Supersport Race 1

  • 1111 - Supersport Race One Provisional Results - Waters tried to get on the gas hard enough to take Staring in the final turns but each time he hit the throttle the rear end of his Kawasaki stepped out and nearly launched him, in fact it came VERY close to launching him into orbit

  • 1109 - Aitchison gets the last lap board with a 7.8 second buffer over Crowe who in turn has nearly 4 seconds on Staring, Waters still within striking distance of Staring for the final spot on the podium
  • 1107 - Aitchison leads by 6.5 seconds with a couple of laps to run, Crowe's second place looks safe also but the final spot on the podium is still being fought out between Staring and Waters
  • 1106 - Major tussle unfolding between Staring and Waters who are now fighting for third place following the unfortunate demise of O'Halloran. Aitchison can control it up front from here on in, 5 laps to run and he enjoys a 5 second buffer over Crowe who is riding to a brilliant second place
  • 1104 - O'Halloran's Yamaha has stopped on him... Disaster for the youngster, Aitchison inherited the lead but only a corner later he nearly ended up in the wall as his R6 went into quite a tankslapper, it looked as though he wouldn't stay on but somehow it settled down again, was a very scary looking moment though and if it had ejected him he would have been straight to hospital that's for sure, a large wall would have greeted his exit
  • 1103 - Nothing in it between O'Halloran and Aitchison, Crowe keeping his buffer over Staring and Waters. Less than half race distance and the leaders are already starting to lap people
  • 1102 - Waters closing on Staring now, Crowe is still in third place and has 1.8 seconds over his pursuers but is over four seconds behind the leading duo
  • 1101 - Waters pushes Stauffer back to sixth place, up front it is still O'Halloran and Aitchison... That pair have brought each other down before so lets hope it doesn't happen again
  • 1100 - Staring gets the better of Stauffer on lap seven to move up to fourth place
  • 1059 - 13 laps to run

  • 1057 - O'Halloran managing to keep his small advantage over Aichison, that pair now 1.2 seconds ahead of Crowe who is starting to come under attack from Stauffer who is riding his spare machine, Staring 5th Waters 6th, Allerton 7th
  • 1055 - O'Halloran maintaining his small lead over Aitchison and the pair have sneaked away from Crowe a little, Stauffer fourth, Staring fifth, Waters sixth, Allerton seventh, Shirriffs eighth
  • 1053 - And they are away in the restart with Jason O'Halloran in the lead from Mark Aichison and Jeremy Crowe
  • 1051 - Campbell made it for the warm up so he will take up his starting position on the second row when they form up for the start
  • 1048 - Tyre warmers being removed now and things being readied for the warm up laps
  • 1043 - With Krusty missing from the second row along with now Geronomi and Campbell doing some quick repairs in the pits at the moment Staring is the only rider on the second row
  • 1036 - That stoppage will mean that the riders will get two warm up laps and the race will be shortened by a lap thus this race will now be a 19 lap affair when it finally gets underway
  • 1035 - Track crews now clearing up the mess at the hairpin left behind by Geronomi's R6 leaking its fluids on the circuit
  • 1033 - Riders back on the grid with tyre warmers going back on, Scott Campbell managed to ride back to the pits and we will have a full re-start and he wasn't the cause of the red flag so if they can repair the bike in time he should be able to restart
  • 1032 - Geronomi being given first aid on the track, he is conscious but in a fair bit of pain by the look of it. He is a tough little bugger though, short in stature but what there is of him is a power packed little package of muscle
  • 1030 - Local favourite Scott Campbell went down early on the first lap and one of the leading Yamahas went down at the hairpin which brought the red flag out, think the man down there was Shaun Geronomi, his bike leaking its lifeblood over the track thus the cause of the red flag
  • 1029 - Riders forming on the grid for the race start now, Jamie takes his place on the front row aboard his spare bike...
  • 1025 - As the riders were sat on the grid with their brolly dollies it was discovered that Jamie Stauffer's R6 was dropping a little oil so the Kurri Kurri man jumped the fence to collect his spare bike from the pits and would start the warm up lap from pit lane
  • 1014 - The first of the major events up next, Supersport Race One
