Western Australia last held the title in 2012/13 at the Perth Motorplex when Speedcar legend Neville Lance finally broke through to claim his first Australian Championship crown and this season we are set to do it all over again! Western Australia has hosted the event seven times previously, at Claremont Speedway four times and the Perth Motorplex three times and now, the world class Motorplex will get their fourth chance to host the event. WA also has a proud history of winners in the event, with seven drivers sharing the win thirteen times, starting with ‘Fabulous’ Johnny Fenton back in the 1974/75 season. Since then, Fenton went on to win another one, Keith Mann won three, Michael Figliomeni won four and Geoff Pilgrim, Graham Jones, Tom Watson Snr and Neville Lance have won one apiece. This combined with the fact that fourteen drivers have filled the second and third placings another twenty seven times! After an extended break, the Perth Motorplex is ready to host what is sure to be another cracking event and with support from Gavin Migro at the Perth Motorplex, Speedcars Australia, Speedway Australia and WASDA; this event is expected to be huge! WASDA in conjunction with Speedcars Australia, would like to welcome everyone to the magnificent West for the running of the 2019 Australian Speedcar Championship. WASDA has scheduled our WA State Championship for the weekend before (Saturday Feb 2nd) in the southwest tall timber town of Manjimup. The white clay track always produces quality close and fast speedcar racing. Manjimup is only an hour or so away from WA’s wine region for those wishing to have the perfect holiday and race while away! We welcome everyone to come and enjoy, compete and socialise with the WASDA crew. Page 2 2019 AUSTRALIAN SPEEDCAR CHAMPIONSHIP For those who choose to compete in both events (WA and Australian Titles) and stay for the week, we’re planning to entertain you in the days between with a range of social activities including: v ‘Mad Monday’ event! v Sightseeing through the world famous City of Fremantle and its Cappuccino strip! v Lunch provided at the Perth Motorplex during scrutineering day. v An extra exciting Calcutta. Contact WASDA Secretary Mel Fleming on 0400 028 673 or via email at [email protected] to express your interest! If you could like to attend both weekends but need to fly home during the week, our local teams have also offered up secure parking for any teams looking to leave their trucks, trailers and tow vehicles, as well as help organising places to work and other towing arrangements. Contact Wayne Cover on [email protected] or myself on [email protected] for further assistance. We have compiled the following booklet for all teams interested in contesting the Championship events where you will find the important dates and nomination information as well as contact details, race schedules and information on the Championship week. We will share a separate downloadable post in January with local supplier information including methanol, race tyres, parts and more. We hope this assists all whom are planning their perfect holiday to WA, and possibly competing (or partying) at the 2019 Australian Speedcar Championship. We look forward to seeing you all here in February 2019! Glen ‘Mearsy’ Mears PRESIDENT WA SPEEDCAR DRIVERS ASSOCIATION INC (WASDA) Page 23 2019 AUSTRALIAN SPEEDCAR CHAMPIONSHIP PERTH MOTORPLEX Address: Anketell Road, Kwinana Beach, WA 6167 Phone: (08) 9419 6622 Postal Address: PO Box 241, Kwinana, WA, 6966 Website: www.motorplex.com.au The Perth Motorplex, Kwinana Beach is conveniently located in Perth’s southern suburbs less than 30 minutes from the City centre. Opened in December 2000, the multi million dollar facility has become the centre of attraction for automotive based activities including Drag Racing, Dirt Track Speedway, Burnout competitions, Street Machine Car shows, Monster Trucks, Stunt Shows and Super Cross events. The track is 500 metres on the pole line and 22 metres wide all around making it considerably wider than most circuits. With its long straights and flowing high banked corners, the Motorplex provides three and four wide wheel to wheel racing. The track surface is a peaty clay, generally being good on tyres. With the hot summer sun setting late in the afternoon during February, the track can dry off pushing the cushion to the fence providing extremely high terminal speeds. Facilities are second to none with a 1.2m high concrete safety barrier and high fencing above; a medical centre is located in the pits along with a machine examining shed complete with weigh bridge. The pit area spoils the crew with a green manicured grass to work on and bitumen road access to and from the track. The Perth Motorplex has the latest state of the art stadium lighting – certainly a great advantage as most major events are conducted at night time.

  • 2012 Team Racing Sponsorship Proposal
    2012 Team Racing Sponsorship Proposal Speedway Sidecars is a motorcycle sport involving 4 teams consisting of a rider and a passenger competing over 4 laps on an oval shale track. Rules are governed by the national speedway federation and are not dissimilar to conventional speedway rules. Speedway Sidecars is most popular in Australia although in Great Britain it also has a strong following. Speedway sidecar events are also held in New Zealand, South Africa and United States of America. Because of the nature of the sports hotbeds being spread so wide across the globe, organising an official World Championship has been an arduous task, though in 2006 the first successful Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme or (FIM for short) World Track Racing Sidecar Championships (Sidecar Gold Cup) were held at Isle of Wight Speedway stadium. The event was screened live on Sky Sports. Racing speedway sidecars involves a rider and a passenger mounted on a 1000cc purpose built, three-wheeled sidecar outfit. The passenger of the machine is as much involved in the race performance as the rider. The two members of the sidecar team work in unison to ride the outfit as best they can. Speedway circuits are a loose shale surface and therefore traction is most important. The passenger plays a major part in controlling the amount of traction being created on the rear wheel. He does so by moving his weight forwards, backwards and sideways (either in to or out of the machine). The outfit only ever turns right so the passenger only finds himself on the right hand side of the outfit.

  • Sprint Car Racing 1 Sprint Car Racing
    Sprint car racing 1 Sprint car racing Sprint cars are high-powered race cars designed primarily for the purpose of running on short oval or circular dirt or paved tracks. Sprint car racing is popular in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Sprint cars have a high power-to-weight ratio, making speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour (230 km/h) possible on some tracks. 900 horsepower (670 kW) is commonplace for these machines which typically have a 410 cubic inch engine displacement.[1] A lower cost but still popular class of sprint cars uses 360 cubic inch engines and produce approximately 700 horsepower (520 kW). The safety record of Modern sprint car sprint car racing in recent years has been greatly improved by the use of roll cages to protect the drivers. Many Indicator Series and NASCAR drivers used sprint car racing as an intermediate stepping stone on their way to more high profile divisions, including Indianapolis 500 winners A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Johnny Rutherford, Parnell Jones, Johnnie Parsons, and Al Unser, Jr., as well as NASCAR Sprint Cup champions Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart. The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum located in Knoxville, Iowa, USA features exhibits to highlight the history of both winged and non-wing sprint cars. Mini sprint car Non-winged sprint cars There are a few sanctioning bodies for non-winged sprint cars. The United States Automobile Club (USAC) has become the premier series for non-winged sprint car racing throughout the United States, especially after taking over the Sprint Car Racing Association (SCRA) and turning it into the USAC/California Racing Association (USAC/CRA).

Students linked the deaths to their demon- sti^tions and called for a general strike in protest Troops moved against students whose defiance of martial law and occupation of Beijing’s vast square Chin'a^s rulers'^^ spurred a power struggle among 'The military advances began about midnight and ended in disarray. More than eight hours later soldiers still straggled away from thecity center to the outskirts, where about 200,000 soldiers were reportedly camped. Soldiers advanced down Changan Avenue, the capital s main road, but thousands of students and residents used trucks, buses and their bodies to stop them in front of the Beijing Hotel, several hundred yards east of the square. other troop convoys coming from other directions also were halted. The middle of the square remained calm, with the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony blaring over student loudspeakers. More than 2,000 people surrounded two unmarked buses, one carrying about 40 soldiers and the other supplies including automatic rifles, 1.2 miles west of Tiananmen. Some of the people broke into the supply vehicle and removed several automatic rifles, one equipped with a bayonet, and displayed the weapons on a table set up on top of the bus.
