ROAD TO NATIONALS | GEOFF “DUCKY” DUCKWORTH 🏁

One of IPRAWA’s longest-standing members, Geoff Duckworth is one of the most highly regarded people in our Improved Production community and across WA motorsport.

If he’s not behind the wheel on race day, you can almost guarantee he’ll be trackside helping another competitor, assisting around the paddock or jumping into the safety car.

Ducky has completed more Observed Driving Tests for our drivers than we could probably count and continues to play a huge role in welcoming and supporting competitors coming through the category. He is also a highly valued member of the IPRAWA committee and someone who has given an enormous amount back to the sport over the years.

For the 2026 Bridgestone Improved Production Nationals, Ducky will be stepping into Craig Poole’s newly acquired #5 VN Commodore a car that has already proven itself as a front runner around Australia.

Put an experienced racer like Ducky behind the wheel of a proven package and things could get very interesting.

Look out front runners Ducky will be one to watch at this year’s Nationals. 👀🏁

🏁 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT – TRP DUCTWORK 🏁

Today we’re putting the spotlight on TRP Ductwork, our Major Category Sponsor for the 2026 IPRAWA Championship and the 2026 Improved Production Nationals.

TRP’s support of Improved Production goes well beyond sponsorship. Craig and Adam Poole are both avid Improved Production racers, regular and very welcome faces in the paddock, and a huge part of our racing community.

Adam also comes into this year carrying a pretty handy title — current Improved Production Nationals winner 🏆 — while Craig continues to campaign the unmistakable #25 Torana here in WA.

Behind the racing is a business with some serious history.

TRP Ductwork specialises in the manufacture and installation of HVAC ductwork for the commercial building industry, with manufacturing facilities in both Western Australia and South Australia. With generations of experience behind the business, TRP has the capability to manufacture, deliver and install ductwork for major commercial and industrial projects across both states.

Their work has been involved in some significant WA projects, including Perth Children’s Hospital, Fiona Stanley Hospital, Kings Square, QEII and Joondalup Health Campus.

Quality, value and performance are at the centre of what TRP do — values that fit pretty well with motorsport too.

We are incredibly grateful to have TRP Ductwork behind IPRAWA for the entire 2026 season and stepping up again as a major supporter of our Nationals.

Thank you Craig, Adam and the entire TRP team for continuing to back Improved Production racing in WA. 🏁

TRP Ductwork — proudly supporting the 2026 IPRAWA Championship & Improved Production Nationals.

🏁 SPONSOR SHOUT OUT – MENDES RACE ENGINES 🏁

We’re proud to have Mendes Race Engines come on board to support the 2026 Improved Production Nationals.

Not only are they backing the event, they’ve also been putting in the work behind the scenes helping get some of our members’ cars back together and ready to make the Nationals grid, exactly the kind of support that means a lot to our club.

📍 Based in Port Kennedy, WA
With more than 30 years of engine building and mechanical experience, Nuno brings a huge amount of hands-on knowledge to everything that comes through the workshop.

Mendes Race Engines offers:
• Engine building & rebuilds
• Performance upgrades
• Purpose-built race engine packages
• Diagnostics & tuning
• Fabrication
• Race car setup
• General mechanical work

And importantly they don’t just build race engines, they race them too. That track experience feeds straight back into the workshop, with combinations continually developed, tested and improved in real racing conditions.

From road cars through to serious competition builds, everything is tailored around the customer, the car and what they want to achieve.

A massive thank you to Nuno and Mendes Race Engines for supporting our Nationals and helping get more cars back on track for October. 🏁🔧
