![]() ![]() “The Super Sedan bracket is full of amazing characters who are both very competitive and extremely friendly, so you have the best of both worlds in Super Sedan – it really is like a big drag racing family in this bracket. “So, whoever wins that beautiful ANDRA Christmas Tree trophy well and truly deserves it. “Without a doubt the Westernats are a huge event for all West Aussies – we love the event! There is always an extra buzz in the air, and everyone tries so much harder to win – so to get through for victory you have to be either very lucky, or very good!” grinned the Waikiki (WA) resident. Like many West Aussie drag racers, Moorhouse holds the MacTrack Westernationals in high esteem. But having said that, I will certainly enjoy jumping back in the seat and the car has been running incredibly consistently, so we will see what happens!” He is currently sitting second in our track championship and has been driving exceptionally, so it is disappointing. “I am extremely disappointed of course that Stuart is missing out, as this was supposed to be his year. I haven’t driven since last year’s event – at the start of this year we decided my son, Stuart, would take the seat and drive for the whole season, but unfortunately for him he has work commitments so he can’t get to this event, so that gives me another opportunity to have a go at it! “When it comes to how confident I am feeling ahead of this year’s event, I would have to say I am not feeling very confident at all. “The car hasn’t changed since last year – we had a new combination then, so we have kept it pretty much the same, tuning for consistency rather than trying to rotate the earth. It was also great as I was pitted next to my good friend Ray Lecocq who made the final last year as well, so it was a great night for both of our teams – especially as Ray had nothing but troubles all weekend so it was great for him to make the finals too. “I suppose you have to take it when it falls your way, but it is not really the way I like to win. I always say it is better to be lucky than good, and that event was sure a lucky event for me!” laughed the 50-year-old real estate agent. “The 2021 event was a dream run for me with a lot of luck going my way. Moorhouse heads to the Westernats with two victories at the prestigious event under his belt – one in Super Street in 2012 and one in Super Sedan just last year. The MacTrack Westernationals will host the latest round of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series (SRESS), as well as the Australian Drag Racing Championship (ADRC), and the Motorplex’s Nitro Slam series across March 5 and 6. Roger Moorhouse will have the opportunity to secure a Westernats hat trick this weekend when the 2022 MacTrack Westernationals event hits the Perth Motorplex across March 5-6. ![]()
