ITS TIME TO RUMBLE!

The curtain is set to fall on another huge season for the Late Models Racing Western Australia calendar this weekend, with the annual Red Dirt Rumble returning to the iconic Kalgoorlie International Speedway for its sixth running.

The event marks the final official LMRWA show of the 2025/26 season and, fittingly, has attracted a quality field eager to leave their mark on the red clay before the off-season begins.

All eyes will again fall on defending champion Joe Chalmers, who already stands alone as the only two-time winner of the Red Dirt Rumble. After victories in 2022/23 and again last season, Chalmers now has the opportunity to further cement himself in event history by becoming the first driver to claim three wins in the prestigious Kalgoorlie feature.

The only other former winner in this year’s field is Michael Holmes, who took victory in 2023/24 and will be keen to reclaim the trophy after watching Chalmers regain the crown twelve months ago. Holmes has shown strong pace throughout the season and shapes as one of the major threats.
Adding another layer of intrigue to this year’s event is the inclusion of brothers Warren Oldfield and Jamie Oldfield, fresh from an extensive eastern states campaign. Jamie arrives in red-hot form after capturing the Queensland Title last weekend, while Warren’s experience and race craft always make him a serious contender whenever he straps into a Late Model.

Fellow traveller Jeff Pahl also returns west after contesting events interstate and will be hoping the valuable laps gained over east translate into a strong performance at his home track of Kalgoorlie.

The local brigade will be determined to defend home turf, led by Mat Robbins, Damian Hudson and David Boyes, all of whom know the unique Kalgoorlie surface exceptionally well and could prove difficult to beat on their home circuit.

Another fascinating storyline comes in the form of former WA Street Stock Champion Jack Barnewall, who will make his debut in the event. Barnewall’s transition into the Late Model ranks has generated plenty of interest and the Red Dirt Rumble provides another major opportunity to test himself against some of the state’s best.

Also nominated are Greg Horan, Shaun Cubbage, Nathan Richards, Ben Strautins and Abbey Pickering, ensuring a strong and diverse field for the season finale.

Since its inception, the Red Dirt Rumble has quickly established itself as one of the most anticipated events on the LMRWA calendar. Kye Blight claimed the inaugural running in 2020/21 before Veronica McCann added her name to the honour roll the following season. Chalmers and Holmes have since shared the last three editions, but the question now remains, who will add their name to the trophy in 2025/26?

TAKE TWO AT DECIDING A CHAMPION!

After the disappointment of a rain-out a fortnight ago that halted proceedings on what was meant to be the championship decider, the stage is once again set at the Perth Motorplex for a blockbuster conclusion to the 2025/26 Pro Dirt Series, presented by the team at ABN Trade Mates.

What was left unfinished now returns as Western Australia’s best Late Model competitors prepare to finally settle the score and crown a champion.

A strong field of nominations has once again been assembled for the rescheduled finale, ensuring a fitting conclusion to what has been a highly competitive and entertaining season.

Heading into the final round, Joe Chalmers (Team BCM Motorsport:) retains the advantage at the top of the standings. Still chasing his first feature race victory of the season, Chalmers has built his campaign on consistency and returns aboard the Nylander Motorsport #54 determined to convert that form into a championship-winning result.

Hot on his heels is Beau Oldfield (Oldfield Racing), just 39 points adrift. Oldfield has impressed throughout his rookie season and, with the reset that comes from the rain delay, remains firmly within striking distance. One strong night could be enough to turn the tables and secure the title.

Warren Oldfield (Oldfield Racing) sits third in the standings and, while still mathematically in contention, faces a steep challenge. It would take a near-perfect performance combined with some misfortune for those ahead, but if the past fortnight has shown anything, it’s that nothing can be taken for granted.

Rounding out the top five are Jay Cardy (Cardy Racing Components) and Michael Holmes (Michael Holmes Racing), both of whom have been consistent all season and will be eager to finish their campaigns on a high in the rescheduled decider.

Adding further intrigue, the Perth Motorplex Track Championship will also be finalised on the night. Chalmers again leads that battle, with Warren Oldfield and Beau Oldfield close behind, while Holmes and Luke Halliday (Halliday Racing) remain in the mix. With both the series and track honours still unresolved after the washout, every lap and result counts!

Beyond the championship contenders, the field is stacked with drivers capable of playing spoiler. The returning Brent Vosbergen (Team Vosbergen Racing - TVR), feature winner Abbey Pickering (All About Racing), in-form Rod Musarra (Team Rocket) fresh off an outstanding Speedweek, and the ever-dangerous Jamie Oldfield will all have a say in how the final plays out.

We also welcome Bryn Haythornthwaite back to the seat, contesting a Pro Dirt Series round for the first time in two years, where he contested the 2024 Grand Final and came home thirteenth.

With unfinished business from a fortnight ago, two championships on the line, and a full field ready to deliver, the Pro Dirt Series Grand Final promises to be well worth the wait.

It all comes down to this….take two!
