2006 Australian Superbike Championship (YMF Loan)

Superstock Race 1 - Unedited Notes from Live Text Notes

1346 - After this mess is cleared up it will be the opening Nakedbike bout before Supersport final qualifying gets underway
1342 - Some confusion then descended on Wanneroo as the riders were called back around to the grid for some reason... With some officials running up and down pitlane. Rare that we have such confusion at an ASC round these days as the continuity of personnel that we enjoy these days from round to round generally avoids such drama. But I guess the occasional hiccup can be forgiven. The riders were then sent the opposite way down the main straight to the first pit entry as the ambulance and Racesafe crews were still attending to Ben Henry in the esses.
1340 - Last lap board and Henry only 3-tenths behind, they catch a lapper in the esses, Andrews through, Henry touches him, Henry goes down and tumbles hard, he is conscious and moving but man that has got to hurt, lots... Red flag is out, so that means the result might go back a lap. Andrews the winner, Henry was in second but as he caused the red flag I don't think he will get credited with second which would promote Scibberas into second and Higgins onto the podium.
1338 - He just might.... Henry back within 6-tenths of a second now with two to run... Scibberas third, Higgins fourth...
1337 - Henry just tried a huge out braking move into the final turn but ran predictably very wide and lost a heap of ground in the attempted move, he went from only a couple of tenths down to over 1.1 seconds down on Andrews. Three laps to go, will it be long enough to allow him to get back in touch with the Suzuki mounted Andrews...?
1335 - Still Andrews out in front as they start lap three, the Suzuki man with a 4-tenths of a second advantage over Henry but Henry is closing...
1333 - As they start lap two it is Andrews from Scibberas who is now being challenged by local tyre Ben Henry. Higgins fourth and ex dirt tracker turner supermoto rider now turned road racer Josh Houwen
1331 - The Superstockers are away for their opening race of the day now and it was Ian Andrews who got off the line the best to lead the field through turn one...
