V8s and modified sedans on display at Manjimup Speedway on Saturday night

Manjimup Speedway was loud and roaring as the V8s and modified sedans made their way onto the track for spectators on Saturday night. Saturday’s races included all the classics, including new stars, top stars and street stocks, while also bringing production sedans, V8 dirt modifieds and modified sedans. In the top stars, Jake Leaman won, with Colby Bosley and Jett Downs behind in second and third, while Bree Hinsey was named the new stars winner, with Zac Favero and Addison Walsh coming in second and third. Street stocks saw Shane Whild take first place, with Paul Bowman and David Fall closely behind in second and third. Productions was a close race, one that saw Kelsey Bell beat Wayne Leviston and Mark McDonald to be named the winner of the category. Modified sedans was another close race with Lee Watt and Calen Ball just missing out on winning, coming in second and third, while Lindsay McAuley was named the champion. In the final category of the night, the V8 dirt modifieds was a race not to miss, with revved-up engines and tough chassis making their way onto the dirt track. Although a nailbiting and intense race, it was all over when Daniel Kennedy crossed the finish line in first place. Kristen Falconbridge came a close second, with Greg Bodger, Mark King and Cody Evan taking out third, fourth and fifth places. The next race on March 9 will mark the end of the 2023-24 Manjimup Speedway racing season, where Street Stock Stampede along with club divisions will be making a mark on the speedway track for the last time this season.
