Gary Walsh Cup Night 1 Heat 1! 🔥🔥

11/12/2025

The highs and lows of the 2 night Wingless Sprintcar Gary Walsh Cup! 🛞🔥

First of all a huge thank you to Peter Harvey for helping with the car and providing accommodation to make our 2 night show easier! Also a huge thanks to Josh and Sprintcar Engineering for helping with car setup.

Night 1-
After rolling in a fair bit later then we would’ve liked we rolled the car down to scrutineering and prepared for the heats.

Heat 1: 6th to 4th
So we lined up 6th on the grid and ready to go, as soon as the green flag dropped Connor showed pace going around the outside to claim 3rd after the first corner. We defended hard all race until on the last lap we were passed by another car and fell to 4th.

Heat 2: 5th to 7th
Starting 5th we were hoping we’d be able to hold position at least however we struggled and were unable to make up what we lost off the start.

Feature: 16th to 13th
So after our decent results we were able to make the main and lined up on the outside, big thanks to Josh again for setting the car up for the feature because as soon as the race went green we knew we had a fast car. Connor chased up to 13th and definitely had more car speed but unfortunately was unable to chase more positions.

Overall we were very happy with how we were looking going into night 2 and felt prepared to go chase results.

Night 2-
After our strong showing on the first night we lined up 16th in points out of 34 and were after a good nights sleep close by we felt rested and prepared.

Heat 1:
Unfortunately on a very wet track 4 cars including Connor spun out, we unfortunately connected with the wall in turn 3 and knocked the front end out and broke parts of the rear end on the right side including a wheel and birdcage. Unfortunately this was all JUST enough to see us out for the night

In conclusion even after the way it ended we were very happy with the pace that our car showed. We will be taking a larger break over Christmas as we take a spectator role and enjoy High Limit International!! 🍻🍻

Our next meeting we are aiming to attend is the Sprintcar Muster at the Perth Motorplex on the 2nd of January in the #35 Limited Sprintcar. We cannot wait to put wings back on and get out there again!!

WINGLESS SPRINTS SET FOR TWO-NIGHT SHOWDOWN AT THE JOHN DAY CLASSIC

The Wingless Sprints return to the Perth Motorplexthis Friday and Saturday as part of the massive John Day Classic weekend, with a strong two-night field ready to deliver high-intensity, elbows-up racing befitting one of WA’s most meaningful speedway events.

This weekend is extra special for the division, with the Wingless Sprints not only racing as part of the Classic but also contesting the Garry Walsh Cup, adding even more significance and pride to the results.

Garry Walsh is a deeply respected figure within the Wingless Sprint community, a dedicated competitor, car owner, mentor, and friend whose passion for racing has left a lasting mark on those around him. Instrumental in introducing the Wingless Sprints to WA in 2007, the Cup raced in his honour stands as a tribute to his contributions to the WA speedway family.

The class itself has been electric to start the 2025/26 season, and the story of the year so far has been Matthew Iwanow (Iwanow Motorsport) who arrives at the Motorplex having won all three championship rounds to date, including last weekend’s victory at Manjimup. Iwanow is the undisputed benchmark right now, carrying a perfect scorecard and all the momentum as he looks to keep the streak alive across two nights.

But he won’t have it easy.

Standing out among the challengers is Daran Humfrey (Humfrey Racing), who already has a Motorplex feature win to his name this season and has consistently shown the pace to threaten for more. With both the John Day Classic and the Garry Walsh Cup on the line, Humfrey shapes as one of the most dangerous threats to Iwanow’s dominance.

Newly crowned South Australian champion Blake Walsh is also in the field and he certainly isn’t here to just make up the numbers in the Walsh owned #23 machine.

A pile of front-running names also add serious depth to the field. Travis Armstrong (Armstrong Motorsport) has begun the season strongly and remains a constant danger around the high banks of the Motorplex, while Heydon Hicks (Hicks Racing ) has also been impressive and will be hoping to continue that run.

Brandon Sharpe (Sharpe Motorsport) will be hoping to bounce back from an unfortunate mechanical issue while running strongly last weekend, while names like Tom Britton (Tommy Britton Motorsport), Riley Phillips (Phillips Motorsport ) and Ryan Mitchell (Mitchell Motorsport) have all shown moments of genuine pace in early-season racing and are all capable of throwing surprises into the results across two nights.

Friday and Saturday’s combined entry list also features racers like Brad Mitchell, Jye McKenzie (Jye Mckenzie Racing) and rookie Brendan Newmarch (Newmarch Racing): drivers who have shown cool under pressure and could easily push toward the front when it counts.

Add in plenty of other big names including Brad Fitzgerald, impressive rookie Tyler McQuilkin (McQuilkin Motorsport), Blake Scarey (Scarey One Motorsports) and the returning Matty Fellowes (Fellowes Motorsport) and we are assured of plenty of fierce racing over the two nights.

With prestige, points, and two major honours up for grabs, the John Day Classic and the Garry Walsh Cup, the Wingless Sprints are primed for one of their biggest weekends of the season. Whether Iwanow can continue his perfect run, whether Humfrey can strike again at the Plex, or whether a new name rises to the occasion, one thing is certain…

The Wingless Sprints will put on a show the General and Garry Walsh can be proud of!

Limited Sprintcar King of Wings filled with learning experiences.

After our sprintcar debut at Ellenbrook Speedway in the Sprintcar Engineering number 87 limited sprintcar in September we felt prepared to roll our own car out for an epic week of racing.

After learning a lot on the Wednesday night practice we went into King of Wings ready to roll out, learn more and pull off some good results. So we got going for hot laps and whilst rolling around discovered we had a power steering leak from the steering box. However Connor persisted and ran hot laps unfortunately though we missed on the gearing and struggled to pull out of corners so we timed 8th in our group.

So with new gears and nothing to lose we lined up 9th for heat 1, the car immediately felt better and we were making good progress. However on lap 3 a car spun in front of us and unfortunately we got collected.

Overall we were happy with the progress we had made and are confident next time out we can convert that into results. Huge thanks to Peter Harvey at Sprintcar Parts Australia for helping with car setup and thank you to our crew Luke and Georgie for helping out and being there for us as always
