Round 1
The Hurricane blew into Perth on Friday night and blew away the field. Obliterating the existing track record track record of 13.710, now he has a new mark of 13.170, knocking over half a second off the books.
Hannagan was second in the dash. no report yet on the rest of the field.
In the feature he started up front one lap down because he
runs a 372 motor. Those cars have to go around catch the pack and
pass all 360's in order to win.
He said it was hard but he did it (Did we ever have a doubt, ok
so Im biased, lol). Brad Furr was second, local Aussie midget
pilot Figliomeni was third and Losaski was fourth.
Here is the official run down:
By Ken Brown
Randy ‘The Hurricane’ Hannagan demolished his opponents
during round 1 of the 19th annual Western Australian Sprintcar
Speedweek at the Claremont Speedway on January 7. The San Jose,
California based Hannagan set fast time in the 28 strong field
with a 13.90 second circulation of the 520 metre dirt oval.
He finished as the highest qualifier following a third and a sixth in the heat races - both from the backmark. Hannagan was downed by local hero Mark Wells in the final of the pole shuffle - and started from the outside of the front row in the 25-lap main. In a rather confusing format, the ‘open’ sprintcars (372 cu.in.) led the field away but were in fact starting a lap behind the ‘360’ machines. Aided by several red light periods, Hannagan charged through the field in brilliant fashion. He actually had shot up to second spot behind local midget ace Mike Figliomeni by lap 13 only to have a red flag come out and force the American back into fourth spot at the restart. It mattered little as Hannagan flew around the outside of the opposition and clocked the fastest lap time ever witnessed at the circuit (13.14 seconds) on his way to a comfortable victory.
Fellow Californian Brad Furr made a last-lap charge up to finish second ahead of Figliomeni and 1998 Knoxville Nationals victor Danny Lasoski. One of the biggest crowds of the season was on hand to witness the first round of the annual "U.S. Versus US" showdown. The Americans were the twentieth, twenty-first and twenty-second to run against the clock with Hannagan wheeling his #1X Hurricane around the circuit in 13.99 seconds. Then the electronic time-clock failed to show a time for his second effort and he was given another shot at the rear - and recorded a 13.90 second run. The track record is 13.77 set two years ago by local ace Ron Krikke. Lasoski - who last raced here back in 1987 - was timed at 14.12 seconds in his #83 Eagle, with young Brad Furr impressing his his first run at Claremont with a 14.35 second effort aboard his #2 Eagle.
The first 8-lap heat saw Furr start from position 12 with Hannagan coming out of 13. Rod Howe kept out in front of Gavin Migro and Rob Holmes with Hannagan coming in sixth and Furr ninth. Former two-times Australian Champion Ron Krikke blasted his #95 Maxim from position 10 in heat 2 and hit the front with a couple of laps remaining. Mark Wells came from position 11 to finish second ahead of Luch Monte. Lasoski went from 12 to gain sixth spot at the flag. Third heat saw Damien Temperton set the pace over Martin Horobin with Furr flashing up to a creditable third after coming out of position 9. The crowd erupted during heat 4 when Danny Lasoski showed his class by flying around the outside of the leading trio in an amazing couple of laps. The ‘Dude’ had started from position 11 and downed Rod Howe and the fast finishing Hannagan (13) in a great spectacle of world class dirt-track action.
Top six pointscorers engaged in a ‘Pole Shuffle’ - a 2-lap match race in which the loser is eliminated. First up, 19 year old Jamie Maiolo eliminated six-times Speedweek victor Ron Krikke, only to go down to Mark Wells. Then Wells thrilled the parochial crowd by beating Furr, Lasoski and Hannagan in successive heats - although it must be stated that a couple of the starts were a little dubious.
Twenty-two cars lined up for the main event - and following the traditional four-wide salute it was down to business. As stated before it looked as though Wells was leading Hannagan, Lasoski and Furr at the green, when in actual fact it was Mike Figliomeni in command over Mick Goode, Gavin Migro and the rest of the ‘360’ brigade. On lap 6 Allan Nash slammed into the fence on Pits Bend, bringing on the red lights - and actually assisting the ‘guns’ to make up some ground. Again Figliomeni set the pace in his own design Fighter chassis #34 machine, with Wells the best of the ‘open’ cars in 11th spot. Deep in the pack Hannagan got around Wells in heavy traffic and then the reds came on again after Monte came to a halt. Lining up after completing 11 laps, Hannagan was doing it best in fifth place, with Wells 7th, Lasoski 8th and Furr 10th. Hannagan looked the goods as he flew by Migro for third and then charged around the rookie Goode down the back straight. But the reds came on straight afterwards when Todd Kenworthy rolled onto his side. Hannagan was forced to go back to fourth - but not for long - as he did it all over again in great style. After hitting the front Hannagan reeled off a 13.91 second lap then stopped the clock at 13.17 seconds on lap 16. Everybody present thought the clock had malfunctioned - including this writer - but a quick check with the operator revealed it was working perfectly. And so was Hannagan and his machine. Two years ago the Californian had wowed the fans with his 13.71 second fastest lap during a race - now he had blown them away completely. Needless to say at this pace he cleared right out from Figliomeni while third placed Migro was battling to keep Lasoski at bay. Another couple of cautions followed - the second occurring after Ron Krikke shed his inside front wheel at the start-finish line after tangling with Pino Priolo. The local hope was sidelined with Priolo shown the protest flag. Two remained with Hannagan lining up in front of the gallant ‘360’ pilot Figliomeni (he won two BCRA midget mains in California last August, so ‘Figs’ can drive!), Lasoski, Furr and Maiolo. Hannagan bolted and was clocked at an incredible 13.14 seconds during his final lap as he went on to record an amazing victory. Furr flew around the outside to grab second spot off Figliomeni and Lasoski, with Priolo, Jamie Moon, Jamie Maiolo, Phil Pack and Martin Horobin further back. Hannagan’s win was his fifth at Claremont, making him the winningest American sprintcar driver at the track - one ahead of Rocky Hodges and the late Marshall Sargent.

Round 2
HOMETOWN WIN TO KRIKKE
By Ken Brown
Local hero Ron Krikke stormed to victory in the second round of
the annual Western Australian Sprintcar Speedweek series at the
Bunbury City & Regional Raceway on Saturday January 8. Second
man home was Mark Wells ahead of Californians Randy Hannagan and
Brad Furr. The unlucky Danny Lasoski had second spot safely in
his keeping when the motor let go in his #83 Eagle only four laps
from the finish of the event. Hannagan’s third place finish
was enough to give him a narrow lead in the series pointscore at
the half-way mark. Furr and Mike Figliomeni are the best of the
rest at this stage.
Twenty-two cars unloaded in the pits at Bunbury, which is situated two hours drive (around 170 km) south of Perth. Allan Nash wheeled out his spare machine - the #51 Schnee - after crashing his identically liveried Gambler the previous evening. Hannagan again proved to have the legs on the opposition in the time trials - recording a 14.85 second circulation around the 530 metre clayway. The track surface proved to be a bit on the rutty side and the fast time was a fair bit off the track record of 14.21 set by Kenny Jacobs back in 1995. Lasoski was second quickest with 14.94 followed by Mark Wells (15.02), Jamie Maiolo (15.15), Ron Krikke (15.52) and Pino Priolo (15.67). The unlucky Brad Farr had fuel problems with his #2 Eagle and was unable to set a time.
Rob Holmes set the pace during the first 8-lap heat in the #21 J&J from Port Hedland. Two laps from home he was rounded by Ryan Farrell. Then Wells shot to the front and won going away from Farrell, Hannagan and Krikke. Later the stewards relegated Farrell back two positions for starting out of position in a restart - so the amended result was Wells, Krikke, Hannagan (put back one spot for passing on the grass) and Holmes. Luch Monte was rounded by former speedcar driver Mick Goode in the second race. The rookie went on to win the event from the fast finishing Lasoski, Monte, Priolo, Maiolo and Furr. Straight after the start of heat 3 Goode clipped wheels with another car, slid sideways and rolled the #19 Jenkins onto its side. Monte and Holmes were soon passed by Priolo, then another halt was called when Peter Sinagra rolled onto his side on Pits Bend. Priolo led them away with Wells charging around the outside as the white flag was displayed. Later Wells was relegated two spots for starting out of position - the amended placings being Lasoski, Priolo, Wells, Farrell and Figliomeni. Heat #4 saw Todd Kenworthy hit the fence and roll on the opening lap. Kevin Couzens showed the way in the rerun until he was rounded by the impressive Hannagan. At the checker it was Hannagan over Krikke, Jamie Moon, Maiolo, Couzens and Furr.
First up in the 2-lap pole shuffle, youngster Maiolo accounted for Priolo. In the next heat he was matched up against the vastly more experienced Krikke. Coming up to the line it appeared that Krikke got off the gas - and sensationally the officials disqualified the polesitter Maiolo. The partison crowd did not agree with the decision to out the Myalup teenager and made their feelings known. All was forgotten in the next heat when Krikke and Wells engaged in an enthralling wheel to wheel dice throughout the entire 2-lap journey. Krikke just got up on the outside as they flashed across the line in a classic encounter. Hannagan then eliminated the local hope and lined up against Lasoski in the final. This event was another beauty that will be remembered for a long time as the two World of Outlaws stars battled it out side by side in another tremendous display. Down the back straight for the final time Lasoski pulled away and Hannagan slowed his machine, pulling onto the infield.
A field of eighteen cars took the green - with ‘360’ pilot Mike Figliomeni actually in the race lead. The battle of the ‘guns’ saw Lasoski in front of Hannagan, who slid out wide exiting turn #2 and was passed by both Wells and Krikke. Up front it was Figliomeni over Goode, Grant Bevan and Monte. The fired up Krikke was slicing his way through the field - moving up to fourth after charging around three cars along the main straight. By lap 11 he was up to second and took over the front spot on the very next circuit. Lasoski followed him through, relegating Figliomeni back to third, with Wells, Hannagan and Furr further back. Then Wells wrested third place from Figliomeni and the flying Californians did likewise soon afterwards. Lasoski looked like he was closing on the race leader Krikke in traffic, only to head for the grass when his motor let go just four laps from the finish. Krikke crossed the line for a great hometown victory over Wells, Hannagan, Furr, Maiolo, Figliomeni, Nash, Farrell, Priolo and Moon. Time for the flag to flag event was 6:48.26 - well outside Krikke’s own record for the distance.
Mid-way through the Speedweek series the closely contested pointscore reads as follows:- 1. Randy Hannagan 198, 2. Brad Furr 196, 3. Mike Figliomeni 193, 4. Jamie Maiolo 192, 5. Jamie Moon 186, 6. Pino Priolo 185. Courtesy of a DNF, well back in the field are fancied contenders Ron Krikke 175, Mark Wells 174 and Danny Lasoski 172.

Round 3

Round 4
WHAT A WEEKEND!!
By Ken Brown
In the most exciting finish ever to a Western Australian
Sprintcar Speedweek series, Randy Hannagan was declared the
winner on a countback from Brad Furr. Local Mark Wells won the
final feature at Claremont over Furr, Ryan Farrell and Hannagan,
who spun on the last turn in a desperate lunge for the lead. The
unlucky Danny Lasoski again blew his motor while leading the
event with only four laps remaining. Unseasonal rain forced the
scheduled Friday meeting at Claremont back to Monday evening,
while Bunbury was washed out on both Saturday and Sunday nights -
and finally abandoned
So the series climaxed at Claremont on Monday January 17 when a total of 22 cars ran against the clock on a balmy summer evening. For the third time in succession it was the San Jose, Californian Randy Hannagan who set fast time - on this occasion his sizzling 13.66 second lap around the 520 metre dirt oval broke the two-year old qualifying record of 13.77 established by local ace Ron Krikke. Danny Lasoski was the only other competitor to break the 14-second barrier with his 13.95 second circulation - and the ‘Dude’ was in fact only the third driver out onto the track, while Hannagan and most of the other ‘top 10’ times were set late in the session. Youngster Brad Furr continued to impress with a 14.27 second lap for third spot ahead of locals Jamie Maiolo (14.28), Mark Wells (14.56) and Ron Krikke (14.59).
The opening 8-lap heat was halted after a first lap tangle on Pits Bend. Hannagan spun to avoid the melee but suffered damage to the front axle of his #1X Hurricane and was towed back into the pits. In the rerun Mark Wells powered around the outside of the field and was never headed. Furr shot up to second but could not peg back the race leader. A long way back in third was Wayne Russell followed by Mike Figliomeni, Allan Nash and Darren Mewett.
Heat 2 will be talked about for a long, long time. It provided one of those classic perfomances that you had to be present to fully appreciate. Phil Johnson set the pace, but all eyes were on the #83 machine as Lasoski made his run from position 10. The World of Outlaws star maintained a high line - rarely seen at Claremont - and just powered around the opposition in magnificent fashion. By lap 5 he raced around Johnson down the main straight and won easily. Phil Pack crossed the line in third spot ahead of Pino Priolo and Ron Krikke.
Heat #3 again saw Johnson showing the way until he was clipped by Gavin Migro as he attempted a pass. Johnson’s #14 Murphy veered into the safety fence and rolled several times. During his frightening excursion his helmet was actually torn off his head - but luckily he was not seriously hurt. The rerun saw Priolo, Wells and Hannagan get by Migro over the final 4 laps. Ryan Farrell shot straight into the lead during heat 4 and kept out in front of the fast finishing Furr, Lasoski, Krikke and Jamie Moon.
The top six pointscorers on the night engaged in a 2-lap ‘Pole Shuffle’ series. Priolo accounted for Farrell and Wells in the first two heats, then went down to Hannagan - whose 2-lap time of 27.35 seconds was a new track record - lowerng his own previous mark by 0.34 of a second. Then Hannagan dropped the benchmark down even further (27.32) when he eliminated Furr in the next heat.
The final heat saw Lasoski beat Hannagan in a time of 27.47 seconds.
Nineteen cars took the green in the 25-lap feature with the consistent Figliomeni heading the ‘360’ brigade, while it was Hannagan who started better than Lasoski, Furr and Wells at the rear of the field. On lap 4 Lasoski charged around Hannagan as they lapped a slower competitor. Then Luch Monte spun exiting Fowlhouse Corner causing Lasoski to slow and veer up against the wall as he got past the stationary vehicle. Nineteen remained as midget supremo Figliomeni headed Phil Pack, Allan Nash and Migro. Lasoski was back in seventh with Hannagan, Furr, Wells, Krikke and Farrell right on his tail. Within a couple of laps Lasoski had raced up to second while further back Hannagan clipped the fence and lost a couple of spots. Then Lasoski charged into the lead with Wells moving up to second followed by Hannagan, Krikke, Furr and Farrell. Race leader Lasoski had opened up a substantial lead over Wells who was being closely tailed by Hannagan, with Furr getting back around Krikke for fourth place. The caution lights came on again after Nash slid sideways at the end of the back straight. Krikke came to a halt when a coil lead came adrift on his #95 Maxim and he was pushed onto the grass. Seven remained as Lasoski again set the pace over Wells, with Hanngan and Furr swapping places in a furious dice for the minor placings. Then disaster struck as Lasoski slowed with a blown motor only four laps from the finish. Wells and Hannagan charged either side of a slower car down the back straight but the local hero was able to maintain a slight advantage. Exiting the final corner Hannagan attempted an inside pass only to slide sideways and spin. He was able to continue and crossed the line in fourth position behind Wells, Furr and Farrell. Back in fifth was Figliomeni ahead of Moon, Maiolo, Priolo, Migro, Jeremy Warren, Luch Monte, Wayne Russell and Brett Searle.
A quick tally of the points revealed that both Hanngan and Furr had tied on 295 points, but the series was awarded to Hannagan due to his race win in the first round. Third overall was Figliomeni from Maiolo, Moon, Priolo and Wells. Lasoski filled eleventh position with 247 points. No doubt about it, the visiting American trio turned on action unsurpassed at the histric Claremont venue, and all present would have no doubt that they had witnessed sprintcar racing of the highest order.
