fullockracingwa Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 2012 King of Pinjar & Gordon Rowland Memorial... Congratulations to Victoria's Cory Gathercole on taking out the 2012 Kennards Hire ''King of Pinjar'' solo event. A big crowd was on hand to watch the classy Gathercole finish his Aussie summer on a winning note against one of the best line up's going around with Perth's Cam Heeps (2nd) Denmark's Rasmus Jensen (3rd) & WA's Dan Winchester rounding out the top four. Gathrercole the 2007 WA Solo Champion had some fantastic tussles with Heeps, Smart, Jensen, Sedgmen & Winchester during the heats but the newly signed Newport Wasps rider rode a blinder in the final and was never troubled. Former Aussie U16 Champion & Birthday Boy Ryan Sedgmen rode himself back into some much needed form and confidence with a quality display and looked good for his first ride at the ''Ring" . Sedgmen gave it his all to win the B Semi holding out the hard charging veteran Frank Smart only to be told it would be re-run as the wrong riders had been put in. To Ryan's credit, to hold off Smarty around Pinjar your riding well. Ryan fought hard but second place behind Jensen in the re-run wouldn't be enough to get him to the A main final. Other riders in the 16 man line-up having a solid meeting were Brady Webb, Alan Cass, Tim Boujos, Trevor Williams and Carley Gittus. WA#1 Sheldon Gill wrapped up the prestigious Gordon Rowland Memorial in the junior 125cc division ahead of Kobee Ziedas (2nd) and come back rider Jett Muller (3rd). The junior's put on some great racing during the night and held their own on the big stage in front of a great crowd. Sheldon flew out of the gate in the final and was never headed as he added another trophy to the collection. Blake Russell, Jett Muller, Kobee Ziedas & Gaynor Scobble all battled hard all night with mixed results. It was the 30th anniversary for the Gordon Rowland Memorial for the junior solo's. Gordon was tragically killed in a racing accident and its almost 30 years to the day since his passing. It was a night full of action and controversy, some truly outstanding speedway racing from all divisions plus more falls than a ''one legged arse kicking compition'' with all riders walking away uninjured.

I'm sure Carley'd be rapt to find herself included in the 16 MAN line up. fullockracingwa! She's the daughter of former Aussie Sidecar Champ Jeff Gittus, who swung for the great Dennis Nash in back-to-back Championship victories in 88/89.
