• Note that the two links that are redirects are intentional, as at the time neither the racing series or the race itself were known under their current names, rather the linked ones. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:07, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

• The hook is fine (sourced, proper length, interesting, neutral, grammatical and such).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:25, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
• Not creator nominated (QPQ not necessary).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:27, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
• Image is free and properly used.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:27, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
• Article is new and long enough.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:43, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
• The article is generally good. The WP:LEAD is a bit lengthy and has too many paragraphs for this amount of prose.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:20, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
• Good to go.
