Press Release by Morgan Melvin
Round three of the Novus Glass Street Stock Month of Madness hits the Perth Motorplex this Friday and Saturday Night for the AMPOL Legends of Speedway night.
For Street Stocks, the legend honored this weekend is Bob Wakefield.
Commencing his competitive racing career in 1992 aboard a Valiant Charger, an odd addition to the regular Street Stock fields of Ford Cortinas and Chrysler Sigmas, Wakefield later built another Charger in 1995, a car he made infamous.
Contesting his maiden National Title at Esperance Speedway in 1995, the dedicated racer participated in 19 National Titles and 27 state titles. His best result on a National level came with third place in 2011 at Timmis Speedway in Mildura, Victoria.
Bob’s son Evan is on the list of nominations for this weekend, who will be looking to take victory in a race dedicated to his father’s time in the sport.
This is the second time the Month of Madness has been run at the Motorplex. The first time around, National Champion Anthony Beare took the victory.
This time Beare will not be in attendance, but his sparring partner in that event, Jamie Oldfield, will be.
Oldfield heads into the third round with a 10-point lead over Derby’s Jake Hoath, with Ethan Genev and Damon Lyall also within a win behind the current State Champion.
The weekend’s format again will bring a taste of difference, with the top six on points for the feature race drawing for each other in a ‘U Pick em’ style.
