Drivers from Victorian, South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales will vie for the coveted number one moniker.
Defending champion David Gartner, from South Australia, will have his work cut out for him with the likes Ryan Alexander, also from South Australia, three-time state champion Peter Nicola, his brother Mick, a two time champion, and Lucas Roberts all keen to add to their tally.
Roberts will be chasing an incredible sixth state championship.
Matt Pascoe, the current Queensland champion, is also in the field and is a multiple times state champion up north.
Others to watch include Ash Bergmeier, Mick Nicola Junior, Andrew White, from New South Wales, Jamie Collins and Trent Wilson, from Queensland.
The big powerful eight-cylinder machines are spectacular in sound and in race manoeuvres as they hike the left front tyre up off the race surface as they get around the turns at each end of the race track.
With all the action and pizzazz that comes with holding a Victorian super sedan title, the production sedans and the junior sedans are the only support classes this weekend.
The production sedans competition will be strong with defending champion of the class Shane Hutchins in the line-up, alongside the likes of Mark Cecil, Bevan Hutchins, Leigh Jeffery and Troy Britton, who have all been winners either last year or this year at Rushworth.
The Hutchins boys will be looking to get some momentum of their own going as far as winning, while Cecil always shines when there is a big stage and a big crowd.
In the junior sedans, Lachie Fitzpatrick continues to win at home and away at venues such as Swan Hill, and is looking to continue his dominance.
He can expect strong challenges from the likes of Josh and Luke Cecil, Daniel Smith, Tristan McGraw and rookie Cooper Laurie.
Racing starts at 4pm.
