\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe inaugural AASA Short Track Nationals season will be broadcast on Clay-Per-View, a popular speedway streaming platform. Image: Supplied<\/p>\n

Starting with the Legend Cars Nationals event at Sydney Motorsport Park\u2019s \u2018Druitt\u2019 Circuit, the event marks the first foray into circuit racing for Clay-Per-View.<\/p>\n

Complete with speedway-style heat races, last chance qualifiers, and an A-Main, the AASA Short Track Nationals events are expected to draw large entry lists.<\/p>\n

A major cash prize is on the cards for the overall winner of the Legend Cars Australia A-Main at SMP<\/a>, with high-profile names from the Australian motorsport landscape expected to be announced.<\/p>\n

Adding to the speedway aspect of the series, the Sydney event will be contested by two Australian #1 holders from major speedway disciplines.<\/p>\n

Sprintcar champion Jock Goodyer was approached by AASA competition and commercial director Marcos Ambrose about the opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a Tassie guy, I\u2019ve known Marcos [Ambrose] for a long time, and he approached me and asked, \u201cwould you be keen?\u201d said Goodyer.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I don\u2019t say no to many things. Any sort of racing I can do, I always take the opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that this is just going to be cool to get out of my comfort zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never done any circuit racing, so I\u2019ve got an open mind and no expectations. I could go there and be terrible! But I don\u2019t really care. I\u2019m just going to make some laps and have some fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to see Clay-Per-View expanding what they do. They\u2019ve been a long partner of mine and my race team, so it\u2019s cool to see them continue to grow and it\u2019s awesome to bring two different disciplines of motorsport together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no doubt that the regular speedway viewers will jump on and have a look and see how us speedway boys are going. They\u2019ll probably laugh at us too \u2013 trying to learn to drive on a circuit track.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019ll be good for both parties to bring two different audiences together and hopefully put on a good show.\u201d<\/p>\n

A field of 40-plus entries is expected for Sydney, including Super Sedans Australia #1 Joel Berkley, also making his circuit racing debut<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a fair bit different for me,\u201d said Berkley.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a few more right-handers than I\u2019m used to! But I know it\u2019s going to be a lot of fun and a bit of a challenge, which I like.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have watched the Legends racing from The Bend and it looked fantastic. Plenty of passing and it was all really close.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are plenty of people saying great things about the class and the type of racing that Marcos is helping to produce.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw Paul Morris\u2019s social post, praising the AASA and Marcos, so they\u2019re obviously doing all of the right things in their space.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that the asphalt racers follow what we do, and we follow their stuff, but to do a crossover at a unique event like this, in my opinion, is great for the sport as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know there\u2019s some talk that guys from Supercars might be racing too, and that will be an awesome thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving Clay-Per-View produce and broadcast the racing is also a good thing for the sport in general, opening up a new fan base for circuit racers and the dirt fan base.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known Jock for a long time, and we do bits of work together outside of racing, but I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever raced against each other before. So I\u2019m finally going to have an opportunity to get bragging rights on him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clay-Per-View Manager Jarred Ash is eager to help bring speedway viewers into the circuit racing world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s already been plenty of interest in the event from both the speedway and circuit racing fraternities,\u201d said Ash.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always see these two motorsport worlds intertwined, but this will be a nice little melting pot of both cultures together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe format and schedule for the event will certainly help keep the action coming thick and fast for our viewers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shorter, sharper racing format will make the racing exciting to shoot and will probably align with something similar to a speedway format.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the likes of Jock and Joel already confirmed, I know there\u2019s going to be some big interest from our current Clay-Per-View customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a wide reaching customer base across Australia and around the world, but I would say that many Australian speedway fans will be interested to see how the current Australian Sprintcar champion and current Australian Super Sedans champion will perform against some of the best circuit racing drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The inaugural AASA Short Track Nationals round will be held at Sydney Motorsport Park, headlined by Legend Cars Australia, from April 25-26.<\/p>\n
