Supersport - Race One

Unedited transcript from our live notes page that was run during the event

• 1132 - A new race lap record I believe to Jamie, a 1m33.989 on lap two. Track temperature in the mid 40s C
• 1128 - Jamie takes first blood for 2007, Jason second, Jeremy Crowe third to keep the Yamaha 1-2-3 form going into this new season. The fresh new CBR600RRs are proving to have good speed despite being in only the initial stages of development with Staring taking fourth followed home by Waters, Greedy, Henderson, Jones, Holland and Kelly rounds out the top ten
• 1127 - Jamie is going to do it...
• 1126 - As they get the last lap board the gap between Jamie and Jason down to 0.682 so Jason will have to put in a cracker if he is to challenge late on this last lap...
• 1125 - Jamie and Jason ran near identical times on that lap the gap now 0.690 of a second with two laps to run
• 1124 - Henderson and Jones now at the head of that battle for seventh place
• 1123 - The gap down to only 7-tenths now...
• 1121 - That battle over seventh place still going on in earnest and providing the best action for the spectators
• 1119 - Jamie and Jason ran nearly identical times on that last lap so the gap is maintaining at 1.4 seconds now...
• 1118 - With seven laps to run the state of affairs is

1 1 Jamie STAUFFER Yamaha R6
2 3 Jason O'HALLORAN Yamaha R6 1.411
3 4 Jeremy CROWE Yamaha R6 2.978
4 67 Bryan STARING Honda CBR 6.432

• 1116 - Jason O'Halloran really putting in a big effort to chase down Jamie, the gap had grown but Jason has it back down to 1.6 seconds now, will be interesting to see if Jamie responds as there is still plenty of laps for Jason to close him down
• 1115 - A busy gaggle of riders tussling over seventh place with Kelly, Henderson, Jones, Holland and Johnson the protagonists
• 1114 - Staring ahead of Greedy to take fourth place but he has a big job ahead of him if he is going to chase down any of the Yamaha men for a podium
• 1113 - Zac Davies slips out of the race but is up unhurt
• 1112 - Jamie getting away now, he leads by 1.4 seconds and in turn O'Halloran has a full second buffer over Crowe to complete the Yamaha 1-2-3.  Greedy coming under attack from Staring with the Honda men running fourth and fifth
• 1111 - Waters on the spare bike in sixth place and fending off challenges from Zac Davies
• 1110 - Crowe attacking Greedy, now he goes through so Crowe up to third.  O'Halloran trying to hang on to Jamie and getting well out of shape in his efforts to do so
• 1109 - Jamie leading the way from O'Halloran, Greedy and Crowe, Staring not far behind also as they come around turn nine but Jamie starting to escape already
• 1108 - And they're off!  The Yamaha men away well, Judd Greedy got away well and in to third place at turn two
• 1105 - Supersport men on their warm up lap now
