Not only has Troy won Round 1 of the Speedcar Super Series, the $2000 cash prize, the admiration of speedway fans in Murray Bridge and the respect from his fellow drivers; he has also adopted the rightly named Feature Winner ‘Giant Cheque’! Yes, at the grand size of 1200mm x 450mm, Giant Cheque has become the number 1 must-have on the national SSS and is set to go “straight to the pool room” with any fortunate winner lucky enough to escort ‘Giant Cheque’ home.

A proud part of the Speedcar Super Series, Giant Cheque made the expedition from sunny Sydney to magnificent Murray Bridge with class. Despite a lengthy debate with a flight attendant on downgrading him to baggage and possible terrorism action at the departure gate; Giant Cheque travelled with style in the overhead luggage compartment aboard an early morning Qantas flight. With just under two hours to contemplate his future home, Giant Cheque sat back and relaxed knowing too well it would be that of a worthy feature winner!

On arrival in Adelaide, Giant Cheque braved the cold and headed out to his rental car where he was instantly accosted for photos with his Hertz Rental fans before his short trip to Murray Bridge as the rain came down. (Murray Bridge promotions worked as the Speedcar Super Series race meeting was recognised from recent newspaper articles!).

But as everything Giant Cheque touches turns to $2,000 prize money, the sun was soon shining & Giant Cheque and his SSS escorts were able to take in the sights and happenings of Murray Bridge, including the lookout from one side of the Murray River to the Speedway.

Returning to the Riverview Speedway after lunch, Giant Cheque and his three mates 1st, 2nd and 3rd from the Trophy family, waited out the cold in the media box before heading to the infield to watch the spectacular show unfold.

Only hours later, Giant Cheque was handed over to his new owner before a chilly Murray Bridge crowd. Giant Cheque 2 is now under lock and key awaiting Round 2 at Timmis Speedway Mildura on Nov 11th.
