Late Models Return To The Motorplex

This Saturday 20^nd October is the grand opening night at Perth Motorplex. The high powered V8 late models return this weekend to Kwinana beach to compete on the high-speed, high-banked track for Round 2 of the Hoosier Racing Tire Pro Dirt Series.

A field of nineteen cars has nominated so far for this prestigious event, and it’s not only high in quantity, its high in quality, and there is plenty to be excited about.

The nominations are headed up by Brad Blake. The multiple national champion understands that it’s important to do well and earn plenty of points at the beginning of the season and he is planning a podium finish.

Jay Cardy won the Motorplex championship last year, and always shows consistency, but it is guaranteed he is not the only one trying to claim a win this Saturday night, as there are plenty of other contenders.

One of those contenders will be the man who won the first round at Ellenbrook, and current Pro Dirt Series Champion Jamie Oldfield, who is planning on staying at the top of the ranks.

Craig Vosbergen has a point to prove, and points to gain, after his unlucky start to the season, with an electrical problem leaving him unable to complete the first round after qualifying pole.

You can also throw in two of the most experienced campaigners in the Late Model division, the father and son duo Ben and Brad Ludlow. Ben has done almost everything that can be done and won in a sedan, and knows what it takes to win. Meanwhile son Brad has shown he can be one of the fastest drivers in the state.

Others drivers who will race hard in the quest for glory are Warren Oldfield, Ryan Halliday, Michael Holmes, and Matt Goodlad

Given the big hitters who will be out in force it appears all the nominated drivers will have to be both consistent and fast.

And capping it all off will be a massive fireworks display to mark the start of the 13th season at the Perth Motorplex.
