Yamaha's Daniel Stauffer got the double in in Tassie - 3 riders are still in the running for the championship with the final round to be held at Eastern Creek in mid-October - dont know of any other domestic superbike championships that are as competitive

Great days racing at the Creek.

Jason O'Halloran cleaned up in both races, but the title went to his Teknik Honda team-mate. The battle between Kev Curtain and the Hondas in race 2 was the highlight of the day.

Final points :

1 Glenn Allerton Honda CBR1000RR 268
2 Jamie Stauffer Yamaha YZF-R1 258
3 Dan Stauffer Yamaha YZF-R1 245
4 Jason O’Halloran Honda CBR1000RR 239
5 Craig Coxhell Suzuki GSX-R1000 190
6 Robbie Bugden Suzuki GSX-R1000 172

Congrats to Glen Allerton on winning the title & to Jason O'Halloran showing his class in the 2 races - really hope he goes O/S in 2009....

I wonder if Kev Curtain & MV Augusta will race in 2009

Jamie Stauffer won the Supersport title aswell

[JohnnyFiama]

I can't say I've followed this series at all but interested to see Kevin Curtain on an MV Agusta. Has he been on that all year? What's his best result been?

[McLean Fan]

Johnny,

Kev's been on the 312R all year and has seen it's steady improvement culminate in second place at the final race of the year. I reckon he could have won the race had it not started spitting rain with a couple of laps to go.

Hey guys,
Was interested in attending an Australian Superbike race meeting in 2009, but I am not interested in travelling interstate.
Will the series travel to either Eastern Creek or Oran Park in 2009?
Has anyone seen a draft calendar for 2009?
What are the support categories, and what are they like in terms of entertainment?

[McLean Fan]

Only one at EC but three at lucky PI (although two of those will be on the undercard of WSBK and MotoGP rounds).

2009 Calendar :

15 February Winton, VIC
1 March Phillip Island, VIC
15 March Symmons Plains, TAS
12 April Phillip Island, VIC
31 May Queensland Raceway, QLD
19 July Barbagallo, WA
9 August Eastern Creek, NSW
18 October Phillip Island, VIC
1 November Adelaide, SA
15 November Calder Park, VIC

Race days will encompass the follow classes (two races of each, unless the format changes with the new management):

Superbike
Supersport
Superstock 1000
Superstock
Yamaha FZ6 Masters
125GP / 250 4-stroke
Honda CBR150 Junior Racing

I can't say I watch much more than the Superbikes and Supersport categories, but that's more to do with lack of time rather than lack of interest. It's definitely worth checking out if you can make it.

1 November Adelaide, SA

Do they mean Mallala (its not elsewhere on the calendar), or are the bikes heading back to AIR (considering the last round is at Calder)??

[McLean Fan]

Provisionally at AIR, although I'll believe it when I see it. You'd need a lot of air-fence for a start.

Thanks a lot for your help.
