Following his world-record beating performances of late, ten-time ANDRA Champion John Zappia is looking to break the Perth Motorplex track record at this weekend’s Prestige Lock Service Goldenstates.

The Saturday November 11 event marks round five of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series including racing for the Super Gas, Summit Racing Equipment Junior Dragster, Denso Super Street, Modified Bike, Super Sedan, Modified, Top Sportsman, Supercharged Outlaws, Competition, Super Stock and Competition brackets. The event will also host exhibition racing from Top Fuel Motorcycles, Outlaw Nitro Funny Cars, and Top Doorslammer racing in the local  Summer Slam Series – including local hero Zappia.

Graeme Simms is currently celebrating his 50^th year of drag racing, and is hoping to punctuate it this weekend with a win at the Prestige Lock Service Goldenstates at the Perth Motorplex.

Over the past half-century, Simms has always competed in the Super Stock bracket while dabbling in “too many other classes to count” including a number of seasons in Pro Stock, holding records in B/Gas and F/Gas as well as B, C and D/MP.

Round two Supercharged Outlaws winner Alan Mahnkoph might have missed the last two rounds of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series due to work commitments, but that hasn’t dampened his enthusiasm for this weekend’s round five at the Perth Motorplex.

The Prestige Lock Service Goldenstates will be held at the Perth facility this Saturday, November 11.

After three rounds of racing, the 2017 Summit Racing Queensland Championship winners have been awarded following the final round of competition at Ironbark Raceway (Roma) over the weekend.

Previously, the series had visited Palmyra Dragway (July 1 and 2) and Benaraby Raceway (September 3), employing a Chicago Shootout style of racing to the delight of racers and spectators.

Danny Rickard has stepped up to a new bike for the 2017/2018 Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series and is hoping to claim its first win at next weekend’s Prestige Lock Service Goldenstates (11 November).

The Perth Motorplex event is the fifth round of the 2017/2018 Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series.

Roma racer Rita Carney will be racing against time to be on-track this weekend for the Summit Racing Queensland Championship at her home track, Ironbark Raceway.

Carney competed in her Gemini at the track’s home championship event last weekend, breaking a tail shaft in the process. Now, she waits to see if she can get a replacement in time to compete in this weekend’s finale event on Saturday, November 4. 

At last weekend’s Spring Nationals, held at Adelaide International Raceway, Daniel Camilleri not only top qualified and won the SuperComp proceedings but also twice reset the national DD/GA record.

The Victorian racer’s convincing performance in his Pontiac Firebird started right from the first qualifying run, and continued all the way to a record-setting final round win.

Chris Theo heads to this weekend’s Spring Nationals at Adelaide International Raceway well and truly on a high after taking out his first ever event victory three weeks ago.

Theo broke through for his maiden victory at Mildura’s Sunset Strip Nationals (September 23/24), claiming the Top Sportsman honours in what was only his third event in the bracket.

This Saturday, Competition Bike will make a return to Adelaide International Raceway for the first time in three years as part of the weekend’s Spring Nationals – round four of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series.

Amongst the field will be local racer and 1991 Pro Stock Motorcycle Champion, Phil ‘Blue’ Howard.

After destroying an engine just weeks ago, defending Supercharged Outlaws champion Adam Murrihy was faced with a daunting task to be ready for next weekend’s Spring Nationals: round four of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series.

Thanks to the tireless efforts and support of his crew, engine builder and friends and family, the two-time champion has confirmed he will line-up at the October 14 event in Adelaide as he looks to chase a third consecutive championship.
