Well done Cosi!
So after a few slight hick ups yesterday in practice Matty put Veloce 13th on the grid with a 1.44.1… yep but seems that in their esteemed wisdom St George have stuck F3, F4, and F5 Bears in with the 600 Supersport class… and wait the roaring sporties ( Harley’s ) in with the unlimited 600’s hmm go figure.
Anyway after some suspension issues yesterday with one of the bikes ( real shame that it wasn‘t on Sunday when the local suspension guru’s were around
) but we did get it sorted eventually
In F1 Matty is going OK on the big BMW so far…
There is never a meet here that doesn’t have delays so in the first race of the day they only got in 3 flying laps before it was declared.. Race 2 is also now delayed before completed… we are out race 5 for the first of 5 this weekend.. first four for points 5th is optional.
Stay tuned oh and the Mule is out the back taking in some sun working on her tan as the pits are a wee bit cramped.
This weekend timing is on natsoft …

Well done.
Interesting to look at the results, especially considering the rest of the field that the Laverda is up against. Matt brought it home in front of a whole lot of more modern machinery. The Laverda is the oldest bike out there by a couple of decades. OK, it's highly modified, but still pretty impressive.

Did something break or did he just throw it away big time.
Ouch anyway.
Good news on the class win.

Well done on the results so far but WTF happened in that crash? Rarely do I see bikes that well trashed at road races let alone at a track.

Blimey. It's a bit hard to identify what model of bike that pile of junk is was.
I'm guessing Kawasaki ZX6

Rumour is that the engine seized anyway back to business
Second race done and dusted another win in class so 2 out of 2 Good stuff and Veloce is behaving herself generally speaking
a bit of post race maintenance this arvo and a gearing change and should be good to go In the morning.
Lets hope for one there are way less distractions .. .

Curious too. Was thinking a triump triple.
Looks like a Suzuki GSXR 1000 to me

Well it definitely says Suzuki GSX something or other on the frame plate.
Ok moving on seems common sense prevailed and they merged F3 -F5 and the roaring sporties together…
So that meant for some reason we started out at 17th by end lap one up to 2nd then after a few laps chasing the speed triple up in front ( F3 bike ) Matt blasted past him on the outside and went on to lay down a totally demoralising for the opposition that is a 1.44.1 to stamp the Lav’s authority on them
Good ti see a lot of the NSW boys here to watch the action
