After the first day of racing at the Allwest Plant Hire Ellenbrook Speedway it was Anthony Beare who not only leads the points after day one, but also claimed the preliminary feature in the Brian Rose Memorial for SSA Street Stocks.
Beare was all class throughout the day as he claimed two heat wins and a third to sit atop the points tree with 95 points, ahead of local favourite Jamie Oldfield who claimed a win, a second and a third in his preliminary races.
Northern Territory Champion Justin Brumfield is third with 77 points, tied with South Aussie Steve Gartner in fourth while Cody Avins rounds out the top five on 69 points, tied with another local in Ben Norman who is sixth.
Drivers also had the chance to participate in a preliminary final to round out the day, with no points on the line.
Beare and Oldfield would share the front row and as the twenty-lap preliminary feature race went green Beare grabbed the lead followed by Oldfield who was running on the lowline.Beare broke away quickly, while Oldfield would have a three wide attack to fend off, with Gartner, Ben Norman and Brumfield three wide on his tail.
Eventually Gartner was able to clear the others, Brumfield locking in behind him, while Gordon Wyatt snuck past Norman for fifth.
Just past halfway distance Oldfield began to close the gap on Beare but it was too little too late as Beare raced away to a solid win ahead of Oldfield and Gartner.
In other SSA action, Josh Fraser survived a green, white, chequer restart to complete a day of dominance in the SSA Production Sedans, defeating Jayden McCuish and Brenden Higgs.
Jesse James Samuels would claim the win in the New Stars while Kayne Dellar was victorious in the Top Stars.
Action resumes again tomorrow with events for SSA Production Sedans and SSA Junior Sedans, as well as the final day of the Brian Rose Memorial for SSA Street Stocks.
The event begins at 11am, with live coverage available via Ash Media.
