Well I finally made it back on track again after my little misshap with Scam66.
Was good just to be able to zip around and concentrate on some smooth laps.
When we got there the dust was that bad it was like riding on the dirt!! But it cleared nicely.
It was at the short and bumpy Collie mpotorplex again but we had no qualifiying for some reason... That had me bummed as I was lapping mid 49s which would have put me second on the grid, and passing on this short track is a little hard sometimes.
They also decided to combine the Thunderbikes with the Moderns which I didn't find out until after the meet so I was soft into the first cornere as I didn't want to ruin a different classes battle.
This will not be the case next time as the SDR really shines on the first lap.
So i got 1st in my class but overall from 9th on the grid, 5th, 4th , and 3rd.

I wish mate!
I live in the West of Oz and as you can see, there is no point racing a superbike here.
The tracks are very short, the guy at the front was on a CBR 1000 but if I had better grid position I would have been able to match it with him.
Next time... Next race is still a short track but fast and flowing, so it is a struggle there...
