Nakedbike - Race Three

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

  • 1049 - Robbie Phillis out of the race with machinery dramas on his nearly three decade old Suzuki. Charlton a convincing winner, Cartwright second by only a couple of bike lengths over McMartin, Kruck fourth then it was Roe, Odendaal, Houwen, Buxton, Sutton, Corpe, Wolfenden, Webster, Johnston.  Supersport up next!
  • 1048 - Robbie Phillis might have some machinery problems
  • 1047 - McMartin all over Cartwright in the tight sections but once he hits the straights he just pulls away from the Ducati hand over fist, that FZ-1 obscenely fast in a straight line
  • 1046 - McMartin closing on Cartwright but Charlton has the win in the bag if he makes no mistakes
  • 1045 - Adrian Pierpoint has crashed at turn 11 but walked away unscathed
  • 1044 - Josh Houwen on the FZ6 doing very well to be running seventh overall just ahead of Phillips and within striking distance of Odendaal on the 1130 Benelli
  • 1043 - Cartwright a 26.026 now, but Charlton only a tenth slower so Cartwright will need to do better to challenge for the win, this pair have left McMartin behind, Kruck a further 3 seconds behind McMartin, Roe fifth
  • 1042 - Charlton leads Cartwright by 1.2 seconds and the pair running identical times but Cartwright will have the hammer down to try and chase him down.. Phillis the leading Forgotton Era bike and eighth overall, circulating around four seconds a lap slower than the front running current model FZ1 Yamahas
  • 1041 - Roly Kruck doing a better job today and not that far behind McMartin
  • 1039 - Cartwright putting pressure on McMartin, he has a huge power advantage over the Ducati. Scott Charlton out in front still though and said to be running a standard engine this weekend. Cartwright in front of Martin now and chasing Charlton but he has some ground to make up...
  • 1038 - Nakedbikes/Twins/Forgotten Era mismatch of machinery on track now for their first race of the morning, Charlton away best with McMartin right on his tail.
