LOCALS LINE UP FOR HUNTER AS KUMHO V8 SERIES HEADS TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA
The teenager leads a 20-car entry list for this weekends South Australian round.
No less than five local drivers all keen to score strong results on their home circuit highlight the confirmed list of entrants.
Last years Mallala round winner Chris Smerdon needs to claw ground back after a crash left him scoreless in round one while Tanunda pilot Michael Bartsch also has good form on the board and was on the podium when the series raced at Mallala in May last season.
Other South Australian drivers include Bruce Heinrich (making his first Kumho Series start of the season) Shawn Jamieson (ex-Tean Dynamik Commodore) and Ian Yeing driving an ex-Greg Murphy Kmart Commodore.
Private practice will be held on Friday before on-track action proper commences on Saturday with practice qualifying and Race 1 at 3.20pm.
The final two races will be on Sunday at 10.00am and 1.20pm respectively with live streaming coverage on www.itvlive.com.au
The Kumho Tyres Australian V8 Touring Car Series is run for ex-V8 Supercar Commodores and Falcons and is a seven-round series held on the Shannons Nationals calendar.
