2017 - PERTH MOTORPLEX Speedway. LATE MODEL NATIONALS. [night one] 13th January 2017.This weekend of racing was sure one to remember, from a spectating point of view you were treated to an exhibition of close racing with competitors able to race safely side by side, wheel to wheel and all racing lines available, The surface was smooth with a thin layer of loose dirt that went on to form a slight windrow on the fence as the programme continued on both nights.
Race after race was run with some drivers running on the wall and others choosing mid track, as well as the short distance around the curb, positions were changing multi-pull times through out the racing.
No records were set as far as lap times went, but because of the nature of the surface there were only a few well managed restarts.
The two nights major feature was the Late Model Nationals, feature three American drivers, Devon Moran from Ohio, now a regular at the Plex driving a revelution racecar for Jason Moyle from Bunbury, Steve Francis, the undefeated feature race

2017 - PERTH MOTORPLEX Speedway. LATE MODEL PRO DIRT ROUND. 1st April 2017.
|
Paul Stubber has been showing a rapid increase in form and car speed since the USA Invasion tour, It seems that all fell into place on Saturday night with Paul taking out the final round of the Pro Dirt Late Model series at the Motorplex.
Paul started the feature from 3rd row inside next to Michael Holmes, while Jamie Oldfield and Kye Blight were off the front row, with Marc Giancola and Ryan Haliday off the 2nd row.
The racey track surface was once again perfect with many races going on within the one race, such is the new surface of the race track that cars retiring through breakages is a thing of the past.
So with the 25 laps completed, Bunbury's Paul Stubber had a convincing win from fellow Bunbury Driver Kye Blight and third Michael Holmes.
Feature results
Jamie OldfieldJamie Oldfield finished the season on a high taking out the 2016 2017 Pro Dirt Series win by 1 point over Kye Blight, who was just 2 points in front of Warren Oldfield, As a bonus he also took out the Perth Motorplex Track Championship from Michael Holmes.

Kye Blight returned to racing after a lay off, crewing for Paul Stubber in America and building his new Longhorn race car, Not all went well for the Blight team earlier in the month while testing at Attwell Park Speedway in Albany, they detonated the engine, Paul Stubber loaned Kye the pistons to repair the engine and Jason Moyle worked into the early hours of the morning to rebuild the engine for his debut night racing. great result for all.
Joe Godsey from the USA was very impressive. |
