  • 0932 - On the track as they got the flag to signal the end of the race it was Jamie Stauffer by a full second over Aitchison who took second place with only 2-hundredths of a buffer over Staring with Fergusson a couple of tenths behind. Waters 5th, O'Halloran 6th, Allerton 7th, Greedy 8th, McMartin 9th, Seaton 10th, Campbell 11th, Goldsmith 12th.  Of course once the time penalties are applies Staring and Fergusson will be relegated down to 6th and 7th positions.
  • 0931 - Aitchison and Staring side by side into turn one early on the final lap, Aitchison gets out the other side with his nose in front... Jamie cruising his way home for a clear victory and taking no risks... Staring doing everything he can to get past Aitchison for second place on the track...
  • 0929 - The battle for the second on the track shaping up to be a ripper with Staring, Aitchison and Fergusson virtually side by side as they crossed the line to start the penultimate lap of this non championship race.
  • 0927 - Aitchison continuing to close on Fergusson and Staring now as the race moves into the second half of the race. Aitchison gets Fergusson for third place early on lap six
  • 0926 - Aitchison pulled some ground back on Fergusson and Staring that time around with a 1m37.603 but Jamie Stauffer had responded to Staring's challenge by putting in a new fastest lap of the race with a 1m37.38 to stretch his lead on the track out to 1.1 seconds.
  • 0925 - Jamie continued to lead the way as they started lap four and Staring had managed to pull a couple of tenths out on Fergusson. Staring had also pulled a tenth back on Jamie Stauffer after putting in the quickest lap so far on that last circuit with a 1m37.709.  Of course that will be moot at the end of the day as Staring, Fergusson, Allerton, Waters and McMartin all will be hit with a 30 second time penalty for using non homologated tyres this weekend
  • 0923 - As they started lap three Jamie Stauffer had nearly a full second on Fergusson and Staring who continued to trade places but had managed to pull away a little from Aitchison. The top trio all put in 1m37s on their second lap
  • 0922 - Jamie Stauffer took the lead early on in this first Australian Supersport encounter for 2006 with Adam Fergusson, Mark Aitchison and Bryan Staring in tow. At the end of lap one Aitchison and Staring pushed Fergusson back a couple of spots but through turn one Fergusson got Aitchison back for third and then took Staring at turn four. This battle giving Jamie Stauffer an opportunity to break clear. Jason O'Halloran scored a 10 second jump start penalty.
  • 0915 - Five riders have been granted permission to compete on non-homologated Michelin tyres in the Supersport support races at the 2006 world Superbike round at Phillip Island on March 4-5. However, the riders ­- Honda trio Bryan Staring, Adam Fergusson and Glenn Allerton, Kawasaki’s Josh Waters and Ducati’s Craig McMartin - will be penalised 30 seconds at the end of their races. The tyres which Michelin Australia nominated for homologation in the 2005 and 2006 racing seasons are not available this weekend. Two Supersport races will be held today, with the final one tomorrow morning.
