Race One
Unedited transcript from our live notes page that was run during
the event
- 1440 - We have heard no
word spoken about the possibility of Jamie passing under a
yellow flag early in that race so we can perhaps take that
as a non issue. Provisional Results from Superbike
Race One
- Dan Stauffer
- Jamie Stauffer 4.08
- Shawn Giles 6.61
- Glenn Allerton 7.76
- Scott Charlton 9.14
- Wayne Maxwell 15.55
- Robert Bugden 18.19

- Brent Sidwell 1 lap

- 1438 - Dan a dominant
winner to break Jamie's long string of wins, Jamie second,
Giles third, Allerton fourth, Charlton a well ridden fifth,
Maxwell sixth, Bugden seventh, Staring eighth, Johnson
ninth, Coxhell tenth, Holland eleventh, Fergusson twelfth
- 1437 - Giles looks safe
for third... Shannon Johnson making a charge on Staring to
try and steal eighth on this final circuit, Bugden just in
front of that pair and also under threat...
- 1436 - Giles looks to have
the late race pace to make that final step on the podium
his, only two laps to run. All remaining races today will be
shortened by two laps for the minor classes and three laps
less for the Supersport and Superbike classes
- 1434 - Dan leads by 4
seconds now, Jamie a safe second place 6 seconds ahead of
Giles. Allerton struggling to challenge Giles for that
third place as the Suzuki man responds to the challenge and
increases his buffer, Charlton a few bike lengths further
behind
- 1432 - Coxhell through on
Maxwell for sixth place now.... But then into turn one he
out brakes himself and has to run on... Coxhell drops down
to around tenth place due to that mistake
- 1431 - Giles was held up
by lapped traffic on the entry to the tight back trio of
turns which allows Allerton to close right on his tail...
Charlton with him, that trio running virtually nose to tail
now...
- 1430 - Dan now leads by
3.14 seconds over Jamie. Allerton reduces the gap to Giles
again, Charlton no far behind that pair. The Yamaha
1-2 is almost certain but the final step on the podium will
see a hectic battle unfold in the final laps. Six laps to
run...
- 1428 - Gilesy managed to
pull out a couple of bike lengths over Allerton that time
around after putting in his fastest lap of the race thus far
and the effort is obvious with his body language on the
GSX-R. Staring has got ahead of Holland to move up to ninth
place. Coxhell is closing on Maxwell to challenge for sixth
place
- 1427 - Dan increases his
buffer to 2.7 seconds. Allerton only 3-tenths from Giles
now...
- 1425 - Dan maintaining his
2.5 second lead over Jamie. Allerton again marginally
quicker than Giles, the gap down to 8-tenths, Charlton
coming with Allerton. Coxhell and Bugden tussling hard over
seventh place while Wayne Maxwell has some breathing space
in sixth
- 1424 - 10 laps to run and
the order is Dan, Jamie, Shawn Giles, Glenn Allerton, Scott
Charlton, Wayne Maxwell, Craig Coxhell, Robbie Bugden,
Russell Holland, Shannon Johnson, Bryan Staring, Adam
Fergusson, Michael Fraser
- 1423 - 22.7 to both Yamaha
men this time around, Dan responding to Jamie's challenge
and matching him lap for lap to maintain his 2.5 second
lead. Allerton again quicker than Giles to reduce the margin
to 1.2 seconds
- 1422 - Dan and Jamie both
ran 23.0 on that last lap, the gap between them 2.5
seconds... 12 laps to run.. Allerton 1.7 seconds behind
Giles but Allerton 3-tenths quicker on that last lap and
closing, Charlton perhaps coming with him also
- 1421 - Wayne Maxwell
showing some great form, just got past Holland and Coxhell
in the space of a single lap
- 1419 - Jamie trying to put
a pass on Giles, the Yamaha has great acceleration off the
tight turn onto the second last straight and that gives him
the run on Giles and takes second place. Jamie immediately
pulls away from Giles as though he was standing still!
- 1418 - Allerton gets the
better of Holland to move up to fifth place. Jamie the
quickest man on the track now with a 23.1 to close to within
striking distance of Giles. Allerton all over Coxhell
now...
- 1417 - Dan Stauffer a
23.45 on lap two, Jamie also in the 23s with a 23.83, Giles
in second place put down a 24.05. Race order now is
Dan, Shawn, Jamie, Craig, Russell, Glenn, Shannon
- 1416 - Jamie Stauffer has
possible undertaken under a yellow flag, some uncertainty...
Anthony Gobert runs on at turn one but remains upright.
Jamie through on Coxhell now to move up to third position.
Dan getting away from Shawn now, Jamie looking to make his
way forward to continue the Yamaha 1-2 form from round one
- 1415 - Dan Stauffer to the
lead now, Dan and Gilesy breaking away from Coxhell and
Holland
- 1414 - Gilesy gets the
holeshot! Coxhell launches well too to shoot straight
up to third place, Dan Stauffer second. Matt Battista
down at turn one
- 1413 - Superbikes getting
ready for a race start
