-- Unedited Notes from our Live page - Start from the bottom of this section and scroll up through the timeline --

1454 - It seems as though Supersport tyres not arriving were not the only problems for Michelin as yesterday Allerton chunked a tyre in the first race and thus had to use a new tyre for the short second race and his tyre in this third race had a massive chunk out of it. When questioned on the issue Allerton said that it was vibrating badly from the second lap and he knew it was bad but after some of the other front runners went down there was no way he was going to pull in and retire so just picked it up off the turns and tried to preserve it to the end.
1436 - Superbike Event Points (Non Championship Event) - J Stauffer 75 - Allerton 58 - Holland 50 -
1434 - Aussie Superbike Race Three - J Stauffer, Allerton, Holland, Etheridge, D Stauffer, Johnson, Gibson, Fergusson, Wicks, Higgins, Williams.
1432 - Allerton and Holland side by side pulling up at turn four but still Allerton ahead through the turn... Still Allerton through the Hayshed... Holland close at Lukey, Allerton has the inside line blocking at MG, Holland right behind him through turn 11.... Holland in the slipstream for the run to the line but the factory man has too much power... Jamie celebrates the win with a smoky on to the main straight followed by a mono... A perfect start to the year for Jamie on the 2005 machine while his brother gets pipped for fourth spot by Shannon Etheridge while using this round to get the 2006 Yamaha YZF-R1 SP up to speed. But at this round it was the 2005 YZF-R1 that emerged victorious...
1431 - Holland under Allerton at turn 11 but Allerton might have even left that gap on purpose and simply pulls back ahead down the straight to take the advantage into turn one...
1429 - Dan Stauffer back in front of Shannon Etheridge now... Allerton still holding off Holland but Holland will be sure to mount a challenge at MG Hairpin on the final lap... Two to run...
1428 - Jamie has it easy out in front now to the tune of over four seconds and just managing that gap while Allerton and Holland wage war over second place. Etheridge has got the better of Dan Stauffer for 5th place.
1426 - Holland up to second place now through turns 11 and 12 but Allerton blasts pasts him at the end of the straight... Holland will have to bide his time until the last lap I think...
1424 - Jamie now has a lead of 3.4 seconds over Allerton who is being haggled at every turn by Russell Holland. Next best is Dan Stauffer a further five seconds down and being challenged by privateer Shannon Etheridge...
1423 - Giles down and out in the gravel... Got up okay thankfully but that has left it to Jamie to take a perfect six from six across the Superbike and Supersport classes this weekend to make it a perfect 2006 debut for Team Yamaha... They will be wishing this would have been an Australian Championship points scoring event for sure... While the other teams will be extremely glad that it isn't!
1422 - Glenn Allerton is running third a couple of seconds behind the leading duo but Russell Holland is closing him down after a dreadful start...
1421 - Gilesy the fastest man on that last lap with a 1m36.08 but Jamie all over him on this next lap... And takes the lead into turn one with 7 laps to run...
1420 - Krusty down after losing the front.. Up in the dust and getting it going again but any chance of a podium out the window no matter where he rejoins the field... The Honda man lost the front at MG Hairpin and it just got away from him.. Giles in the lead now from Jamie Stauffer...
1418 - Jamie Stauffer the early lead from Giles and Fergusson around the back of the circuit for the first time but Fergusson gets the advantage over Giles around the back of the circuit and then noses ahead of Jamie Stauffer between turns 11 and 12 but into turn one Jamie takes the advantage up front again but Fergusson goes side by side with him out of turn two and on the run down to turn three and takes the lead on the run to turn four, Giles then pushes Jamie back to third place .
1417 - The wireless supposed broadband we got charged way too much for here just fell over again and caused us a break in transmission.
1404 - The final Aussie Superbike support race up next at 1420
