Introduction to Wigzell Racing Team Todd Wigzell began his racing career as a junior in 1994 in Dirt Karts for 2 seasons and in 1999 made his speedway debut in V8 Dirt Modifieds where he continued to race for 5 seasons in car #88 along side of brother Shane in car #77. In this time Todd was SA Highest Points Scorer for 3 successive years (2001-2003). He returned to speedway behind the wheel of an Australian Wingless Sprint (formerly NOS Sprint) in 2008 in the inaugural season of the class in South Australia and won the Southern Shootout Series and also won the Drivers’ Driver Award. In his second year, he took out 1st position in the Wingless Sprint SA Title held at Mount Gambier. Todd has taken on race number #88 which was made famous by his grandfather, Bill Wigzell, in the purple super modified “Suddenly”. In 1979 Bill Wigzell was rewarded with an Order of Australia Award from the Queen for his service to the sport of motor racing and in 2008 was inducted into the Speedway Hall of Fame for his numerous achievements during his speedway career spanning 42 years racing solos, midget speedcars and super modifieds and sprintcars. It was inevitable that Todd would eventually get into speedway racing after spending his toddler to teenage years as a passionate speedway spectator. He has been encouraged throughout his racing years not only by his grandfather Bill, but also his parents Chris & Jenny and younger siblings Shane & Kelly. He has great support also from his other crew members Frommy & Rollsy, his sponsors and the Dillon & Pitt families. |

WIGZELL TAKES SPEEDWAY CITY WIN & SERIES
Easter Sunday was the final round of the Easter Trail and also the final of the 6 round Oval Track Series. Todd was able to take the win in his first heat after starting out of position 3 and also took the win in his second heat after starting out of position 8. He kept his pole feature start in the 6 car pole shuffle and set a new 5 lap track record in the process. He was pushed all the way in the non stop 20 lap feature by second place getter Joel Chadwick also setting a new 20 lap track record.
The Speedway City win not only won Todd the 3 round Easter Trail mini series but also the overall 6 round Oval Track Series with a win in each of the 6 rounds.
A big thanks goes to all the crew who worked so hard to get Todd back on the track for the Easter rounds after his big rollover last weekend.
Wigzell Racing Team would also like to thank all the sponsors who have supported him throughout the season.
