ROUND 3 RACE REPORT Sunday 11th October saw the best in the West assemble at CollieMotorplex for the running of the third round of the WA State Road Racing Championship for 2020. This has been strange season so far, with COVID-19 delaying the start of competition and, for the first time in living memory, two consecutive race meetings were unable to be completed. Happy to say this round was run in its entirety, with near perfect conditions for racing. First up was the Professional Printers Sidecar Championship, which unfortunately was run as a non championship event due to a lack of numbers. That didn't stop the field putting on a good show, with Dillan McDermott/Grady Norris (Super Spray LCR Suzuki) winning the round and setting a new lap record (1:13:1965). Second overall was Murray Stronach/Steve Marshall (Aceman Enterprises RHR Kawasaki) with Gary Cushnahan/ Michael Matesich in third. In the Rick Gill Motorcycles Clubman Series Andrew Smiles (JW Motoparts Triumph Daytona 675) took two wins and a third in the final race to finish on top of the podium. Second overall was Stephen Blount(Honda CBR 1000RR) with two fifth places and a win in the final race. Alan De Araujo (Honda CBR 1000RR) came in third with a fourth and two second places. In the GoMoto Store Production Championship it was a close battle between three riders. At the end of the day the battle for top spot was between Bronson Pickett (Go Moto Store Yamaha R3) who took a second and two wins to finish first overall. Second was Adam Parsons (LPB Industries Yamaha R3) with a win in the first race and then two second places. Youngster Jordan White (Go Moto Store Ninja 300) with three third places grabbed the minor podium place. Pickett has a 33 point advantage with one round remaining. The MCRCWA - BNG 'B' Grade Series was taken out by Tim Boujos (JB Racing Yamaha R6), second was Josh Mathers (JSM Construction WA Yamaha FZR1000) with Scott Pettit (Pro Twin Australia Ducati 1299 Panigale) filling the minor podium place. The Triton Electrical Superbike Championship saw Ex-BSB rider Sam Clarke (Rick Gill Motorcycles Suzuki GSX-R1000) continue with another dominant display, taking three wins on the day and setting a new outright lap record (1:08:162). Adam Senior (Senior Engineering Yamaha R1) was the best of the rest with three second places. Ben Stronach (VRT Signs Yamaha R1) took third for the day with two thirds and a fourth place. Clarke holds a 24 point lead with three races remaining for the 2020 season. In the Cullys Yamaha Supersport Championship the same three riders occupied the top three spots in each race. Tim Boujos won the first race from Bronson Pickett (Chain reaction Motorcycles Yamaha R6) with 2019 Champion Tommy King (Keen Edge Construction Kawasaki ZX-6) in third spot. In race 2 it was King that took the honours after a race long battle wit Pickett and Boujos third. Race 3 saw Pickett lead until just three corners from home he struck a 'false neutral' and had to settle for second behind King, with Boujos once again in the minor podium position. Going into the final round Pickett holds a 17 point advantage over King and Boujos who are tied on points. In the Senior Engineering Junior State Championship William Wasley (VRT Signs Yamaha R15) won the round with two wins and a second place and also leads the championship by a slender four points. Second on the day was Jayden Martin (Aussie Moto Engineering Yamaha R15) with a third, second and a win in the final race of the day. Calvin Moylan (Major Luck Lottery Centre Yamaha R15) took a fourth and two third places for third outright on the day and also in the championship.

RACE REPORT - Round 1 The long awaited return to racing for the Motor Cycle Racing Club of WA finally arrived on the 9th August with Round 1 of the revised four round championship held at CollieMotorplex . There was plenty of enthusiasm around the pits although many riders were keeping an eye on the weather. Approximately 70 riders entered, including several cross entries, for the days racing – great numbers considering the delayed start to the season. Unfortunately, as qualifying began the weather took a turn for the worse, with the wind picking up and the rain getting heavier by the minute. By the time racing commenced the rain was steady with gusty winds and a temperature around 15C. The unpredictable weather conditions caught a few riders out with a couple of the younger riders namely William Wasley and Jayden Martin both sliding out unhurt in qualifying. When racing commenced it was the GoMoto Store Production Championship with defending champion Bronson Pickett (M&B Rubbish Disposal Yamaha R3) continuing where he left off in 2019 with a strong win. Second was Michael King (BAT Racing KTM RC390) with up and coming star William Wasley (JB Racing Ninja 300) grabbing a strong third place. In the second race it was King who took the win from Jordan White (DJ White Contracting Ninja 300) with Pickett in third place. Hannah Stewart (Lee Mechanical Yamaha R3) was fourth in both races. The Rick Gill Motorcycles Clubman Series saw Jeff Cameron (Mototech T. Yamaha R1) take the win, his first in four years from pole position ahead of Paul 'Dickie" Davies (Honda CBR 1000RR) with newcomer Raymond Kleyn (Go Moto ZX-10) in third place. The Professional Printers Sidecar Championship saw polesitter Jero Joyce/Corey Blackman (RHR Racing) and second on the grid newcomers Paul Joshua/Josh Mathers(RHR Racing) both beaten for the holeshot by Dillan McDermott/Grady Norris from third place on the grid. McDermott/Norris went on to win comfortably in their first competitive outing together, with Joyce/Blackman second and Graeme Evans/Jarrod Scott (RHR Racing) in third place. Joshua/Mathers finished a very creditable fourth place after the six lap race. The Triton Electrical Superbike Championship saw the return of Sam Clarke (Team RS36 Suzuki GSXR 1000) to WA, following a stint racing in the BSB Championship. Clarke put the bike on pole in a time of 1:26.7890 seconds ahead of Leigh Boujos (JB Racing BMW S1000RR) and Jeff Cameron (OZsteel Design Yamaha R1). In the race Clarke had a minor off at T9 with rider and bike unscathed which allowed Boujos through to take the win ahead of Adam Senior (Senior Engineering Yamaha R1) and Cameron Stronach (Motorcycle Movers Ducati 1299).Clarke finished the race in sixth place salvaging some valuable points. The Cullys Yamaha Supersport Championship saw Bronson Pickett on pole with a time of 1:32.2800 seconds take the win ahead of Lino Mazzali (JHPM Yamaha R6) with Tim Boujos (JB Racing Yamaha R6) taking the minor placing. The Senior Engineering Junior Championship saw Jayden Martin (Aussie Moto Engineering Yamaha R15) on pole in a time of 1:47.3750 seconds set on the only lap he did in qualifying 1, and managed to hold on despite his minor off during the session. He went on to win the race from William Wasley (Yamaha R15) and Calvin Moylan (Major Luck Lottery Centre Yamaha R15) in third place. Thank you to all of the competitors who supported the event, its great to see everyone back racing again! An even bigger thanks needs to go to out volunteers and officials on the day, especially those who travelled down from Perth and stood out in the weather all day! Round two will be held at Wanneroo Raceway on the 20th September, with a Tuning and Training event held at the same track the week before, on Saturday 12th September.
