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)

The photos can be viewed here.

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.

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.

After rain last week forced the cancellation of the opening Whoop Ass Wednesday, the first street meet of the new Motorplex season was a Formula Tech Mystery Monday, you can check out the photos by clicking here.

Photos from the Motorplex's 2006 opener have been up since Sunday, but are currently restricted to VIP Members only. They will be released to the general public in about 2 weeks time.

Photos from the Nitro Funny Car Fury are online now, but are only visible to 'VIP Members', they will be made available to the general public in a few weeks time.

Looking at the results of the survey I posted on the subject, this shouldn't bother too many people, so I'll be restricting access to most events for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, to see how things work out with the VIP section...
