We are excited to announce we have a brand new track for our August event and entries are now open!
The WAORRA, Cochrane’s Transport Mid-West Challenge will take place over the weekend of 19-20 August 2017. It will be Round 4 of the 2017 CAMS, Carnarvon Motel Western Australian Off-Road Racing Championship and Round 3 of the WAORRA Club Championship Series.
Round 3 of the 2017 CAMS, Carnarvon Motel, Western Australian Off-Road Racing Championship, and Round 2 of the 2017 WAORRA Club Championship Series, took place over the WA Day long weekend (3-4 June 2017).
One of the fastest tracks in Western Australia, the Marsue Transport Bencubbin 400 saw 39 competitors start from the sports oval in the town of Bencubbin and cover land across several farming properties. As always, it was a tough, gruelling, but fast long course off-road racing track that consisted of a minor course of 25 kilometres plus a main course of 75 kilometres. The track comprised some tight twisty sections among the sandalwood trees, and some high-speed paddock sections. The fast sections were interspersed with several tighter sections to keep the drivers honest. At the end of Sunday’s racing, 14 cars crossed the finish line completing all five laps.
Congratulations to Harleigh Uren (77), Nathaniel Edwards, Luke McLean and Charlie Edwards (161), and Jared Percival and Darren Beckett (119) for taking out the podium positions. You can read the full race report on the WAORC website.
With catering, a licensed bar, hot showers, clean toilets, a green sporting oval, a playground, and lots of spectator points including a run on the road in front of the Bencubbin Primary School, spectators and families had a great time too.
A huge thank you goes out to our event sponsors:

Round 1 of the 2017 WAORRA Championship Series kicked off with the 2017 Duke of York Hotel Narrogin Chase in Cuballing on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 May.
In a similar format to previous years, the Narrogin Chase was a multi-club, short-course event that covered approx 135km, consisting of three laps of the 15km course on Saturday and 6 laps on Sunday. With two-at-a-time starts, the field split into two heats, and a spectator viewing area up on the hill allowing 360 degree views of the race track, this was a great event for spectators and families.
Scrutiny and documentation was held at Elders Narrogin on Saturday 6 May, followed by a short street display of all of the race cars, a great opportunity for locals to check out what it’s all about!
Congratulations to Short Course Champion Harleigh Uren who took out first place, Nathaniel Edwards and Luke Mclean in second, and Shane and Curt Elphinstone in third.
There were plenty more success stories throughout the field, with 22 competitors finishing the event in full. For the complete report on lap times and results, head to the myraceresult webpage or check out the event wrap-up article on our website.
