Superstock - Race Three

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

• 1030 - Cowie now the new series leader with 114 points to Henry's 107, Carr on 106, Reid on 97 and Hern on 94.  A costly morning for some of the front runners with machinery problems costing them a lot of points
• 1026 - Cowie takes a convincing victory in what was a race of attrition. Carr second a huge 8.3 seconds down on Cowie while Michael Riddle scores a podium, next home was Des Darby on fourth followed by Reid, Nicholson, Scott, Keevers, Bonthorne, Middleton, Chapman, Adams, Madigan, Anset, Wootton, Harding
• 1023 - Cowie has this one in the bag unless Carr can really up the ante but Cowie still the fastest man, a 28.993 on the previous lap and Carr could only come back with a 29.44, the difference between the duo out to over three seconds now
• 1021 - Ben Henry has dramas also, his Suzuki has let him down also.  This could be a race of attrition... Scott Yates also dramas and rolling to a stop out of fifth place...!  This is unbelievable, modern motorcycles, especially supposedly 'stock' ones hardly ever fail!
• 1020 - Charles Hern sits up and turns around to look down at his Yamaha, something has come adrift or the fire has gone out but his race is run so the new race leader is Tim Cowie, he leads by 1.5 seconds over Carr who in turn has just stretched his buffer over Henry out to 2.1 seconds. Cowie the fastest man on the track that last lap with a 29.072
• 1018 - Matthew Griffin just outbraked himself while running in seventh place and lost a few places as a result. Henry is going to have his work cut out for him if he is to get a podium in this bout, he is running fourth but has 1.5 seconds to catch up to third placed Carr and they were both put in identical 1m29.7s on that last lap so Henry making no headway into the gap as yet
• 1017 - Ben Henry ran off the track, he did manage to rejoin but lost a lot of ground on the leading trio, nearly 3 seconds in fact the loss to the WA rider. Hern leading by half a second over Cowie and Brayden Carr not able to match their pace and losing touch with that duo. Cowie chasing Hern hard
• 1016 - Hern put in a great opening lap to stretch out a lead of nearly half a second over Cowie who in turn had a few tenths on Carr who had Ben Henry on his tail, Yates 5th, Riddle 6th.
• 1015 - Superstock Race away again now and it is Charles Hern that leads them through turn one ahead of Cowie and Carr while Ben Henry again fails to get a great run off the line.
