The second event I covered this weekend was the opening night of the Perth Motorplex's National Open drag racing season. A massive 217 cars entered for this event, including 19 SuperCharged Outlaws and 9 Top Comp cars. Lindsay Catalano returned to racing after spending a large portion of last season rebuilding the car to work with the new rules, which now allow SuperCharged Outlaw sedans to run 6.50 seconds. Lindsay's opening pass was a 6.765, and by the end of the night the team had run a 6.531 second pass. Rob and Jackie Pilkington's Monte Carlo bodied Funny Car was ready for action, after the team licensed the car late last season, and Rob got the car down the quarter mile in 6.003 seconds on his last pass of the night, winning the Top Comp B Final in the process. Junior Dragster was an all girl final, with Amy Kennedy taking the win over Nicole Adamos.
