Tonight was the first Whoop Ass Wednesday of the season to feature off-street drag racing and speedway practice. This was also the first chance for many speedway drivers to get onto the Kwinana clay this season. About 180 cars and bikes turned up to head down the drag strip tonight, and the speedway pits were overflowing as well.

The photos can be viewed here.

SupraWA held a dyno day today at InTune Performance, 20 cars turned up, mostly A70 and A80 Supras, but a couple of Soarers, a 200SX and an RX7 also went on the dyno.

Highest score of the day went to Jason's black 2JZ-GTE powered JZA80, with 613.4hp at the wheels. The highest score for a 1JZ-GTE was 363.4hp by Nathan's MZ20 Soarer.

As last weeks Mystery Monday was rained out, the Motorplex postponed the event until this week. This time round, the weather was perfect, the track was awesome, the only thing missing was drag racers (which meant more runs for those who did show, with some drivers getting in 15+ runs during the night)

Armadale Auto Parts have been running their open days for a few years now, and todays was the biggest yet. Over 200 street machines, hot rods and customs turned up to enjoy the perfect weather.

Tonight was the second running of the Motorplex's annual Burnout Masters event. Over 40 entrants turned out for the first of the Motorplex's three round Burnout series, which also includes Motorvation in January and the Good Friday Burnout King event.

In addition to seeing 40 of Perth's best burnout drivers, spectators also were treated to demonstration burnouts from Fred Watson, Debbie Gray and Peter Gray.

Once the smoke had cleared, reigning Good Friday champion Chris Michel (Wild LH) took home the winners trophy from Earl Salter (Ferral).

Tonight's Whoop Ass Wednesday at the Perth Motorplex was cut short by rain, but while the track staff were hard at work trying to dry the track so that racing could continue, spectators were given a bit of a treat with one of the biggest burnout fields ever seen at a Whoop Ass Wednesday, including a "small" skid from Burnout champion Peter Gray. Many of the burnout drivers in attendance tonight were giving their cars a final shakedown before Saturdays West Coast Burnout Masters, while some took the opportunity presented by the rain delay to head to the Snake Pit for the first time.

The first outing for dedicated race cars at the Perth Motorplex for the 2007 / 2008 season was the official pre-season Test and Tune held on October 6th. This was a chance for new drivers and new vehicles to license, for already licensed drivers to shake down their cars and bikes before the first National Open of the season, and for the rest of us to check out all the new cars, faces and paint on the scene for the new season.

New cars debuting included Frank Taylor and Al McClure's Funny Cars, Tony and Gillian Argentino's "The Hitman" Supercharged Outlaw Sedan, Jess Harper's new Dragster and the Chapman Brothers' new Mustang. Nick Gairdner unveiled his new "flat black" paint job (with a hint of safety orange)

About a hundred other cars and bikes were out running laps and getting some track time. You can check out all the action here.

Last nights Whoop Ass Wednesday at the Perth Motorplex was sold out by about 6:30pm, and was a busy nights racing. A couple of oil downs during the night kept the track crew busy and meant that management decided to extend racing past curfew to make up for lost time.

Dirty Deedz Racing has recently purchased a rolling chassis from the east, and plan to go racing in Supercharged Outlaws some time this season. The car has previously run in the 7.80 area on the east coast, and will be running a BBC and 8/71 combo. Look out for more photos of the car on this site as the build progresses.

Tonights Whoop Ass Wednesday at the Perth Motorplex was a frustrating rain-out, with the radar showing clear skies throughout the night, but persistant light showers over the track begging to differ.

In the end, only a handful of cars and bikes got down the track before the event was cancelled. Photos of the competitors who did manage to get some track time can be found here.

After two weeks of wet Wednesdays, tonight saw the first running of a Whoop Ass Wednesday for the 2007/2008 season at the Perth Motorplex. The rain still made it's presence known, but at least tonight it waited until everyone had gone home.

Over 180 cars and bikes came through the gates tonight and you can check out their photos here.

I've just uploaded some photos from Damo's birthday session at the Ultra Fast Karts at Wanneroo.

You can check out the photos here.

As has become kind of tradition for me, Fathers Day saw me in Fremantle for the Fathers Day Hot Rod Show at St Patricks Primary School. This show is run by the West Coast Street Rod Club, and is a fairly laid back, yet very well run event.
