in ninth but will be shuffled down the order due to a ten
second jump start penalty but she will still finish ahead of
Frost, Shields and Gerdsen while Mills will be promoted to
ninth, Olson tenth, Starkey eleventh which will put Durling
I believe twelfth

- Michael Fraser 31.92
- Brenden Gurowski 52.18
- 1655 - Jamie takes the
win, Coxhell did his best but Dan responded to the challenge
to secure yet another Yamaha 1-2, Coxhell a great third
place in a welcome return to form, Johnson fourth and
followed home by Maxwell, Giles, Bugden, Staring, Fergusson,
Charlton, Allerton, Holland, Gobert, Roe, Fraser, Gurowski
- 1654 - Coxhell only
2-tenths quicker than Dan on the penultimate lap so the gap
down to 8-tenths, Coxhell will have to do something special
on this last lap...
- 1653 - Only a second
between Dan Stauffer and Craig Coxhell now and two laps to
run.. Coxhell was half a second quicker on that previous lap
so it is possible...
- 1652 - Jamie has this one
in the bag and I imagine Team Yamaha will be warning Daniel
that Coxhell is closing in on him, I am sure Daniel has
enough left in reserve to make his place safe but if he gets
surprised their could be an upset...
- 1651 - Maxwell and Bugden
tussling hard over fifth place. Coxhell only 1.6
seconds behind Dan Stauffer with three laps to run....
- 1649 - Three laps to run
and the order is Jamie, Dan, Coxhell, Johnson, Bugden,
Maxwell, Holland, Giles, Fergusson, Staring, Charlton. Only
four seconds covers the riders from third to 11th....
Coxhell has the advantage though in that group and looks a
fairly safe third place unless Johnson pulls out something
special on the Kawasaki
- 1648 - Bugden has hit the
nitrous button and passes Maxwell and Holland.... Maxwell
passes Holland now...
- 1647 - Shannon Johnson
passes Holland for fourth place. Giles could have some brake
dramas, he looks to be struggling to pull his Suzuki up
- 1646 - Shannon Johnson and
Adam Fergusson stepping up their pace now and starting to
challenge Giles... Johnson underneath the Suzuki man to take
fifth place, nothing separates the riders running
4-5-6-7-8-9, the protagonists in order
Holland/Johnson/Giles/Fergusson/Bugden/Maxwell
- 1645 - Coxhell up to third
now after squeezing past Holland. Giles right with them
also, Johnson and Fergusson not much further behind...
- 1643 - 22.119 to Jamie
this time around compared to a 22.922 to Dan, Jamie's lead
now 1.4 seconds. Holland a further 2.4 seconds behind
in third place but Coxhell all over him now...
- 1642 - 22.286 to Jamie,
just outside the lap record. Coxhell pushes Giles back to
fifth, Allerton and Fergusson right in that mix also
- 1641 - Holland up to
third.... Standby for a new race lap record from Jamie...
- 1640 - Jamie through now
though, the Yamaha duo now have nearly a second over third
placed Giles who in turn has half a second on Holland and
Coxhell
- 1639 - Jamie makes a move
on Dan around the fast left hander but runs a little wide
and Dan maintains the lead
- 1638 - Yamaha 1-2 again
now, Dan from Jamie, Giles third, Holland fourth, Coxhell
doing better in this bout and running fifth ahead of
Allerton, Fergusson, Staring, Johnson, Charlton, Bugden,
Maxwell
- 1637 - A 27.8 to Shawn
from a standing start but Dan right with him as they start
lap two... Dan gets Shawn at the entry to the tight back
section, Jamie immediately on Shawn too to make it a double
attack but Shawn holds Jamie off for now, Holland fourth
- 1636 - Gilesy away first
into turn one, Dan Stauffer second, Holland third, Jamie
Stauffer fourth, Shawn trying to make an early break...

The gap is 2.4 seconds so the win is Jason's, Jamie has
second place tied down... Waters looking to challenge Crowe
for third on this final lap... Staring has got ahead
of Holland....
- 1558 - Two laps to run now
and O'Halloran leads Jamie by 2.15 seconds, only two-tenths
separate Crowe and Waters... Staring all over the back of
Holland as that pair tussles over fifth place, Maxwell
seventh, Greedy eighth
- 1556 - Staring right on
his teammates back wheel now, four laps to run.
O'Halloran leads by 1.8 seconds over Jamie while Josh Waters
is trying hard to knock Jeremy Crowe off the podium in order
to put his Suzuki on the podium
- 1554 - Josh Waters right
on the tail of Crowe now, Waters has been putting in 24.5s
fairly consistently.
- 1552 - Jason running a
cracking pace and Jamie can't stay with him this weekend.
Crowe 1.3 seconds behind Jamie but only half a second ahead
of Waters who is showing encouraging pace on the Suzuki.
Staring is in sixth half a second behind Holland. Maxwell
and Greedy having a good battle over seventh place
- 1550 - Eight laps to run
now and Jason leads Jamie by 1.3 seconds after cracking the
lap record with a 24.120 to Jamie's 24.870. Crowe third,
Waters fourth.

- 1546 - O'Halloran leads by
7-tenths over Jamie now after putting in a 24.61, Crowe a
further 7-tenths down in third place with half a second on
fourth placed Waters. Holland fifth, Staring sixth, Maxwell
seventh, Greedy eighth
- 1545 - Staring just lost a
heap of positions as he was bounced out of the seat after
his Honda snapped sideways when putting the power on
entering the pit straight...
- 1544 - The early order is
O'Halloran, Stauffer, Crowe, Waters, Staring, Holland,
Seaton, Maxwell, Greedy, Jones.
- 1543 - This race has been
reduced to 14 laps due to the delays we have suffered today,
two riders own in this one in the tight back section but far
enough off the track just in time to prevent this race being
stopped...
- 1542 - A huge gaggle enter
turn one and all through miraculously make it through
safely, O'Halloran ahead from Stauffer and Crowe, Waters in
fourth

won the second Nakedbike race from McMartin (first Pro Twin
home), Cartwright, Roe, Odendaal, Kruck, Houwen, Buxton,
Sutton, Phillis (First Forgotten Era home), Johnston,
Webster, Pierpoint, Wolfenden, Knox, Collins
- 1510 - Henry now leads the
series on 112 points ahead of Hern (94), Cowie (89), Carr
(81), Reid (81) and Suzuki lead the manufacturers cup on a
huge 561 points to Yamaha on 346
- 1508 - Henry takes the
win! He wins by a second over Carr and Cowie while
Hern recovered to salvage fourth ahead of Nicholson, Riddle,
Reid, Yates, Durie, Darby, Roche, Griffin, Keevers, Madigan,
Anset, Chapman, Robinson, Harding
- 1506 - Charles Hern runs
straight on at turn one while challenging Carr for second
place and gets shuffled down the field a little. Henry
has broken away out in front now, last lap and unless he
makes a mistake Henry will be the winner, Cowie challenging
Carr for second place on this final lap
- 1504 - Tight battle for
the lead between Henry and Carr, Henry edged ahead but had a
near huge highside but regained his exposure without losing
too much ground... Hern third, Cowie fourth, Nicholson fifth
- 1501 - Ben Henry moving
forward to second place now but a slight possibility he
might have made one move under yellow, has happened a couple
of times here today where a green flag is shown at one flag
point while a yellow is still out at another... Confusing
for all I am sure...
- 1500 - Superstock Race Two
underway now and Brayden Carr the early leader from Tim
Cowie, Charles Hern and Ben Henry
- 1450 - The second
Superstock race got underway but half a dozen riders went

- Brenden Gurowski 58.74
- Ashley Roe 77.50
- Brent Sidwell 1 lap
- Steve Manning 1 lap
- Dennis Charlett 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
- 1329 - Apparently the
other rider caused the red flag and not Fox so Fox will keep
his second place, so Houwen the winner, Fox second,
Greentree third followed by McClue, Knox, Stafford, Ward,
Moulton, McKenzie, Olson, Shields, Frost, Mills, Magee,
Marsh, Wootton
- 1328 - Josh Houwen is the
winner however I am certain of that and second place may go
to Keith Greentree and third place to Ewan McClue
- 1326 - Jump start
penalties have also been handed down against Magee and
McKenzie. Race has been declared now, positions will go back
a lap and the rider that caused the red flag will be taken
from the result.
- 1325 - Two riders down,
one in the entrance to the tight back section and one on the
second last straight. Machines stranded in the middle of the
circuit at both locations so we have the red flag out again.
One of the fallers was second placed Jack Fox.
- 1322 - Five laps to run
and Houwen leads by 3.3 seconds over Jack Fox who in turn
has 3 seconds on Keith Greentree, Ewan McClue fourth then
Chris Knox, Joel Stafford, Peter Ward, Beau McKenzie
- 1318 - We are away again
now, Houwen the early leader. Munn fell at turn one.
- 1310 - Jade Durling one of
the riders down and we will have yet another delay to push
us even further behind schedule. The riders are okay and the
bikes now being cleared. The lunch break has been cancelled
to try and catch up some time but even then we will still be
a long way behind schedule
- 1308 - Well we didn't even
manage to complete the first lap as two riders went down at
turn one!
- 1307 - The FZ6 Cup race is
about to get underway. Josh Houwen will be a shoe in for
this one I predict as the field is very spread out in
regards to their levels of experience and skills. Some very
experienced racers out with some novices also brave enough
to put their hat in the ring to take advantage of the
attractive package being offered by Yamaha to get involved
in the new series.

- 1231 - O'Halloran crosses
the line ahead of Stauffer by a nose to take the win by
2.939 seconds on combined time, a very slow last lap by
Staring gave Stauffer second place and the Honda man takes
third. Waters fourth, Holland fifth, Crowe sixth
- 1230 - Staring looks to
have given up the chase however as he must think he is third
on combined time.... He looks to have relaxed too much and
he will lose that second place as a result I fear...
- 1229 - Last lap board and
Staring is close enough to Stauffer to be in second place on
combined time now.... O'Halloran has the win for sure but
second place is still too close to tall on combined time...
- 1227 - The top three all
running nose to tail now... O'Halloran to the lead on
the track! Up the inside of Jamie
- 1226 - O'Halloran up to
second now and Jamie has built enough of a gap over Staring
on the track to move up to second place on combined time so
we look on course for a Yamaha 1-2 now. Three laps to run...
- 1225 - Jamie through on
Staring now for the on track lead. O'Halloran all over
Staring now and the gap between the two on combined time 1.8
seconds in O'Halloran's favour
- 1222 - O'Halloran
underneath the Suzuki now to take third place on track. The
gap on combined time 1.1 seconds to O'Halloran over Staring.
Jamie Stauffer is right on the tail of Staring but on
combined time lies in third place 8-tenths behind second
placed Staring
- 1221 - O'Halloran
struggling to get past Waters also, the Suzuki looks to
perhaps have the most mumbo of all the bikes here today.
Staring the fastest man on the track, a 24.631. Only 1.2
seconds behind O'Halloran on combined time now..
- 1219 - Down the main
straight and Jamie Stauffer looks up the inside of Staring
into turn one but the Honda man holds on to the lead.
O'Halloran still leads on combined time by 1.7 seconds over
Staring
- 1218 - Waters holding off
Staring, Stauffer right there also and O'Halloran right on
his tail. Staring finally makes his move in the tight
section around the back of the circuit and Stauffer up to
second at the next turn to push Waters back to third.
- 1216 - Staring looks up
the inside into turn one but pulls out of the move, he has
to make his move or Stauffer will push him back to third
- 1215 - Waters gets the
holeshot again with O'Halloran in behind but of course on
combined time O'Halloran leads by nearly 2.5 seconds. But on
the track this time around it is Waters in front, Staring
second on the track and Jamie Stauffer up to third place now
as O'Halloran gets shuffled back to fourth
- 1214 - Ready for the
restart now
- 1155 - Rider is fine but
his bike is stranded in the middle of the track making
things dangerous for the other riders. The bike down is that
belonging to I think Glenn Cullen but he walked away
unscathed. We didn't need that delay however as we are
already a long time behind schedule
- 1154 - 10 laps to run now
and O'Halloran leads by 2.4 seconds over Staring, both
riders just put in 24.4. RED FLAG
- 1153 - O'Halloran
untroubled up front and puts in a new fastest lap, a 24.305
(new race lap record). Staring has pulled half a second out
on Waters and Stauffer. Jamie Stauffer a bit more
forceful than Staring and now through on Waters
- 1151 - Staring still on
the tail of Waters and perhaps took too long to make his
move, but he has done it now around the tight back section
just as Jamie joined them to make it a three way affair
- 1150 - Waters is holding
off Staring and Stauffer starting to close on them now.
O'Halloran running his own race more than 1.3 seconds out in
front of that second place battle. A 24.471 to O'Halloran on
that last lap but Stauffer the man on the move with a new
fastest lap of the race with a 24.412... Still 13 laps
to run so certainly everything still up for grabs
- 1149 - 14 laps to run and
O'Halloran leads by a second now after putting in a 24.794.
Staring challenging Waters for second place now, Stauffer
1.3 seconds further down in fourth place and has nearly a
second over Crowe, Holland and Seaton with that trio running
virtually nose to tail
- 1148 - O'Halloran
sprinting away from the Suzuki now. Waters looks to be
struggling for rear grip onto the main straight with two
grip and slips breaking away on the Suzuki which gave
O'Halloran a good buffer.
- 1147 - O'Halloran up the
inside of Waters at the end of the old straight, Staring
closing on that leading duo a little. Stauffer up to
fourth place now
- 1146 - Staring up the
inside of Crowe to take third place, O'Halloran all over
Waters now and this pair getting away a little
- 1145 - Away they go!
The front row all away well but Josh Waters on the Suzuki
takes the lead into turn one! O'Halloran in second place,
Crowe in third then it is Staring, Holland and Stauffer
- 1143 - Not far away now
from the first Supersport race of the weekend and signs are
encouraging that Yamaha's complete 1-2-3 domination of the
class may be coming to end with the new Pirelli shod 2007
model CBR600RR looking to be gaining pace in what is the
very early stages of its development. Holland and Staring
will both start from the front row alongside Crowe and
O'Halloran while Jamie Stauffer heads the second row where
two more manufacturers are represented, Josh Waters flying
the flag for Suzuki and Wayne Maxwell putting a Kawasaki
near the pointy end of the field. Kawasaki this round
running new tyres after switching to Dunlop from Michelin

- 1050 - There it is, red
flag is out, quite a delay until it was shown and I think
more put out due to the position of Sciberras' machine in
case anyone else went down on the next lap, Sciberras in a
bit of pain but conscious and moving around. Race declared.
- 1050 - Sciberras down and
hurting, think we might get another red flag
- 1049 - Hern getting away
from Carr now and this race is his if he keeps it upright,
Henry not in a position to make a challenge.
- 1046 - Carr gets a great
run off the start line and Hern goes with him, Henry a poor
start again and has his work cut out for him.
Sciberras very aggressive this time around and forces his
way into third place. Hern to the lead around the back
section of the circuit
- 1032 - At this stage of
proceedings officials are indicating that this will now be a
two part race with the second part of the race to be run

the circuit but looks to be okay.
- 1028 - Carr has responded
to drop into the 29s also, a 29.8 to Carr versus a 29.7 to
Henry, the gap down to 8-tenths
- 1026 - Ben Henry has now
finally managed to squeeze passed and pull away from Carr
and immediately takes nearly 1.4 seconds out of Carr's lead
in just one lap! Four laps to run and Henry will be on
Carr any second now, the WA rider just put in the first 1m29
of the race with a 29.2, 1.5 seconds quicker than Carr's
best.
- 1024 - Carr has a lead of
nearly two seconds on his pursuers now as they fight amongst
themselves. Henry having a ding dong battle with Carr while
a little further back is Cowie while Yates and Sciberras
tussle furiously over fifth

for a way through and starting to get aggressive... Hern is
escaping though as Henry and Carr swap paint at nearly every
turn

by 7-tenths of a second over Carr as they commence lap two,
Henry has moved up to third place ahead of Cowie, Yates,
Riddle, Sciberras and Aitken

away! Brayden Carr leads from Charles Hern and Tim
Cowie through the esses for the first time

has formed on the circuit after the warm up sessions and

though any more significant downpours are expected. If the
