Australian riders lined up against an outstanding International field of riders from Russia, New Zealand, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands, The Philippines, South Africa, Germany, and Switzerland.
Australia's own Omnium World Champion, Michael Freiberg, won the Champion of WA Open Elimination and came second in the fast and physical men's point score.
German female endurance rider Charlotte Becker won the women's points score and the scratch race and – resulting in being awarded the Ride of the Night medallion.
The Swiss male riders dominated the scratch finals.
Teun Mulder from The Netherlands won the men's kieran final, with Australia's Jason Niblett coming third in the race which included Japanese track superstar and men's sprint final winner Kazunari Watanabe.
Event Organiser and Track Cycling WA Chairman Murray Hall said the event could not have been better, with riders enjoying great support from the crowd support and event partners and sponsors.
The Dutch, German and Swiss teams will stay on in Perth for the next week in preparation World Championships.
