Jarrod Pearce, Bryce Fisher and Baxter Trouchet reach final at WA Junior Sedan State Title in Esperance
Three Mt Barker Speedway Club members made the Speedway Sedans WA Junior Sedan State Title championship final in Esperance on Sunday night.
But Jarrod Pearce, Bryce Fisher and Baxter Trouchet were unable to finish the 25-lap final, retiring from the event.
Brock Pearce and Ben Steers from Mt Barker, along with Albany’s Jasmin Kennedy and Harrison Beres, also contested the junior State title at the weekend.
The 22 finalists received their medallions prior to the start of the final, but Trouchet was eliminated from the race after an incident on the opening lap.
Jarrod Pearce was deemed the primary cause of the next two stoppages, ending his race prematurely after qualifying in ninth position, and Fisher was the next casualty, retiring with a flat right front tyre on lap seven.
Beau Oldfield delivered a faultless performance to lead all the way in the final to defeat Esperance local Chris Dickerson and Kalgoorlie’s Kayne Dellar in an outstanding night of racing.
Pearce finished eighth on points after the qualifying heats with 96 points, followed by Fisher on 92 and Trouchet on 76.
The other Great Southern drivers finishing further down the order were Brock Pearce (74 points), Kennedy (52) and Steers (31).
In the B-Main One over 20 laps Steers, Beres and Brock Pearce failed to complete the journey, while Kennedy finished sixth in the B-Main Two.
