JUST one week out from Father’s Day, six sets of fathers will race their sons at Sydney’s Oran Park Raceway this weekend, aiming for top spot in round seven of the Shannons Nationals.

Set to spark plenty of discussion over Father’s Day lunch the following Sunday, the family feuds will add extra spice to the on-track competition, with more than 170 competitors doing battle across six categories.

Sydney-based rising star George Miedecke will race his father - accomplished racer Andrew Miedecke - on a racetrack for the first time, in the Australian Manufacturers Championship for Production Cars.

George, 22, currently holds a share of the series lead, and a race win at Phillip Island in June aboard his Hyundai Tiburon has helped the Korean marque take the lead of the manufacturer’s standings.

Andrew was part of George’s crew that weekend, but this time he’ll be racing a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX in the class-based championship, which features handicap, reverse-grid races.

“I’m looking forward to racing against Dad,” George Miedecke, who is also a front-runner in the V8 Ute Series, said.

“We’ve both done Targa and some go-karting, but this will be the first time we’ve actually raced against each other on a circuit, it should be a lot of fun.

“The Phillip Island weekend couldn’t have gone much better; hopefully we can have another strong run and maintain our positions in the drivers and manufacturers standings.”

Enjoying a stellar year, John and Ben Falk lead their respective classes of the Tankworld Australian Supertruck Nationals.

John, a former Supertruck regular who returned to the series this year, leads the outright standings with two rounds remaining, while teenager Ben holds the upper-hand over his father in the Co-Drivers points.

“I really enjoy racing against Ben,” John said.

“We operate as a family team when we go to a race meeting, which is what motorsport is all about.
