Kwinana Beach, Western Australia AU | Oct. 22, 2011 - Round 2 of the R2C Competition Filters Pro Dirt Series was held on the grand opening night at the Perth Motorplex Saturday October 22.  Wet weather late in the afternoon threatened a washout, with many teams loading their cars fearing the worse. Motorplex management was positive the weather would clear though, and asked the drivers, crews, and fans, for some time and patience. A couple of hours later, racing finally got underway, with all divisions having to sacrifice a round because of time constraints....

Seventeen high powered V8 Late Models, split into two Heats, hit the high-banked track, which was in surprisingly good condition after absorbing so much moisture.

Ben Ludlow, after starting mid pack, was in great form, easily winning the first Heat, followed home by Brad Blake and Jay Cardy.

Warren Oldfield won the second Heat, leading from start to finish. Craig Vosbergen and Jason Oldfield filled the minor placings.

Motorplex champion Brad Ludlow, Ben Ludlow, and Nat Muir, were non starters in the Feature as all had engine issues.

The Feature was another awesome display of dirt track racing, with the tricky surface lending itself to a bit of paint swapping between the cars. The most damage however, was done when the Oldfield brothers Jason and Jamie came together. Jeremy Hale was also involved, with more body panels left on the track than remained on the cars.

Warren Oldfield emerged a triumphant winner of the Feature, and was quick to acknowledge brother Jamie for his success. Warren had to borrow an engine from Jamie in order to compete on the night. Craig Vosbergen made amends for spinning out of second place in sight of the flag in Round 1 at Ellenbrook, by bringing the #8 home second this time, while Brad Blake finished third, to back up his runner up position at Ellenbrook.
