For over forty years the Victorian Mini & Lightning Sprints Inc. under one name or another have thrilled race fans with fast-paced, miniature Sprintcar action.
With the same thrills spills as their big brother category, the Mini & Lightning Sprints brings open-wheel racing to an affordable level for many.
The class has proven to be a development ground for many stars in much bigger cars with the legendary Wayne Milburn Snr the winningest driver of them all, including thirteen state titles in our class alone.
Paul Farrell (Speedcars), Tony Moule (Sprintcars, Wingless), Brett Milburn (Dirt Mods, Sprintcars, Wingless), Domain Ramsey (Sprintcars, Speedcars, Late Models) and Warrick Taylor (Numerous classes) are some other stars the class has seen.
Moule and Brett Milburn have gone on to win Australian Championships and many others have got a start in our class before moving on.
With venues to compete at right across Victoria including from Horsham all the way over to Bairnsdale, our close friendly competitors group get to go away for a fun weekends racing frequently.
