McAllan in turns 3 and 4 but couldn't hold the line before coming under attack from Lance who captured second down the back straight with 10 laps to go. Lance then set his sights on his fellow West Aussie grabbing the lead before McAllan shot back for another Speedcar showdown between the leaders. The battle was halted after Victorian's Ghent Jnr and Bishop made contact in turn 2 with 9 laps remaining; the duo sent rear of field for the restart.

As the increasingly slick track played set-up games with the crew chiefs in the pits, the pressure was on at the restart with Lance, Brown, Cooper, Smee and Morris all looking to push forward to take on McAllan for the win. Morris was the first mover, slipping under a wide running Smee down the main straight with 7 laps left on the board. Brown was the next victim from the slick surface, running wide through 1 and 2 allowing Cooper to snatch 3rd and seal his podium placing.

Upfront, the West Aussie onslaught continued as McAllan and Lance battled for the lead running side by side over the remaining laps; McAllan the elated victor after another grueling Speedcar Super Series A Main event.
