Latest W.A Microsprint News
The W.A. Micro’s to call Bunbury home!

 

The W.A Micro brigade have up until now been a some what nomadic  group, touring up and down the W.A. highway’s and byway’s  racing at numerous venues in an endeavour to show case this relatively new class of speedway racing to the W.A. public. This coming season the W.A. micro sprint club will be taking a very different approach, by collectively joining the Bunbury car club and therefore appearing at all of the Club shows at the esteemed Bunbury City Speedway. It was a club decision to find some where that they could call home, and the big Bunbury Bull ring seemed liked it would work out best for all. The Bunbury car club have been extremely welcoming of the W.A.  Micro club and in turn the members of W.A.M.S.A. are excited to say the least, to think that they will be associated with a club and track facility that has such a rich and honourable speedway history.

The 2010/2011 season is sure to be a  huge milestone in the short history of the W.A. Micro club. The big Bunbury bull ring will challenge the drivers and their weapons with the “WIDE OPEN” nature of the track sure to serve up much high speed competion, that will be the talk of the town!!!

The season gets under way with a test and tune day on the 9th of OCT. and the first club race meeting for the 2010/2011 season will be Saturday night the 23rd of October. For further dates and info on the Bunbury car club go to http://www.bunburycarclub.com.au/welcome/

The Tricorp 10,000 Series

The Tricorp 10,000 as the series will be known will run one round in Victoria, two rounds in NSW and two rounds in Queensland with the final round set for the Easter weekend at the Charlton Raceway in Toowoomba next year.

Drivers are being incentified to go hard from the word go with prize money on offer at each round and the driver with the highest points score for the serries come the final night feature race at Charlton will collect a cool $1500 before the main race even starts with another $3000 on offer for the feature winner on that night.

Affordable Microsprints are and yet the racing is second to none with very close hard fort battles for every position and surprisingly very respectable lap times are posted at every venue they run.

Australian Microsprints share all the same technology as their American cousins, with brands such as Stellard, PMP, RTS and a few local manufactured chassis such as Bill Roberts chassis are all being used in the weekend battles. In recent times a few F500’s have been easily converted to run under the Microsprint rules.

Microsprints are the challenge that proves to be too irresistible to ignore and has help launch many a speedway career here and in America.

Former Australian Microsprint Champion and Sprintcar star Troy Little will again belt up in a Microsprint as time permits in his Sprintcar schedule to have a crack at the 10k purse.

The 2008/2009 national rule book is almost ready for release and most teams are already very busy preparing cars and inventory for an assault on the Tricorp 10,000.

Microsprints may race hard but come, the end of the night it is all about mateship with a friendly yarn or two and being involved in the greater Speedway family.
