Siblings seeking twin championships in Mum’s honour
When the final round of the Queensland Drag Racing Championships hits the track at Willowbank Raceway this Saturday (21 November), siblings Kellie Kidd and Tony Bellert will be looking to secure twin-championships for their family.
The 32 year old mum of two and her 35 year old engine building brother are leading the points standings in the Knijff Earthmoving Modified and QDRC SuperComp brackets respectively, with Bellert hoping to secure back-to-back titles.
Adding to the family factor is the fact that the pair were introduced to racing by their father and fourth-placed Knijff Earthmoving Modified competitor Phil Bellert, and that under the Bellert Racing Team banner they all compete in honour of their late mother and wife Browyn Bellert – whose passing due to cancer was mourned by the sportsman drag racing community in 2013 with a display of pink heart ‘in memoriam’ stickers which many competitors still carry today.
