News from the
UltraTune Morley USA Late Model Invasion Tour
LRMA Media Release - 3.1.12 LRMA
The New Year finally arrived and welcomed the highlight
event of the Late Model Racing Australia’s season that
everyone had been waiting for.
The Ultratune Morley USA Late Model Invasion Tour, which
was also the 7th round of the R2C Competition Filters Pro Dirt
Series, was run at Manjimup Speedway over two nights on the
1st & 2nd January.
The first night shook the small southwest town into the New
Year and the ground rumbled when the powerful V8 late models
hit the extremely fast track.
There was an impressive field of 25 late models in
Manjimup, including Americans, Steve Francis, Jeremy Payne,
Steve Shaver, Doug Drown and young 17 year old Devin Moran.
The racing was hard and fast and definitely put the Australian
guys to the test. The heat races saw the Aussie drivers fight
hard to stay at the pointy end of the competition.
The first race of the night went to Jamie Oldfield, winning
the race after taking the lead from US driver Jeremy Payne in
the last lap.
Simon McNab won his heat in a new car that he purchased in
the United States earlier this year, which was only unloaded
from the container last week. McNab was extremely happy to
claim his first heat race win this season, after being
strongly challenged by Jason Oldfield who had fought his way
through the field after starting from the rear.
Steve Francis and Jamie Oldfield won both their heats and
former national title holder Brad Ludlow was also was on the
fast pace, winning a heat.
Dont forget the tour continues this weekend
at Collie Speedway on Friday Night and Bunbury
Speedway on Saturday night. Our own club
president Jason Oldfield is competing as well as
his brothers Jamie who is going extremely fast
this summer and Warren who's always up the front
so be sure to catch the two final nights of the
tour in the south west this weekend.

RDA
Media Release - 3.1.12
Jason Crowe SSA Media
Bunbury's Michael Hamon has taken
out the 2012 Street Stock Stampede at Manjimup Speedway on
January 2nd 2012. Hamon driving his brand new Holden VE
Commodore was unstoppable in the 20 lap final winning by a big
margin from RDA drivers Daniel Ameduri and Ken McPherson.
Hamon was
a very happy man after his win, "It feels great to win this
big event for Street Stocks down here at Manjimup Speedway,
I love racing at this track its just so much fun and I just
can't thank my crew for their help this weekend getting the
car ready to race which makes my job alot easier". The six
heat races conducted earlier in the evening were set at a
cracking pace with the only major accident occurring when
Mark Seaton would hit the concrete wall in turn 3 which
would end his night early.
The WA Street
Stock State Title will be held at Bunbury Speedway later
this month so be sure to head south on the 28th and 29th
January to support all of our RDA drivers who'll be
competing at the event.
News
from the WA Junior Sedan Title from Esperance
RDA
Media Release - 2.1.12
Jason Crowe SSA Media
After the opening night of the
Smokefree WA, West Australian Junior Sedan Title was all but
washed out, Hayden Purnell has won the State Title, on an epic
day and night of racing, which lasted eleven hours.
Intermittent Showers on several occasions threatened to
derail the entire event, but in the end a brilliant
spectacle was witnessed by an appreciative crowd, as Purnell
who finished second two years ago, took a strangle hold on
the race and effectively led throughout.
He had to
survive numerous stoppages, including one for a spectacular
rollover for Lawson Mayes with ten laps remaining.
Tyler
Vanzetti was second for the majority of the race after
starting on pole for the final, but a heavy hit with the
concrete wall put pay to his chances, and eventually he
withdrew from the race.
Jack
Alfirevich, Jordan Daniel, Matthew Iwanow, Brooke Oldfield
and Brandon Sharpe all were fighting for position behind
Purnell, who then had to survive a final stoppage with five
laps to go after a spin by one of the back markers.
Purnell
again skipped away, and looked comfortable, but Alfirevich
closed late to finish just 0.497 from Purnell after a
gruelling 25 laps. Matthew Iwanow and Brooke Oldfield would
fill the minor podium places.

Brian Rose Memorial Winner Dale Cockman
RDA
Media Release - 3.10.11 Grant Woodhams
Dale Cockman’s
stunning win in one of Australia’s longest
running Street Stock events has broken a chain
of nine successive wins by the Oldfield
brothers. While Cockman is certainly one of the
form drivers in Western Australia, he probably
didn’t share favouritism coming into the event.
While last
year’s winner Jason Oldfield did not enter the event,
brothers Jamie and Warren did, and many in the large crowd
on a cloudy but sunny afternoon would not have been
surprised to see them prevail. Add in the likes of former
Australian, Western Australian, and current South Australian
Champion Anthony Beare, former Australian Champion Michael
Hamon, former State Champs Wayne Thomson and Matt Amato,
along with a fierce group of talented locals including Dan
Salter, Ken MacPherson, and Stephen Cooper, and the
likelihood of a Cockman victory was not high on the agenda.
With the nine qualifying heats
completed there were some clear signals. Ameduri and Cooper
would be tough to beat, as they were on the front row.
Daniel Hade and Evan Wakefield were in brilliant form, and
they were in row two, while Jamie Oldfield and Damon Brown
were in row three. Just to make any thought of a Cockman
victory an outside chance, row four was occupied by local
guns Daniel Salter and Ken MacPherson. Cockman was back on
the inside of row six.
The heats had been very
tough affairs, some of them starting up to fourteen cars.
Ameduri won twice, while
singles went to Evan Wakefield, Matt Amato, Damon Brown,
Daniel Salter, Daniel Hade, Murray Salter, and Jamie
Oldfield. The heats produced some brilliant racing with
Stephan Cooper with two seconds and a third, just shading
Ameduri in points. The heats also saw the demise of Anthony
Beare who had major mechanical issues on board the Daniel
Salter Falcon.
The first part of the
Feature went according to script with a great battle between
Cooper and Ameduri. Ameduri eventually gained the upper hand
and these pair established a small break over Daniel Hade,
Evan Wakefield, Damon Brown, Ken MacPherson, Daniel Salter,
Warren Oldfield, and Damien Amato. Amato spun, and Salter
was sent to the rear for his part in the incident.
On the restart Ameduri and
Cooper found it hard to break away and a fascinating series
of laps ensued with Hade challenging for the lead, while
Cockman advanced to the top five from position eleven. As
the twenty five laps started to tick down,Cockman was on the
move. He dealt with Damon Brown, Evan Wakefield, and then
Daniel Hade, before getting past Cooper, who retired shortly
after.
A restart seven laps from
home bunched the field for one final time. Cockman sat
behind Ameduri for a couple of laps, and then in a brilliant
move went to the outside in turn four and drove to the lead
with five to run. Ameduri chased to no avail. In the closing
stages of the race Damon Brown moved to third, with Wayne
Thomson jumping up to fourth from position thirteen.
The majority of the field
finished, although notably neither Oldfield, Jamie
(mechanical issues) or Warren (crash), took the chequered.
Cockman’s was a great and popular win and he has now written
his name large on one of Australia’s biggest Street Stock
races.

Salter Wins SSD
Street Stock Sedans at Kellerberrin Speedway
RDA
Media Release - 13.7.11. RDA Media Team
Daniel Salter has
won round three of the Speedway Sedan Digest Street Stock
series held at Kellerberrin today. Daniel was consistent
throughout the day and also greeted the chequered flag first
in an earlier heat. His results gave him position 5 for the
feature. The form he showed at Ellenbrook last weekend
continued as he managed to pass the 4 cars ahead of him and
take charge of the race. After the 20 laps had been run, Dan's
immaculate #26 EL falcon would cross the line first ahead of
Narrogin's
Jason Mulgrew in second and
Bunbury's Michael Hamon in third. Well done Daniel on your win
today.
Other RDA members,
Murray Salter, Late Model star Warren Oldfield in "Rocket" Rod
Smith's car and Daniel Ameduri also has success with heat wins
between them. Oldfield also was consistent with an early heat
win and no less than three top three results. Unfortunately
for Warren, he was unable to complete the 20 lap final which
was disappointing as he was in good form all day. Ameduri in
his first outing in a brand new car also won the B-Main and
started the A main out of position 17. He would go on to make
up 10 positions to finish in a strong 7th place in the
feature. Murray Salter who has recently returned from a long
break away from racing would have been pleased with his result
today as he finished the feature in a respectable 10th
position. Ken McPherson was unlucky today as he was forced to
withdraw from the feature unable to complete the distance
after showing good form in the earlier heat races. Ken no
doubt win bounce back at the next meeting at Ellenbrook on the
28th August and will be looking for a strong result.
Brendan McKeagg has had a disappointing season so far this
year at Ellenbrook to say the least but was in fine form early
today at Kellerberrin. Unfortunately for Brendan his bad luck
continued today as he was unable to complete the distance in
his second heat and would not be back out on track again
today. Brendan, who is due for a good result soon will be keen
for a win at the next meeting at Ellenbrook in preparation for
the Brian Rose Memorial which is just over 7 weeks away.
Well done to all
of our club members who represented the Racing Drivers
Association and Ellenbrook Speedway at Kellerberrin today.
Again well done to Daniel Salter on his SSD Round three win.

MORE NEW DRIVERS FOR LATE MODEL DEVELOPMENT SERIES
LRMA
Media Release - 3.8.11 Ray Hale LRMA
The
penultimate round of this year’s BLAKE AUTO
CENTRE LATE MODEL DEVELOPMENT SERIES is to be
held at Ellenbrook Speedway on the 7 August
starting at 11 am and has attracted 3 additional
new drivers to have their initiation into the
raw power and wheel to wheel action of Late
Model racing.
Well known racing
identity Paul Stubber has nominated. Paul has raced Sedans at
Claremont and Sprintcars at Kwinana and is very well known
more recently for his exploits in his Chev Comaro historic
touring car in which he has been the man to beat at Bathurst.
Paul will be racing in the Matt Nylander Late Model and plans
to compete in this year’s Pro Dirt series after using the
development series to get his eye in. Also nominated is very
experienced Sprintcar driver and crew chief Rocca Zeminuc. Rocca
is no stranger to going fast on a speedway circuit and is
expected to adapt quickly to the brute power of a Late Model
and will provide stiff opposition to the other drivers. Ray
Leonard of Kalgoorlie will have his first Late Model drive in
one of the top shelf Oldfield team cars and plans to race a
Late Model at this year’s State Championship at his home
track. Ray has plenty of speedway experience and will
use the last two Development Series rounds to prepare himself
for competitive action in the Late Models.
Scott Riley will
return for another drive in the Ben Ludlow Late model and is
ready to make his mark on the series after showing plenty of
talent in his previous attempt. Having seen Scott race Ben has
now been able to tune the suspension to suit Scott’s
aggressive driving style so don’t be surprised to see his name
on the podium list. Series leaders David Nylander and Nat Muir
from Manjimup will continue their rivalry while early pace
setter Koran Atkinson will be primed for a very strong
showing. Nat Muir is taking things very seriously and turned
some laps at Kellerberrin last weekend to fast track his
skills development. Peter Seaton has been rapidly improving
throughout the series and is quite capable of spoiling the
party for the other drivers while Chris Biddle will have his
immaculate Rocket out to get some laps under his belt prior to
the ProDirt Season.. Simon McNab will compete for the first
time since returning from a drive in the USA where he also
purchased a new car. With the return of Mark Webster, Mark
Nylander and Corey Hodgetts the racing looks like continuing
to be of a high standard with the final result in doubt until
the chequered flag is waved.

Race
Report from the meeting of the 17th July
RDA
Media Release - 23.7.11
RDA Media Team
For
the second meeting in a row, heavy rains fell on Ellenbrook
Speedway on the Friday night prior to Sunday's racing. The
track staff again did their best to provide a quality racing
surface for the large amounts of sedans that had prepared for
the days events. There were good numbers of Late Models for
round three of the development series as well as a large
contingent of street stocks. Production Sedan and Junior Sedan
numbers were slightly down on the previous meeting but there
was still loads of action on the track. This meeting would see
four rounds of heats contested as on the 26th June, only two
rounds per division was able to be conducted.
The Junior Sedans All Stars and Top Stars were combined for
the first time this season due to the lower than usual cars
entered. The first heat saw Brooke Oldfield take the win over
JSRA Country Challenge Champion Josh Martinelli with Matthew Iwanow
coming home in third. Heat two would see Josh Martinelli this
time grab the flag with Brooke Oldfield coming home in second
and again young Matthew Iwanow rounding out the top three. The third heat
of the day would see Brooke Oldfield taking his second win of
the day Josh
Martinelli in second and for the third time of the day, Iwanow
rounding out the top three. The last round of heats contested
would finally see Matty Iwanow greet the flag first with
Brooke Oldfield and Josh Martinelli filling the other podium
positions. The feature race saw
Brooke Oldfield have an unfortanate incident with Bradley Oldfield
who had no where to go which unfortunately saw both cars
unable to contest the remainder of the final. Matthew Iwanow
would prove too good for Josh Martinelli on the day although
these two
drivers were locked in battle for the duration of the final. Jayden Meckenstock
(racing in the All Star Division) came home in third place and Jayden MecKenstock came home in
fourth.
Late Models had a great number of cars on hand for round three
of the Development Series. Due to the large numbers, the
division was split into two for the heat races throughout the
day. Heat 1A saw
Jeremy Hale cruise the victory over Koran Atkinson who finally
had his electrical gremlins sorted out and Jamie Oldfield
rounding out the top three. Heat 1B would see a vastly
improved Nat Muir taking the win over David Nylander in second
and Peter Seaton coming home in third.
Heat 2A saw Koran Atkinson greet the flag first with Matt Nylander and Jamie Oldfield
filling the remaining podium positions. Heat 2B saw David Nylander
take his first win of the day with Nat Muir
in second and Peter Seaton again rounding out the top three. Heat
3A saw Matt Nylander
get one on the board over Koran Atkinson in second and Jeremy Hale
in third. Heat 3B
saw David Nylander put win no 2 on the board from Nat Muir
again coming home in second and Matt
Nylander not too far behind in third. Heat 4A saw Jamie Oldfield
grabbing the win over Koran Atkinson in second and Jeremy
Hale coming home in third. Heat 4B finally saw Nat Muir wrap
up the race win with Matt Nylander in second and a consistant Peter Seaton
in third. The
feature race saw Jamie Oldfield charge to the front and from
there was never challenged as he cruised to victory over Nat Muir
who is really coming to grips with the powerful late models
and Matt Nylander
would fill third position.
The Production Sedans were down on numbers from the previous
meeting but there were some quality cars in the field. Heat 1
would see the epic battle reignite between John and Travis
Castagna and John would be victorious over Travis in second
and Glen Hoskins rounding out the top three. Heat 2 would see John Tarandetti
greet the chequred flag first from Glen Hoskins in second and Travis Castagna
come home in third. Heat 3 would see John Castagna place win
number two on the board from John Tarandetti in second and
Glen Hoskins crossing the line third. Heat 4 would see
Glen Hoskins finally come home in front of the field over
Allan Burrows in second and Travis Castagna rounding out the
top three. The feature race would see Glen Hoskins stand
on the top of the podium as he took the race from John
Castagna in second and Allan Burrows coming home in third
position.
The Street Stocks again had great numbers of street stocks
entered for the days racing. This division was split into two
groups also. Heat 1A
was won by Moora driver Chris Vanzetti from Nudge Ameduri in
second and Nathan Renfrey coming home in third. Heat 1B saw Daniel Salter
dominate the race and win from Ken McPherson second and Stephen Cooper
rounding out the top three. Heat 2A would see Aus #5
Nudge Ameduri take the win from Dominic Hughes in second and Barney Makene
coming home in third. Heat 2B would see Ken
McPherson take his first win of the day from Daniel Salter in second
and Stephen Cooper rounding out the top three. Heat 3A saw Ken McPherson
take his second win of the day over
Barney Makene in second and having his first podium at
Ellenbrook, Anthony Beetham rounding out the top three. Heat 3B
would also see Dan
Salter put win number two on the board with Stephan Cooper in
second and Nudge Ameduri coming home in third. Heat 4A
would see Murray Salter greet the flag first with Kenny
McPherson second and Barney Makene in third. Heat 4B
would see Dan Salter
take the win from Dominic Hughes with Chris Vanzetti in third.
The feature (raced in the clockwise direction) would see Ken McPherson
hassled by Ameduri for the entire race but he managed to hold
back the charge and take his third feature for the 2001 season
with Nudge Ameduri in second and Dominic Hughes bringing it
home in third place.
There was
plenty of on track action throughout the day and the large

Late Model Development Series Round 3
LRMA
Media Release - 12.7.11
Ray Hale - LRMA
The Blake Auto Centre Late Model Development
Series continues to attract strong fields of
drivers with 15 confirmed nominations for Sunday
17/7/11 at Ellenbrook Speedway starting at 11am.
The first two rounds have produced some
outstanding racing and this meeting is likely to
be an even better spectacle with in addition to
the up and coming drivers nominations also
include top 10 PRODIRT SERIES drivers Mark
Matthews and Jeremy Hale plus seasoned
campaigners Matt Nylander and Jamie Oldfield.
Last year’s series winner Jeremy Hale returns
for his first drive of the year driving the AJN
race car that he used in last year’s series
while Mark Matthews will be out to go one step
better than his very spirited exhibition of
driving in round 1 which netted a second in the
final. Koran Atkinson is looking forward to
racing after an electronic failure at the last
meeting prevented him building on his impressive
first round performance and will be out to make
up for the lost opportunity to score points in
the series.
Last round winner David Nylander and rising start recipient
Nat Muir will continue their rivalry after a very close race
in the final of round 2. Both drivers showed plenty of speed
and will not be taking a backward step when hostilities
recommence in Round 3. Scott Reilly is again competing after
giving the GRT car of Ryan Ludlow a seriously fast workout at
his first attempt in Late Model racing in the previous meeting
and is certain to be amongst the leaders. The field also
includes Mark Webster, Corey Hodgetts, Mark Nylander, Simon
McNab, Ian Birt, Mick Rawcliffe and Peter Seaton. As was seen
in Round 2 the racing format gives any one of these drivers
the chance to get onto the podium.
Racing starts at 11am,
Nominations for Round 3 :
2 Scott Reilly, 19 Simon McNab, 21 Mark Webster, 29 Nat
Muir, 30 Mark Matthews, 34 Matt Nylander, 51 Jamie Oldfield,
54 David Nylander, 55 Mick Rawcliffe, 63 Koran Atkinson, 64
Ian Birt, 65 Peter Seaton, 66 Mark Nylander, 71 Corey Hodgetts,

SSD
Production 20/20 this weekend at Kellerberrin Speedway
SSD
Media Release - 2.7.11
Grant Woodhams
Current Australian Production Sedan
Champion Jacob Mills from Corowa, NSW will join last year’s
Australian Champion WA’s Rod Musarra behind the wheel of a
Commodore for this year’s 20/20 event at Kellerberrin
Speedway.
The Mills and Musarra combination is
widely thought to be the team to beat in the event which sees
both drivers compete in series of heats before one driver
races the car for one twenty lap race, before his partner
steps up for race two. Courtesy of Ben Taylor, Mills and
Musarra will be running a Commodore that is being shipped from
Victoria for the event. Taylor was keen to see Mills take part
in one of Australia’s premier Production Sedan events and made
his car available when the recently crowned Australian
Champion decided to head west for the meeting.
Musarra is known for his exploits
behind the wheel of a Sigma, but his last appearance at
Kellerberrin saw him behind the wheel of the Kevin Park
Commodore which he drove from fifteenth to sixth in the Perth
TQCC Production Sedan Open Championship / Steve McWhirter
Memorial / SSD 4 Crowns Productions Rd 1. There is immense
interest in the event with over thirty teams nominating. The
winner of the event is the team with the highest combined
points after the two twenty lap races. The event has attracted
some of the best speedway racers from all divisions. Besides
Musarra and Mills, three other Australian Champions are in the
field. Late Model Nationals Champion Brad Blake teams up with
Jason Moyle, former LM Champion Ryan Halliday teams up with
his brother Luke, while former two time Australian Street
Stock Champion Jamie Oldfield is paired with Darrel
Haythornthwaite. No less than twelve Western Australian Sedan
Champions are in the field including current Production
Champion Casey Paech who is teaming up with his brother in law
Shane Brittain, himself a former WA Modified Champion. There
are former Champions from every sedan division including Rob
Bawden from Super Sedans, Ben Ellement from Modifieds, Kye
Blight from Productions, Wayne Thomson from Street Stocks, and
Jason Higgs from Super Six. Former WA AMCA Champion Koran
Atkinson is also nominated.
Another double champion combination
is that of David Lowe and Phil Rose. Bunbury based Lowe and
Rose are former WA Production and Modified Champion
respectively. There are at least eight father and son
combinations including Fish and Chris Telenta, Bill Penn and
Nathan Penn, Jim Connor and Mitch Connor, Mal and Jeff Pahl,
Eric and Grant Hutchings, Mick Nolas and Dylan Nolas, Dave
Webley and Stacey Bevin. The meeting also sees the racing
re-appearance of Ken Melvin who is partnering his son Morgan.
The sole women’s team in the Twenty Twenty is made up of
youngsters Danielle Joss and Rachelle Spalding.
