Merbein speedway star, Justin Sedgmen, clearly won the Prestige Edging, Jason Lyons Solo Trophy at Mildura’s Olympic Park on Saturday night.
Sedgmen had a wonderful night scoring five wins from his five rides in a field which contained plenty of quality.
Sedgmen was able to win against last week’s Victorian Champion, Jaimon Lidsey, when they met in the heats and to finish equal with British star, Tom Brennan, who, with Sedgmen finished on twelve points, with Lidsey one back on eleven points.
Support events were with both Modern and Classic Sidecars which are included in the Jason Lyons Trophy on the express wish of Lyons himself as he says that “regular Mildura meetings always have Sidecars in the program”, so small sidecar fields were added for Lyons enjoyment.
SA visitor, Stephen Fowler / Jeremy Sherwood won the modern Sidecar division from AJ Pearce / Eli Bock with Simon Cohrs / Cam Diwell in third place. In the Classics, the evergreen Rob Kemp / Nick Johns, from Broken Hill were successful ahead of Chris Abriani / Rod Higgins and Rod Gebhart / Chloe Ackerley in third place.
Next meeting at Olympic Park will be the “Karym Cleaning presentation of the GT Onsite Windscreens” 2024 Phil Crump Solo Classic, which will be held on Sunday 29th December.
The Crump classic will see riders from five countries participate.
Tickets for the Crump meeting will be available at the Olympic Park gates from gate opening at 4:00pm on Sunday 29th December.
