Anew twist on a traditional favourite has been announced, with SA VIC Sprintweek dates revealed.

With World Series Sprintcars being on hiatus for 2022/23, the promoters and clubs at Murray Bridge Speedway, Borderline Speedway, Avalon Raceway and Premier Speedway Warrnambool will host the events.

Conducted between December 26, 2022 and January 1, 2023 the traditional Christmas-New Year criss-cross from SA to Victoria is back.

Avalon Raceway’s Jeff Drew said details of prize-money payouts would soon be released, while drivers and teams can indicate their interest in registering for all four nights of Sprintweek soon.

“We understand that with World Series Sprintcars being on a current hiatus it’s important for teams, fans and tracks that we maintain that tradition and interest in racing between Boxing Day and January 1 at our venues,” Drew said.

“We are working on the prize-money incentives for the four rounds and the Sprintweek as a whole right now, as well as how we present the show for the fans and the teams.”

Borderline Speedway’s Cary Jennings is looking forward to hosting the competition.

“We know that Speedweek in the past has become a staple diet of fans and teams with their Christmas holiday travel plans,” he said.

“It’s vital that we keep that tradition rolling in the absence of World Series currently.

“We are looking at revitalising the concept and re-branding it but at the same time still respecting the proud history that has made it so popular.”
