For the first time in several seasons, SA Wingless Sprints has announced their intention to contest a State Series, with early indications suggesting it will be conducted over four rounds at four different venues across South Australia.

The series is creating interest across the state, with current wingless sprint racer William Caruso committing to the overall series naming rights sponsor through his business Ti Bills Race Parts, in addition to a number of round sponsors also coming on board.

These round sponsors include Cleanaway for Round 2 in Mount Gambier, with the Waikerie event being supported by First National Real Estate in Gawler, while the Renmark Paringa Council will get behind the grand final.

The Whyalla round sponsor is yet to be announced.

With the wingless sprint competitor numbers in South Australia at unprecedented levels this season, the on-track action will provide great entertainment along with exposure for the club and sponsors involved.

The proposed series dates will see the series kick off on November 12 at the Whyalla Speedway, the same venue that will host the South Australian Championship in March, 2023.

The series will then move to the Borderline Speedway at Mount Gambier on December 10.

After a break, the series will then focus on the Riverland with Round 3 at Waikerie’s Sunline Speedway on February 11, with the final round on Easter Saturday at the Riverland Speedway in Renmark.

Pronto United Finance, Obst Customs and Classics and Chris’s Auto Air and Mechanical have generously committed to boosting the end-of-series prize pool.

The format of each round of the SA Wingless Sprints State Series starts with hot laps and time trials, which is an element rarely utilised for wingless sprints.

Each driver will receive four timed laps for time trials with the field split into heat race groups with a maximum of six cars on track at once.

The overall quick time from all the combined groups will also receive a $100 Ti Bills Race Parts voucher.

For the opening round the drivers will be randomly assigned into heat groups, but for rounds 2 to 4, the heat groups are seeded based on series points for those drivers who are present on the night.

Time trial points will be allocated with the fastest driver in each heat group receiving 22 points, with the remaining drivers collecting the standard heat point’s breakdown.

Each driver will then contest two heat races, with each race being 10 laps in duration with a maximum of 12 cars per heat.

The opening round of heats will be fastest to the front based on the results from qualifying with round two seeing the fastest drivers sent to the back (inverted), complete with a row swap.

Depending on the car count, three Main events are scheduled for each round, with a C Main (if required), over a distance of 12-laps, where the top two drivers to transfer to the back of the B Main.

The last chance B Main will be decided over 15-laps, with four competitors to transfer into the 30-lap A Main which will be contested by a maximum of 20 cars.
