2013 - PITHARA SPEEDWAY SLIDESHOW & WEST COAST SPEEDCARS
The Perth based West Coast Speedcars club run at Pithara Speedway on a regular basis, The club is very proud of its roll in the West Australian Speedcar scene, Acting as a training ground for rookie drivers to get some laps in prior to later progressing to the rough and tumble world of semi professional speedcar racing at the highest level, with the West Australian Speedcar Drivers Association, The other group of drivers that benefit from this concept are the former top line drivers that feel there bodies can no longer withstand the punishment that these cars can and may dish out, Club President Alan Meakins has raced many divisions over the years and has settled into this club to simply enjoy a bit of racing, The club boasts a healthy membership and all of the cars are late model chassis with a range of engines from stock block Mitsubishi's and Toyota's right through to the big cube V4 engines, A notable inclusion in the club this year and soon to be on the track is Geoff Pilgrim, former Australian champion and well known for his car-craft as well as race-craft ability.
