Millgrove’s Simpson Sisters Bree and Tamika were on the speedway in Gympie, Queensland recently for the Speedway Sedans Australia Junior Sedan Queensland Title.
Coming off the back of the South Australian title, where Bree finished second and Tamika was contemplating a break on the sideline after a collision with the wall, it was a contrasting approach for both.
Both of them ended up taking the title after Tamika recovered quickly.
Bree was in Heat One, thankfully starting off the back in 10th position. She got a great start, getting up to 4th on the first lap, then into 3rd after a few more laps. She looked comfortable on the track and was on the tail of the front cars, Bree found a great line through lapped cars and took off into the lead taking the win.
Tamika was out in Heat Three, feeling extremely nervous but after some words of encouragement from Bree she was set to hit the track, starting 8th. She quickly adapted to the track, making her way up to 3rd and holding her ground all the way to the white flag just losing one position on the line and finishing 4th.
Heat Five Tamika started 5th and stayed there the whole race finishing 5th behind some very fast cars.
Heat Seven Bree started 3rd and found herself in 2nd very quickly trying to chase down the leader while defending her position, she finished over the line in 2nd but got put back 2 positions due to making a little bit of contact.
Heat Eleven, Bree was starting outside pole and took off into the lead knowing she had very fast cars hot on her tail but managed to take the win.
Heat Twelve Tamika started 3rd and took off into the lead, after a single file restart she dropped back one spot finishing 2nd with a big smile on her face.
Now it was time for the A-main with Bree starting on the front row in 2nd and Tamika 15th. After being presented on the track, they were buckled in ready for the green. As the flag dropped Bree tried to stick with the leader but struggled with the hairpin exit, dropping back to 6th. Tamika managed to miss the carnage on the track but had dropped back to 17th, she fought hard and came away finishing 14th. Bree managed to come away with 5th on the last lap.
