Team Yoshimura Joe Rocket Suzuki rider Joshua Waters won the opening round of the 2009 Championship at Phillip Island with a 1st & 3rd place finish in the 2 races. Race 1 was held in damp conditions which he used to his advantage. In race 2 the Honda's of Allerton & Maxwell left the field behind with Allerton getting the "photo finish" win over his team-mate. Kawasaki's Kevin Curtain had a dirty weekend...

I saw today on another forum that the Calder round is off and they might be looking at either Barbagallo or Oran Park as a replacement.
As much as the Oran Park round would be convenient for me, the track and facilities are very run down and Barbagallo is so far, especially if we go to the Kings meeting too. Jeff |

Was surprised that Calder Park was on the calender to start with. Is Oran Park still around or have the developers moved in?
Round 2 of the championship is on this weekend at Symmons Plains, Tasmania - great track for high speed bike racing |

Oran Park is still around, but is very run down. This is supposed to be the last year of operation, but so was last year and 2007 as well. The developers have been made to wait as the water/power/sewer is not ready to take that many new houses yet and the track is booked up every weekend and most weekdays so they have kept going for now.
Calder was all talk about track upgrades earlier in the year to get MA licencing but it appears to have stalled. There is meant to be a round of the Victorian motorcycle championships two weeks before but I wonder if that's off too. I haven't been to Simmons Plains yet but those who have like it so maybe it will be on our calendar one year. Jeff |

Calder is still a slight possibility...
Was reading in motorcycle news that BMW & KTM (with Shannon Johnson) could be entering the ASBK in the near future - good news that |

Racing at Symmons Plains was stopped after a fatality in the Supersport race. A sad day for motorcycle racing in Australia.

RIP Judd...
I heard about the crash from RACESAFE crew at Winton on the weekend, every fatality affects all motorsport, even those who have no interest in the particular category. |

Rounds 3 & 4 of the Championship head to Qld Raceway this weekend for a "double" double header after the sad times last time out at Symmons Plains....
Former Supersport Champion & Superbike #2 Shannon Johnson returns to the series on a Honda Supersport bike - got a foto of Shannon on the KTM Superbike at Winton 2 weeks ago, nice bike too... |

More news, the last round originally scheduled for Calder is now at Phillip Island on the 27-29 November. No conformation of what classes yet. The only problem is that it clashes with the Kings of Wanneroo meeting.
