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.

Simon Barlow might not have come away with a Modified win at the weekend’s Sunset Strip Nationals in Mildura, but he did break both ends of the Eighth Mile A/MD national record. 

A 4.425 second/159.19 mile per hour effort during day two of what was round three of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series saw the 48-year-old truck driver from Adelaide rewrite the record books.

After an exceptionally windy start to the weekend saw an altered schedule for today’s running, the Sunset Strip Nationals – round three of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series – has concluded in style at Mildura’s Sunset Strip this afternoon.

Jim Ioannidis (SuperComp), Graeme Cooper (DENSO Super Street), Leon Davies (Super Sedan), Graeme Spencer (Super Gas), Gordon Crawford (Modified Bike), Chris Theo (Top Sportsman), Wade Kisyma (Modified), Bradley Bishop (Summit Racing Equipment Junior Dragster) and Tim Stewart (Supercharged Outlaws) all took victory today in their respective classes.

Following heavy winds in the Mildura (VIC) region today, qualifying for the Sunset Strip Nationals has been suspended ahead of a resumption tomorrow (Sunday 24 September).

The decision comes as Mildura and its surrounding areas are battered by heavy winds, with the gusts causing dust to be continously blown onto the track to create unsafe conditions for racing. 

Sydney brothers Jackson and Samuel Perri will lead the Summit Racing Equipment Junior Dragster Championship field to Mildura this weekend as the title chase’s third round gets underway with the Sunset Strip Nationals this Saturday and Sunday (September 23/24).

After facing off against each other in the finals at round two (Alice Spring’s Desert Nationals), 15-year-old Jackson currently leads his 13-year-old brother on the points standings by just 10 points.
