What was to be a pure Super Stock field at this weekend’s Round 3 of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series at VPW Pro Series 1000 will now amalgamate to Super Comp, not that it fazes former Super Stock champion Jim Ioannidis.

Scott White remembers the last time he was at Adelaide International Raceway very well. It was at the 2014 Fuchs Spring Nationals for Round 4 of the ANDRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Championships.

The Darwin-based rider qualified third in the field of six riders with a 7.413 elapsed-time. However in the first round of competition, White experienced one of those career moments when he defeated Rookie Ryan Learmonth with a PB time of 7.20 seconds. This not only was a giant performance leap for White but the ET also stood as the quickest run of the year for the bracket. 

The good fortune looked to continue in the semi finals against Maurice Allen. “Incremental times were looking even better and combined with the holeshot startline advantage I had on Maurice, it looked like a winner. However I was unable to shift out of third gear when the air shift line blew off,” said White. This allowed Maurice to catch up and cross the finish line ahead of me.”

This coming weekend White is ready to go one-step further at the VPW Pro Series 1000. “Rino from Racing Onn Promotions has been working hard on the promotional path with some drag racing demonstrations at the V8 Supercars Clipsal 500. As a result it will hopefully pack the venue out again,” said White.
