It’s been almost 3 months since Wanneroo Raceway saw competition racing but this February 26th and 27th the WA Sporting Car Club will be running the first of its six, two day race meets with Saturday Nightmasters racing.
After a two year hiatus it seems the thirst for Formula 1 in Australia is at an all time high with tickets being snapped up quicker than a lap around the circuit.
The third round of the RSEA Safety Motorsport Australia Rally Championship (ARC) will be known as Rally Launceston, celebrating the host city of this year’s bigger and better event.
The event gives an opportunity to people who may not be able to enjoy high speed thrills the chance to jump into a drift car and be driven at speed around a drift circuit for a few laps.
Debuting at Motorvation 36 is Justin Pitsikas’s impressive Supercharged EFI LS powered BMW. The team behind BYE Performance are responsible for the build and tune of a large contingent of Blown & Open Class Burnout Competitors in WA.
Justin & the BYE Team built the car with the sole intention of Smashing Tyres and utilizing some cool technology along the way, 33 pounds of Boost is certainly going to liven things up too. I caught up with Justin after he christened the Motorvation 36 Skidrow with this car the first Burnout laid down on the now Black piece of Staging Lane.
Before hitting the Burnout pad Justin had the idea of attempting a rolling shot of the car smoking the tyres down the Drag Strip and he managed to peel tyres for the entire quarter mile (check out the footage, it’s pretty cool). Before he even made it back to the Burnout Pad the car had destroyed a brand-new set of tyres.
After a successful day testing the new car Justin hit the Burnout Pad and everything was going perfectly until the bracket holding the DBW on the Injector Hat broke resulting in the Butterflies being stuck at full throttle, with the engine singing above 8,200rpm it sounded awesome and managed to get tyres off, only to get stuck in the chute on the way out..
Thankyou to the Perth Motorplex & Motorvation for allowing me to utilise the Skidrow Footage.
