Glen Allerton
Wayne Maxwell
Jamie Stauffer
Troy Herfoss
1248 – Just recorded some interviews, will upload them shortly
1220 – Well all the lapped traffic did wreck the end of that race a little. A huge difference in speed between the top half of the field and the latter half. But that’s the way it goes…

1214 – More backmarkers….. Last lap board, Maxwell from Allerton, both get held up into turn on this time around…. Allerton has threaded his way through…. He will win, Maxwell is stuck in traffic and has no chance from here…
1213 – Allerton in the lead at turn one… Both riders sideways but Allerton crossed to the inside line to take command in the turn one…
1213 – Bugden has broken away from Herfoss and Coxhell, will not catch the leading trio but will be buoyed
1213 – Still Maxwell from Allerton… Jamie not out of it but has his work cut out for him…
1212 – Bugden has got the better of Herfoss to move back up to fourth. More backmarkers now for the leaders….
1211 – Backmarkers everywhere…. Maxwell still from Allerton, Jamie perhaps faring a little better than the leading duo through that batch of traffic and back in touch a little…
1211 – McLaren has retired
1211 – The boys getting a little loose now as the tyre temp goes through the roof…
1210 – Jamie just got baulked massively by a backmarker on a Kawasaki into the basin, had to take a terrible line to get around him, will cost him dearly.
1210 – Lapped traffic may be a deciding factor…
1209 – Maxwell has a small advantage over Allerton now, who in turn might come under attack from Jamie…
1208 – Herfoss 1.8 seconds from the leader at the halfway mark, don’t think he will get on terms with them but it will certainly throw a cat among the pigeons if he can.
1208 – Herfoss is closing on the leading trio a little….. Come on Troy, get in the mix!
1207 – Through the basin again…. Jamie just managing to keep Allerton and Maxwell, but that latter pair look to have the upper hand over him…
1207 – Massive wheelie from Jamie over the hill that time around, huge. Maxwell still in front. Bugden in 5th
1206 – Allerton on the tail of Maxwell…. Jamie right there also… Six laps down… Brodie in 16th the leading ProStock machine
1206 – Coxhell and Herfoss side by side over the hill…. Herfoss through…
1206 – The boys into the high 55s now, the leading trio all in 55s… Lighting Dunlop up out of turn one.. Onboard footage is brilliant around here and the only way to appreciate this unique circuit
1205 – Maxwell, Allerton, Stauffer then it is Coxhell from Herfoss
1204 – Through the basin again, hard on the gas for the climb, and it is a hell of a climb, up the hill, mono over the hill… Maxwell and Stauffer both getting sideways into the turns. Glenn fairly composed…
1203 – Maxwell, Allerton, Stauffer, all fairly close and running low 56s
1202 – Maxwell is getting away a little… Glenn will have to throw caution to the wind to chase him down
1202 – Wheelstands over the hill down to that intense uphill braking area. Allerton up to 2nd I believe
1201 – Still Team Honda 1-2 heading through the Basin…
1201 – Maxwell from Jamie, Allerton, Attard up into 5th
1159 – With tyre wear unlikely to come into it the start will be crucial here today, maximum aggression early on will reward come the flag, the guys will be pumped in readiness for that first tip in to turn one, a double right hander here at Wanneroo. Then hard on the gas through a kink before the only left-hander, an uphill heavily cambered turn, before an aggressive and physical throwover of the bike to the right to crest the hill before the run down into the hugely cambered and downhill basin, then climb up out of the basin, or bowl as some call it, up over the hill again nudging 250km/h standing on the rear brake to try and keep the front wheel somewhere near terra-firma, then the second hardest braking point in Australia, behind Mallala’s northern hairpin
1157 – Pit crews starting to pull their gear off the grid in preparation for the warm up lap and race start
1155 – This race only 15 laps, so will be done and dusted in 15 minutes and tyre wear will not really be an issue here, despite the warming temperatures. Robbie Bugden being interviewed on the grid, helping shore up some local support by talking up the features of the racetrack
1145 – Utes finished now, track being prepped for bikes, teams entering pit lane..
1125 – Okay, 30 minutes until scheduled start of opening ASBK race and things are looking up a little on the internet connection side of things. Fingers crossed
1048 – Some light at the end of the internet tunnel. One of the circuit people has connected a router to an internet dongle from a different provider and we seem to be having a little success on that. Opening race in a little over an hour
1035 – Despite full perfect signal strength, Telstra dropped me out around 50 times through that session, I presume due to congestion. The media wireless is just as useless. Arrghhh! Even posting that 1035 post took me another 20 attempts at connection! I am not exaggerating
1027 – ASBK Superpole
Maxwell 55.68
Allerton 55.74
Stauffer 55.77
Coxhell 56.07
Herfoss 56.28
Bugden 56.31
Henry 57.00
Attard 57.16
1025 – Allerton just pips him with a 55.74
1025 – Jamie Stauffer goes quickest, a 55.775
1023 – Herfoss out now… A 56.28 to the Suzuki man…
1021 – Coxhell out now, he was pumped before this. A 56.07 his time, I don’t think he will be happy with that…
1020 – Bugden on his lap now… A 56.31 to Bugden
1017 – Ben Henry the first out for Superpole. His marker a 57.00. Attard goes out next and puts in 57.16 to slip back one spot on the grid. Net is killing me!
1016 – Internet falling over all the time again today, and when it works it is patchy. It’s like working from race meetings 12 years ago on dial-up… Frustrating!
1007 – Not far off a start in Superpole. Just went and visited the pits, some teams expressing their displeasure in no certain terms at the Dunlop tyre changers at this meeting, complaining of heavily damaged rims
0915 – Pit images from this morning – Gallery B
0901 – A damn struggle trying to get any photos uploaded. Rumour was yesterday that Telstra was going to do something about it today, wish they would hurry up and do it!
0841 – Internet is still fairly problematic here. SBK Superpole scheduled for 1015 Perth time and SBK Race One is 1155 Perth time, that schedule equates to 1215 EST for Superpole and 1355 EST for SBK Race One. Took some images this morning that I will aim to upload shortly, Telstra permitting…

0831 – Herfoss finding some speed. Up to 3rd quickest with a 55.80.
0830 – Wowee! Maxwell down to 55.45! Allerton responds immediately with a 55.48 but the Honda leads the way!
