Unedited race notes from our live reporting page

  • 1300 - Superbike Points - Brookes 70 - Dan 59 - Giles 57 - Jamie 54 - Charlton 48
  • 1255 - Superbike Race 1 - New Lap Record to Jamie with a 1m32.02 - Finishing Order - Brookes - D Stauffer - J Stauffer - Fergusson - Charlton - Johnson - Giles - Henderson - Bugden - Allerton - Holland - Gobert - Rees - Etheridge - Geronomi - Maxwell
  • 1253 - Michelin men also starting to lay a few more darkies now, still don't look to be struggling for rear grip as much as Dan though. Jamie's Stauffer just doesn't have the top end urge to live with Dan's Yamaha down the main straight but Jamie does get him under brakes for turn 3, Dan tried to get him right back on the exit as the two virtually rubbed fairings. Jamie pulls a couple of bike lengths on him as they entered a whole stream of lapped traffic.  Brookesy takes the win after going past probably another 5 riders on the main straight that time around while Jamie got baulked by a lapper on his way around the final turns which gave Dan the chance to slip past his brother and he held the advantage to the line for 2nd.  So lappers did indeed decide 2nd place but thankfully they didn't decide the winner as Brookesy gets that gong on his own merits. 
  • 1252 - In turn two Dan and Jamie chose different side of a lapper to go past and the slower rider must have got a scare with a green and blue flash going past just inches either side of him at that fast point of the circuit.
  • 1250 - Lapped traffic already for the leaders and let's hope that lappers do not decide the outcome of this race. Dan still holding up Jamie I think, Brookesy gets held up a little at turn 9 by more lappers.
  • 1249 - This trio still running nose to tail by themselves.  Dan struggling for rear grip, laying bigger and more sideways dark lines than the Michelin men he is fighting with. Just as I wrote that Dan had another moment, and then again as I wrote that he had another moment.  I think Dan might start heading backwards now but he is comfortable going sideways and as long as the tyre can survive Dan ca maybe live with the slides and adapt his riding to suit.  I think he is holding up his brother however and this is allowing Brookesy to sneak away a little
  • 1244 - Best kept secret in motorsport is the fantastic racing to be seen in Australian Superbike. Hopefully one day a big effort can be made to let the public know about it.  No local press coverage at all thus far that we have been able to find about this round being on. 
  • 1242 - It does not look as though Fergusson is going to be able to challenge this trio at all as he can make no headway.  Anthony Gobert was up to around 8th before slipping back to around 11th after some sort of moment. Brookes goes from 3rd to 1st!   Dan tried a move on Jamie which buggered both of them up a little and Brookesy was in there instantly to take advantage, how quick does this kid think! Mortals would never have seen an opportunity there!  Brookes leads from Dan, Jamie 3rd,  race still anyone's.
  • 1240 - Michelin, Dunlop, Michelin is the race order and remember this is still very early in the race, plenty of dark lines appearing from the rear tyres but later in the race the tyres will be the deciding factor as the leading trio are running a virtually equal race pace at this stage of the race
  • 1239 - Still Jamie and Dan up front, Brookesy gets a good run on the straight and pulls alongside Dan before turn 1 but Dan has the line and sweeps across, this trio really close and the battling allowing Krusty to perhaps close ever so slightly.  Jamie Stauffer put down a new race lap record with a 1m32.0, ten laps to run
  • 1238 - Still Jamie, Dan and Josh up front and Krusty a second or so further behind in 4th but the trio no longer look as though they are pulling ground on him.
  • 1236 - Down the full length of the main straight for the first time and Dan slips past his brother but Jamie gets him back at turn three, Brookes still in behind the brothers.  This trio pulling away from Fergusson a little who in turn is pulling away from Johnson. Russell Holland was running down around 10th and then to add insult to injury he scored a 10 second penalty for jumping the start.
  • 1235 - They are off!  Jamie Stauffer gets a great jump and leads his brother through the first turns with Josh Brookes and Adam Fergusson right behind followed by Shannon Johnson.
  • 1230 - Superbikes up next!
