The WA Sporting Car Club’s latest race meeting of the year was held on the weekend with around 160 competitors taking part in the Rob Janney Memorial Race Meeting. 
  
Held at Wanneroo Raceway, the weekend was split into two days as 10 different fields spread across each day enjoyed three races and/or sessions. 
  
There was a good variety of results on both days with plenty of tight racing where some categories went right down to the final race while some drivers produced a masterclass performance in others. 
  
On Saturday, out of the five competing categories, three had clean sweeps of victories, with impressive performances in the Pomtec Motorsport Excel Cup, the HQ Holden Sedans and G&V Earthmoving Historic Touring Cars. 
  
Ryan McNess took out the Excel Cup in dominant fashion as Brandon Sharpe and Stephen McGregor traded podium places – a similar story in the HQ Holdens as Ryan Davis and Michael Woodbridge were intertwined in an epic battle for second as Michael Howlett comfortably claimed all three wins. 
  

Seven classes featured in the G&V Earthmoving Historic Touring Cars with Class A winner Clinton Rayner steering his Chevrolet Camaro to an outright win, while fellow class winners Stuart Young in the LJ Torana GTR XU-1 and Don Behets in the Ford Galaxie rounded out the outright podium. 
  
In the Make Smoke History Formula Vee, David Caisley enjoyed the outright victory, despite losing the final race to round runner-up Jason Fowler, while Brett Scarey secured a clean sweep of Formula vee 1200 class wins. 
  
Saturday also saw the Rob Janney Time Challenge where entrants were split into two groups. Taking out top honours courtesy of being the only driver to score three top-threes was Jamie Scott in his Ford Escort Mark II. 
  
In the same group as Scott was Stephen Ellish in a Holden Commodore VN who finished second overall, despite sharing points with the other group’s winner in Michael Costa, thanks to a count back of wins.   
  
Behind the wheel of a Ford Falcon, Costa led a trio of Falcons with Peter Dyball and Chris Woodward rounding out the time challenge’s top five overall. 
  
The entertainment continued well into Sunday with the remaining categories, although this time the final results weren’t as close as Saturday’s action. 
  
Like the opening day of the meeting, three drivers dominated their respective categories and enjoyed a perfect weekend, whereas the racing remained close in the other categories. 
  
In Formula Racing, Simon Alderson claimed three wins from three races, a feat just missed by the Historic Racing Car class winner Andrew Nielson – who won twice and finished second on the other. 


Adam Lisle was just as comfortable in the Perth Motorsport Tyres Formula Sports Racing category with the Radical SR3 RSX steerer easily winning the round with three wins of his own as Aaron Love just edged out rally young gun Max McRae on the final race. 
  
Grant Hill was the other driver to enjoy wins in the category’s two 15-lap races, with the Ford Falcon BF driver beating fellow Falcon driver Ryan Humfrey to Motorsport Australia WA Sports Sedan & Sports Car Championship honours. 
  
The remaining two categories went right down to the final race as victory in the third Formula Ford outing to Craig Jorgensen helped him leapfrog race one winner Joshua Matthews in the standings after the latter finished fourth. 


In the final category, the Rightway Industrial Saloon Cars, there was plenty of drama in the final race late on Sunday afternoon as Rob Marcon was on track to claim a clean sweep of wins after having been victorious in the opening two rounds. 
  
Leading the final race of the weekend, the Falcon pilot ended up retiring on the penultimate lap, which ultimately handed the race victory to Commodore VT driver Matt Martin. 
  
Heading into the race, Martin was third on the round standings, trailing Marcon and Mason Harvey, who had finished second in the opening two races. 
  
With Marcon retiring and Harvey having an incident on the second lap, which saw him fall down the order to finish last, it gave Martin outright round honours against the odds. 
  
In the Saloon Car - PRO-AM class, another Commodore driver enjoyed ultimate bragging rights, as Michael Koberstein was the best in the class for all three races, comfortably beating Mark Jones and Neil Streatfield. 
  
The next WA Sporting Car Club event will be again Wanneroo Raceway on 13 November.
