Street stocks return to Geraldton for first time in 13 years for ODH Mechanical Tri-City Series

Engines were revving in Geraldton over the weekend as the Mid West city played host to round two of the ODH Mechanical Tri-City Series. The three-event series started at the Ellenbrook Speedway from September 23-24, then the second round was brought to the Geraldton City Speedway and ran on November 25. The event brings high stakes, with the payout for first place $4500, $2800 for second and $1500 for third. It brings the street stocks, the Speedway Sedan Australia’s biggest division, back to the Mid West for the first time in 13 years. The feature event of the night was the street stocks race, which was won by Jamie Oldfield, who completed his 30 laps in a total time of 29min. 33.038sec., with his best lap coming in at 17.821sec. As the final took off for the street stocks division, Oldfield took the lead and never lost it as he dominated the race. Ben Norman and Peter Dowie followed in second and third place respectively. Oldfield also took the win in the late models category, with Casey Paech and Peter Walker rounding out the podium. In the senior formula 125’s just three cars finished the final, with Chris Berry winning and Julianna Beard coming in second by just 2.7sec. and Hailee Berry close behind in third. The production sedans division came down to the wire, as Mason Fenner got the win ahead of Jamie Graham by just 0.007sec. The final round of the Tri-City Series will be held next year, at the Perth Motorplex on January 12-13.
