After twenty heats, the traditional Crump inspired, six-rider, six-lap final, did not disappoint the large crowd who attended Mildura’s Olympic Park speedway on Saturday night for the annual “GT Onsite Windscreens – Karym Cleaning,” Phil Crump Solo Classic.
American Champion, Luke Becker, had gone through the meeting unbeaten on 15 points, so he took first gate selection in the final.
Local riders, Justin Sedgmen and Jaimon Lidsey each dropped 2 points, however Sedgmen took second pick of gate as he had beaten Lidsey when they met in heat twelve, while dual Australian champion, Rohan Tungate, finished next one point in arrears to take fourth selection.
The chequered flag signalled the end of the six laps with the win going to Lidsey ahead of Becker then back to Tungate, Zischke, Flint and Sedgmen.
The twenty heats had seen some drama, with the worst accident seeing SA rider, Fraser Bowes, taken for medical attention after crashing into the Airfence in turn three in the final heat.
Next meeting at Olympic Park will be round three of the Mallee Bearings 2026 Australian Solo Championship to be held on Wednesday 7th January 2026.
