Eureka Series RD 2 Warnambool Media Release Cassie Tuckett
On Saturday the 24th November all three Westside Honda sprintcars headed down to Sungold Stadium, Warrnambool for round two of the Eureka Garages and Sheds Sprintcar Series. “Mr. Speed” Matthew Reed, the current Victorian Champion was in top form driving his V92 sprintcar powered by his 410 engine, as were his fellow team mates Mark Charge driving the V48 360 and Gary Isom, american young gun from Nebraska in the United States in USA 29 in the 372 engine. Mark Charge in the V48 started out in second position for his first heat of the night. He battled it out with Jamie Veal but lost his placing to finish in third. In his second heat, which was heat five on the racing program Mark had a good start but tapped the wall in the middle of turns three and four which caused some minor rear end damage forcing Mark out of the remainder of that race resulting in a 12th position start for the B – Main. He moved up one position to finish in eleventh place therefore not transferring into the A– Main Feature. Mark enjoyed a night of racing and was proud to see all three Westside Honda cars on the track for the event. American Gary Isom driving USA 29 took to Sungold Stadium for the first time this season. Gary’s night appeared to start out well with a fifth place in his first heat but in his second heat the car was towed off the track after a huge hit to the wall again in turns three and four breaking the front end. Gary was fortunate enough to have the car repaired in time for the C Main, where he started out of position six and finished 2nd transferring him into the B Main with Mark Charge only one row infront. Gary started out 14th position and progressed through the field to finish 8th just a few places shorts for the transfer into the A Main. "Mr. Speed" Matthew Reed driving the V92 had his foot on the peddle all night. He started ninth in his first heat moving up through the pack to finish fourth. Matthew’s second heat saw him take out the win, and in the pole shootout Matthew qualified second for the A Main on the front row next to Warrnambool’s own Darren Mollenoyux. The battle between Mollenoyux and Reed was fought right up until the drop of the chequered flag. Darren Mollenoyux took the win over Reed who finished in second followed by Jamie Veal in third place.
New Season New Addition USA #29 WESTSIDE HONDA SPRINTCAR 27yr old Gary Isom from Mullen, Nebraska will be the next man to jump in the hot seat of a Westside Honda sponsored Sprintcar.

WSS - WORLD SERIES ROUND 4 The race fans at Nyora Raceway thought they were seeing double as Mark Charge and Matthew Reed circled the infield in the 4th round of the World Series Sprintcar Championships on Saturday 25th November.
ANTHEM LAP MATTHEW REED, JASON JOHNSON, MARK CHARGE Mark had made the decision to enter the world series event only 5 days prior, after discussing with Matthew the valuable lessons that could be learnt regarding cornering techniques and car setups. Mark elected to start rear of field in his heats and maintained good speed and car control throughout the nights events. " Its been a great night , I've had a ball. I thought the track was very challenging but I managed to stay out of trouble and keep up with the pack without being lapped so I'm happy. Matt has been great. His advice and support has been really beneficial and I hope to be able to go better and better at my next few rounds." On Sunday 3rd December, Mark and the Westside Honda Team are heading down to Warnambool to compete in the SRA 360cci Round. " I'm really looking forward to Warnambool. The car feels great and I think we should be fairly competitive.. We are hoping for a top 10 finish"
