After a string of washouts, the Ellenbrook Speedway finally got a show in yesterday afternoon, and with plenty of competitors packing the pits, it was a huge day of racing.
A twenty two strong field of SSA Street Stocks began the day and twenty one of them would start the feature after some great heat racing. Reece O’Reilly put in a great performance throughout the heats to qualify himself of the front row for the twenty lap main event but it was fellow front row starter Kayne Dellar who took advantage of his starting spot to race into the lead.
Behind him names like Blake Iwanow, Matthew Iwanow, Daniel Ameduri and Ethan Cooper were all fighting hard and applying the pressure to Dellar. Blake would be forced infield, which put Matt into second, but in the dying laps it was Cooper, who had dropped as low as eighth early in the race, storming through and was able to wrestle second away. Dellar would cross the line ahead of Cooper and Matt Iwanow.
In the SSA Production Sedans it was tough going for a number of competitors, a big crash in the heats eliminating a number of them early. In the main event it was all Murray Iwanow who was able to hold off the advances of WA Champion Kyle Sayer, while veterans Wayne Leviston, John Castagna and Warren Flavel would round out the top five.
The SSA Junior Sedans put on a show across both disciplines of racing, with Jake Johnson dominating the day in the New Stars. In a good field of cars that saw each and every driver develop their skills across the day, he would defeat Jake Huntjens and Ivy Bearsby in the final.
In the Top Stars it was an epic display of racing, with battles right throughout the field, WA Champion Oscar Amato besting former WA Champion Jake Leaman after an intense race long battle, while Baxter Trouchet would get the better of Jamie Comley to finish third.
It was a great day of racing and for the Junior Sedans in particular a great way to prepare for the Tom Green Memorial coming up at the venue in a fortnight’s time.
