MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIE

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY  16

Tasmanian Jock Goodyer capped off a solid WA tour by winning the Total Tools Krikke Boys Shootout at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night, February 15.

His win in the prestigious event followed victory in the Barbagallo Mr Sprintcar Nationals at the same venue seven days prior –  and was round 18 of the 22-round Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series championship.

The former Australian champion started on the outside of James McFadden on the front row and after getting the initial jump, surrendered the lead only a few laps in, not reclaiming it until late in the race.

Kerry Madsen, who started from p3, held on for second, while defending Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series champion Dayne Kingshott, who started from p6, took third.

Goodyear started the show by being quickest in his qualifying group, before moving from fourth to second in his heat race and from p2 to a win in the B Dash.

Madsen was third quickest in his qualifying session before moving from p2 for a win in his heat race, before finishing second in the A Dash.

Kingshott was second in his qualifying group but failed to progress in either his heat race or dash.

McFadden set the Victory 1 Performance Quick Time in a gruelling hot lap and qualifying session that saw a handful of cars damaged.

Tim King was the first victim when his right rear wheel broke away, before Myles Bolger clouted the fence in a similar spot.

Dylan Menz, Brad Maiolo, Aaron Chircop and Daniel Harding all suffered damage in their qualifying runs.

New Zealand Michael Pickens, when running 10th, cut a left rear tyre with only nine laps completed and he was able to change it in the work areas.

Jason Kendrick backed his car into the infield safety barrier after battling for a position deep in the back, ending his night.

The red lights were activated with 17 laps remaining after Michael Keen went on a wild ride and Brad Maiolo spun out when having nowhere to go.

At the stop, several drivers changed right rear tyres and went to the rear of the field – and as this happened, officials shortened the race from 35 to 30 laps due to time issues.

McFadden was fourth, while Ryan Lancaster, who started p4, drove one of his best races for fifth.

Friday night winner Callum Williamson was sixth, American Cory Eliason was seventh after coming out of p13.

Marcus Dumesny, Jaydee Dack (up six spots) and Brad Maiolo rounded out the top 10.

Luke Oldfield, who finished 14th after starting p26, was the Kincrome Hard Charger for the round.
