For all speedway fans, the off season is an agonising time. Some kill it by going to the States to watch the racing, maybe crew or even race themselves. Sammy Walsh took a trip over to crew and has recently returned ready and raring to go, with a brand new car, sitting awaiting him to fire her up and get some business done on the Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway clay.

The 2005/2006 Coca Cola Sprintcar Track Championship Rookie of the Year has a brand spanking new Cool Chassis this season and is hoping to improve on his impressive 11th place of last season.

The #92 EWT machine is powered by a 410ci Garrett motor, and run by the experienced Peter Johnston who also gave Robbie Farr a helping hand.

“I am definitely looking forward to this season! I was fortunate enough to go to the States and crew but I can’t wait to fire up my own car and race again.”

The Coca Cola Sprintcar Track Championship will be held over 22 Rounds this Summer, commencing Saturday, September 30 with the prestigious Spring Nationals to kick off the new season. Walsh will be battling 56 of his fellow drivers to take out the win and looks forward to racing against every single one of them.

Regardless of results, the Gasman is just out there to have a good time and put on an entertaining show for the fans and never fails in doing that!
