Welcome to the Beat the Heat (WA) Inc program. BTHWA was designed to build alliances between young drivers and the Police by using the common interest of motor sport to provide opportunities to educate young drivers. It is hoped that this interaction will bring about changes in attitudes that will encourage responsible driver behaviour and acceptance of the road rules in the community.

IT'S DO OR DIE TIME AT THE DRAGS

The pressure will be on for Tango1 driver John Solich at this weeks Autotrader Fast Friday finals. Currently placed second in the Southside Engine Centre Sportsman class, John will be going all out to beat Tyrone Beggs who is only 50 points in front of John. John and Tyrone have been battling all season and John is determined not to let Tyrone get the upper hand. Tango2 will be missing from action this week which means driver Lee Watson will miss out on points to finish in the top ten in the Pro Autos OZ EFI class.

And while we're talking about Lee, what a blitzer of a day he had at the WA Drag Racing Grand Final held at the Perth Motorplex. After qualifying 29th, Lee ran strong through the eliminations taking out one competitor after another and making it to the finals against Darran Bakranich. Lee ran 12.386 @104.04mph in the final on a 12.40 dial in putting him in to second place. None the less, it was a great effort by Lee.

Meanwhile, John was having a rest from driving Tango1 and Mark Jeffs jumped into the pilot seat for the Grand Final event. . Qualifying 4th with a best qualifying time of 11.032, Mark was knocked out in the first round after running an impressive 10.958 @ 120.8 mph on an 11.02 dial in. A good time, but too fast for the class.

There are only a few weeks of racing left till the Winter break. So if you want to see the cars race, come down and watched, visit the pits and say hello.
