Dubbed 'Super Sid' for his tenacious qualities racing midgets, Sid Whittaker is yet another driver to nominate and sign up for this years Speedcar Super Series. You can well understand why they dubbed him 'Super Sid' after watching his assault on last years Australian title in Victoria when, crashing and rolling over in his heat ending his chance to qualify directly into the feature, he came from the b-main as a reserve driver. A major crash on lap one of the championship saw a complete restart allowing the two reserves in with Sid off the rear of the field, and by race end, there was 'Super Sid' with a third place trophy held high against the best in the country and stars from America standing alongside hero and Grand Marshall Sir Jack Brabham. It don't get any better than that! A fourth placed finish in the South Australian Speedcar Championship and a top ten finish in the Super Series brought to an end a great season behind the wheel of his Mopar #58. With a season's stats. like that, Sid Whittaker will be more than just a thorn in the sides of the established Super Series Stars. There is a distinct possibility that the flying Queenslander will be up on the podium again by the end of the grand final race on March 5 at Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway.
