Great weekend in Albany
by Richard Miller
After missing the previous round at Barbagallo due to work commitments Graham Renn returned to the LF Performance Speed Event Series in style with a pair of wins in Albany with his closest rival in the championship, Ray Ferrari, finishing second on both occasions. Renn dominated the Windfarm on Saturday – finishing just over a second clear on 35.13. The result at Mt Clarence was a little closer – with the split being just under a second. This allows some breathing space for Renn in the championship – the margin increasing to five points.
In third at the Wind Farm was Gary Thorn (Birkin S3). Gary ran a best of 37.25 seconds – a time equalled by Phil Morley in his Nismo Saurus. A mix up at the presentation meant some back and forth of trophies was needed and the two were last seen heading for the car park to sort things out once and for all. Thorn was fourth at Mt Clarence – his fastest time of 30.16 seconds meant he was the quickest of seven drivers in the 30 second bracket. Whilst Saturdays result was a highlight for Phil Morley Monday saw a reoccurrence of the drive shaft issues that afflicted the Saurus at Barbagallo and he recorded a DNS. With Peter Morley holing a piston at the Wind farm there will be some work required before the next event.
Third at Mt Clarence was Dick Ward (Fiat Abarth) with a solid time of 29.53. Dick was one of a number of competitors to run in the Round the Houses regularity event where the rotary was a firm favourite among the crowd. Also having a good run were Steve Metlitzky and Bill Stagoll in the Lotuses. Metlizky stopped the clocks at the Wind Farm on 37.89 seconds twice for fifth place and Bill Stagoll finished eighth on both days in the Exige. Close to home the Hornsey family had their usual busy long weekend – Keith running his 63 Studebaker Lark at both hillclimbs and Adrian running the two hillclimbs and the round the houses in their VC Commodore.
Events on both days ran smoothly for the strong fields of entrants who got no fewer than five runs at Mt Clarence – and that with a finish not much past 1.00pm. Competitors were effusive in their praise for the Great Southern Street Machine Association who organised the hill climbs.
The LF Performance Speed Event Series returns to Barbagallo raceway for a long circuit sprint on the 13th July.
Check out some of the Mt Clarence photos on our Facebook page. Many thanks to Richard for the weekend’s wrap-up and photos.

Barbagallo Sprint Wrap-up
Many thanks to Richard Miller for words and pictures from this event.
With the halfway point of the 2013 championship rapidly approaching 78 entrants lined up for round 5 of the LF Performance Speed Event Series at Wanneroo. Although the field was missing a number of the championship leaders there was still a tremendous range of vehicles and a pleasing number of first time entrants. Noticeably well represented was Ford – a pair of black R spec GT FG Falcons contrasting nicely with a pair of classic class 3E Mustangs…

Busselton wrap-up
by Richard Miller
A solid field, an abundance of spectators and fine conditions combined to make the 2013 Shannon’s Busselton Sprint a good day out for LF Performance Speed Event Series competitors. Coming into the event the outright championship was finely poised, with the leading runners having had the opportunity to show their different strengths on different circuits and all having netted good points hauls from the opening three rounds. See full article, pictures and results in The Tracks/Busselton Super Stage.

2013 kicks off!
Competitors please be aware of the most significant changes to this year’s LF Performance Speed Event Series Regulations.
- 4WD is now split into two Classes 4WD A under 4000cc and 4WD B over 4000cc.
- Outright Closed Car Classes are split 1B 0-2000, 1D 2000-4000 and 1E over 4000cc.
- A Series competitor may nominate one vehicle & one class to register for the 2013 season. This is the only vehicle and class the competitor may earn Series points in and be awarded all associated merits. A competitor may only enter one vehicle per event.
In the unfortunate event of a vehicle being unable to complete the Series, a competitor may, in writing, submit a request to the Speed Event Series Eligibility Panel to enter a replacement vehicle for the remainder of the season. If approval is granted this vehicle will then become the competitors primary Series vehicle. Any registration of previous vehicles will be forfeited & no further vehicle changes will be granted to the competitor for the remainder of the season.
That is, if a competitor presents at an event, in a vehicle other than his registered vehicle, no Series points will be awarded to that vehicle for that event.
If a competitor changes vehicle during the year, points awarded to the original vehicle and Class will remain, and subsequent points will be awarded to the replacement vehicles Class.
