ROAD TO NATIONALS | ADAM POOLE πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί1️⃣ South Austra ROAD TO NATIONALS | ADAM POOLE πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί1️⃣

South Australia’s Adam Poole is making a serious run at October β€” first taking on Phillip Island, then heading west to Wanneroo Raceway for the 2026 IPRA Nationals.

Behind the wheel of his 6.0L V8 Holden Monaro, Adam arrives as the current Australian National Champion, carrying the AUS #1 and looking to defend the title in WA.

Adam has been racing for 9 years and is also Director of TRP Ductwork, one of our valued Nationals sponsors. He’ll be joined in Perth by cousin Craig Poole, who’ll be lining up in the Torana.

And there’s another reason to get a close look at this Monaro while it’s here πŸ‘€

It’s officially FOR SALE.

So if you’ve ever wanted the chance to own a proven, National-title-winning Improved Production car, make sure you come and check it out at Wanneroo.

ROAD TO NATIONALS β€” MATT CHERRY #44 🏁 A familiar ROAD TO NATIONALS β€” MATT CHERRY #44 🏁

A familiar name at the front of the Improved Production field, Matt Cherry brings 27 years of racing experience to the 2026 Bridgestone Improved Production Nationals.

Matt has raced across go-karts, Formula Ford, Production Cars, Street Cars, Tarmac Sprints and Improved Production, joining IP in 2020. His 2006 6.0L Holden Monaro CV8 was built by Racing Dynamics in 2009 from a brand-new body shell.

His career includes National and State Championships in Junior Go-Karts, National and State Improved Production titles, competing in the Bathurst 6 Hour, three Darwin Triple Crown wins and three wins at Bathurst. He’s also competed at Nationals around the country, including Darwin, Phillip Island, Morgan Park, Baskerville and The Bend.

And at MotorMall Wanneroo Raceway, Matt already owns one of the benchmarks everyone will be chasing.

Matt holds the longstanding Group 3J Improved Production 3001–6000cc lap record, setting a 60.4662-second lap in the #44 Monaro.

Behind the #44 Racing Dynamics Monaro, Cade Bell and Brad Searle are part of the team helping keep it on track.

Now it’s back to Matt’s home circuit for the 2026 Bridgestone Improved Production Nationals. πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ

ROAD TO NATIONALS β€” MARK GARNETT πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί South Austral ROAD TO NATIONALS β€” MARK GARNETT πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί

South Australia’s Mark Garnett is one of the newer faces in Improved Production, having only made the move into the category around 12 months ago β€” but he’s already making his presence known.

Mark is currently sitting second in the South Australian championship, a pretty solid start to his Improved Production career.

Motorsport has been part of Mark’s life for a long time though. Before making the switch to circuit racing, he spent nine years racing motocross through his teenage years and early 20s, as well as four years competing in go-karts.

Now the focus is firmly on the #94 Silvia and the trip west to Wanneroo.

From South Australia to WA, Mark joins the field for the 2026 Bridgestone Improved Production Nationals β€” and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do when the interstate battle gets underway.

🏁 IPRAWA CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 6 β€” DONE & DUSTED Aft 🏁 IPRAWA CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 6 β€” DONE & DUSTED

After a ten-week break, it was great to have a strong field back at Motormall Wanneroo Raceway for our final championship round before Nationals.

Qualifying saw Matt Cherry set the pace in the V8 Monaro with a 60-second lap, followed by Jack Clohessy in the WRX, Steve Turpin, Trent Houkamau, and Neil Pollard leading the Under 2 Litre cars with a solid 1:04. NT competitor Steve Johnstone was straight into the 1:05s on only his first few laps of Wanneroo, while Craig Poole’s TRP Ductwork Torana, Rob Landsmeer, Lachlan Cove and David Trevena rounded out a quality field.

Unfortunately Jack’s day ended early with gearbox issues.

Race 1 saw Cherry take the win ahead of Turpin and Houkamau. Johnstone finished P4, Poole P5, and Pollard recovered strongly from a spin on the cold track to finish P6 outright and first U2L. Landsmeer’s race ended early after coolant on the circuit at Turn 1 sent the 86 off track.

Race 2 was another Cherry win, with Turpin and Houkamau again completing the top three. Pollard was next, while Johnstone continued taking time out of his laps with Poole right behind. Cove was second U2L, Landsmeer worked his way back through the pack, and Trevena continued showing strong pace in the VP Commodore.

Race 3 completed a clean sweep for Cherry and secured P1 for the round. Turpin finished P2, with Houkamau taking P3 after dropping into the 1:03s. Pollard finished P4 outright and P1 U2L, Johnstone took a strong P5, Cove secured P2 U2L, and Landsmeer P3 U2L. Trevena rounded out the IP field after some good battles with the Production Cars, while the TRP Torana sat out the final race.

A few competitors had their days cut short, but with Nationals so close, the track time was hugely valuable for getting cars fine-tuned and dialled in.

🚨 AND THE BIG NEWS β€” NATIONALS ENTRIES ARE REOPENED.

We have STRICTLY 6 SPOTS AVAILABLE and with only 20 DAYS TO GO, do not sit on it because these will be snapped up.

🏁 20 days until the very first Bridgestone Improved Production Nationals comes to Motormall Wanneroo Raceway.

Will we have a WA #1? πŸ‘€ #roadtonationals #iprawa #improvedproductionracing
