Among the field is last weekend’s winner from down the road at Wahgunyah.
Peter Nicola will be up against Mick Nicola senior and junior, Lachlan Onley the current NSW champion, two-time Australian champion Darren Kane from Queensland and Callum Harper from Tasmania, who is a two-time Tasmanian champion.
Other drivers among the field that are likely to be in among the front of the field include Lucas Roberts and Tony Barklimore.
The Leeton lads are already predicting the one lap record won’t just be broken, but that it will be smashed.
Leeton Motor Sports Club committee member Danny Harrison was looking forward to the event under lights.
“With the money we have thrown up, we are getting the best drivers from around the country,” he said.
“I cannot wait to see the likes of Darren Kane take on our track. It’s the fastest you will go anywhere in Australian speedway.”
The Production Sedan Graham Bourke Memorial has attracted Rodney Anderson, the Hutchinson lads from Dubbo, Wes Barnes also from Dubbo, a number of Leeton drivers and Australia’s number two and three in Leeton’s Wayne Bourke and Paul Whyte.
The event is honouring Bourke’s father, who passed away this year and, with “Bourkey” having his best ever season, he will be in huge form and a sentimental favourite for the win.
The Goulburn Oven’s Sedan Association Victorian title also shares top billing with Mick Pettit, Mark Gordon and Mitch Watts leading the charge for Leeton.
They will be up against a number of drivers registered with the Corowa Club, who are coming to Brobenah Speedway from around Corowa and Albury.
Defending champion Wayne Williams, inform drivers Ross Maclean, Dave Walton, Danny McCarten and Thomas Bowers are all drivers to keep an eye on Saturday night.
One of them is set to become the Victorian champion.
Sports Sedans and Wilby Park Sedans are other divisions competing.
Gates open at 3pm and racing will begin from 4pm.
Entry is $25 per adult or $60 a family ticket.
Aged/disabled pensioners will be $15 per person.
Children under the age of 14 are free.
