Craig Geddes heads to this weekend’s Rowe Memorial Classic at Adelaide International Raceway fresh from a trip to the US and with a brand-new look.

“Our 2017 Rowe Memorial winning Cavalier has been sold to Chris Soldatos for his daughter Julia to race in the future, so this year we will be defending our title in B/A with our current championship winning dragster,” Geddes explained.

“The car is running our 335 SB2 Chevy and manual transmission and has just had a major upgrade to its look with a full wrap in the DecoGlaze Glass Splashback colours – it really looks amazing.

“Being just back from the USA where we were crewing with comp racing legend David Rampy, we have also picked up some new tips and tricks as well which we will certainly look to put to use this weekend as we chase the Rowe Memorial once again.”

Geddes is the defending Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series Competition Champion after securing his fifth Competition Championship and his fourth in a row last season. In total, he has won six Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series Championships, having also taken one out in Super Gas in 1995.  (Vinyl Wraps and Graphics) [11/22/19]

Goldenstates Competition Bike top qualifier, runner-up and DD/CB MPH record breaker (169.21mph) Phill Paton is one of more than 180 racers set to visit Adelaide this Saturday, Nov. 23, for the Rowe Memorial.

The event marks the fifth round of Australia’s 2019/2020 Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series and comes just two weeks after Perth’s Goldenstates where Paton went all the way to the Comp Bike final.

Paton has his eyes firmly fixed on the title battle and is currently second in the points standings with four rounds of eleven completed so far.

“I will be sort of sneaking up on the power I can put down, as I am wary of throwing everything at the track straight up – we will start a bit slow and sneak into it. Once the bike hooks up it should be really good, the short time is where I will really need to concentrate.”  (High Octane Photos)  [11/22/19]
