Superbike QP

Robbie Bugden topped a sweltering 15-minute qualifying session at Queensland Raceway at 1600 this afternoon.

The local rider, who will have his Honey Badger cheer squad on hand this weekend finished 0.061 of a second over Yamaha mounted Michael Blair, with Ben Burke finishing the session third quickest.

Craig McMartin is sporting a glaring new colour scheme on his delectable Panigale R this weekend and finished the session fourth quickest ahead of his Racer’s Edge teammate Beau Beaton.

Matt Walters was certainly the most spectacular rider on track today, the Kawasaki Connection rider very entertaining with the ZX-10R set up slideways into turn three every lap. It didn’t translate to outright speed for the Cessnock youngster however, Walters over a second off the pace of Bugden, but with a clear gap over seventh placed Liam Wilkinson.

Racing starts tomorrow and Sunday by 10am both days with every class scheduled to run three races each day.

Warm temperatures are forecast for the entire weekend which will certainly make grip at a premium and tyre preservation vitally important to race results over the course of the weekend with all competitors on a Dunlop control tyre.

  1. Bugden 1m10.452
  2. Blair 1m10.513
  3. Burke 1m10.794
  4. McMartin 1m11.372
  5. Beaton 1m11.375
  6. Walters 1m11.563
  7. Wilkinson 1m12.205
  8. Baker 1m12.430
  9. De Leon 1m12.434
  10. McIntyre 1m12.566
Supersport QP

The hot weather conditions today at Queensland Raceway also saw many Supersport competitors struggling for grip, at one end or the other, or both.

BCperformance’s Kyle Buckley was riding in his usual aggressive and sideways manner on the SA Kawasaki ZX-6R to head off prime foe Mitch Levy for pole position.

Jordan Carlsson was third quickest ahead of Sam Muldoon and Chris Quinn while Callum Spriggs made an appearance aboard a YZF-R6. The Queenslander quickly got down to competitive times and will be one to watch as the weekend unfolds.

  2. Levy 1m13.443
  3. Carlsson 1m13.593
  4. Muldoon 1m13.801

Ninja 300 Qualifying

Young Broc Pearson topped the Ninja 300 qualifying with a time only two-tenths off the lap record he set in his first appearance in the class back here in July. Today’s 1m24.772 coming on the last of the ten laps he put in during the 15-minute session.

  2. McMillan 1m12.887
