Wa Sidecar/ron Johnson Memorial Results

[Stats]

A great night of 2 and 3 wheel action at Bibra Lake. All of the fancied Sidecar contenders had a bad heat - O'Brien, Drew, Shield, Christopher.

Dice between Simon Stead and Craig Watson in every heat was breathtaking stuff.

Great debut in senior ranks by 16 year old Carly Gittus - daughter of former great sidecar passenger Jeff Gittus - looked comfortable in B grade ranks.

Here are the results -
