Kodee Brown would be left frustrated with his performance at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night, despite picking up third place for the second event in a row.

The third round of the BGC Late Model Pro Dirt Series which doubled as the King of Kwinana, was witnessed by another very big crowd at the Motorplex, with Brown managing a third and a fourth placing in his heats, providing Brown with a second row start along side National Champion, Kye Blight, with Ryan Halliday and Brad Blake occupying the front row.

The race was a protracted one, perpetuated by stoppages including one on the opening lap, when Matt Nylander spun on the opening turn.

Halliday again led the field away at the second attempt, with Blight, Blake and Brown chasing hard, with a crash involving Willy Powell and Laura Byrnes in turn four bunching the field again.

Upon the resumption, Brown was unable to keep the pace of the lead trio and in-turn came under pressure from Ken McPherson, who passed Brown on lap four to move to fourth, as Warren Oldfield then started to make life uncomfortable for Brown as well.

David Nylander then found himself stuck on the wall on lap five on the back straight, bringing on the cautions again, enabling Brown an opportunity on the resultant restart.

Brown would be aided further soon after, when Daniel Ameduri and Paul Stubber made contact, ultimately seeing both retire, Michael Holmes went up in a ball of smoke, while Matt Amato lost a wheel on the back straight, causing a further caution, at which time, Kye Blight also retired, leaving not many cars on track, still with twenty one laps remaining.

Brown would get the better of McPherson on the resumption, moving back to third, as Halliday and Blake drove into the distance yet again. Brown was involved in a great battle with McPherson and Warren Oldfield, but Brown eventually got the upper hand in the concluding stages to finish third, half a lap behind Halliday and Blake.

“We started alright, but we were junk after that”, said a frustrated Brown after the event.

“We will pull her down, and go back to the drawing board and try again”, he added

Brown will be back on track on Saturday 5 December 2020, again at the Perth Motorplex with the John Day Classic.
