QLD Supermoto Titles
August 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment
The Far North Queensland Road Racing Club in conjunction with Stay Upright Motorcycle Techniques held the second and final round of the 2011 Queensland Supermoto Championships at the Mako Trac International Raceway on the 6th and 7th of August. Supermoto racing is a hybrid of motocross and roadracing with riders competing on motocross and enduro bikes with 17 inch road race tyres on both dirt, including jumps, and tarmac sections of the track. The first round of the titles was held at Carnell Raceway Stanthorpe on March 11 and 12.
Over 500 spectators passed through the gates over the 2 days of the event to see some spectacular riding displays from competitors, with riders sliding the back wheel of the bikes through turn 1 at over 100km/hr. A few passing showers on both days made conditions a bit slippery particularly where the tarmac and dirt sections joined.
Trophies were awarded in 4 classes on the day S1 for highly modified bikes over 450cc, S2 for bikes up to 450cc, S3 for bikes up to 250cc and Veterans. which don’t have a capacity limit, just riders having to be over the age of 35. Trophies in all classes for the Queensland titles will be awarded at the Motorcycling Queensland Annual Awards night in Brisbane in December.

World Super Bikes,Philip Island
March 1, 2011 by
The 2011 World Super bike season kicked off in great fashion for Ducati and Carlos Checa with a double win
has dominated the opening two races of the World Superbike Championship at Phillip Island.
The Spaniard rode his Ducati to perfection, kicking off the 2011 season in dominant fashion.
In Race 1, Checa took the lead from Eugene Laverty (Yamaha) on Lap 3 and steadily pulled out to an unchallenged four second lead over reigning champ Max Biaggi.
The podium was completed by Leon Haslam (BMW Motorrad) who held off both Yamaha World Superbike Team riders Laverty and Marco Melandri.
Laverty continually came off second best during his race long scrap with his team-mate, before brilliantly beating the MotoGP refugee off the final corner to steal the final podium place.
Race 2’s one-two result was the same as Race 1, with Checa leading home Biaggi.
While Checa cleared off, Biaggi held off an eager effort from Melandri, who after the race was visibly delighted with his first weekend as a World Superbike rider.
Jonathan Rea (Castrol Honda) emerged from a battering and bruising weekend with a fourth place in Race 2, after falling back with a big mistake at Honda Corner in Race 1.
Rea finished ahead of the two Leons, Haslam (BMW Motorrad) and Camier (Aprilia Alitalia).
It was a tough day for the Aussies. Troy Corser finished with the best race result, finishing 10th in Race 1. The former World Champion ran in the top three early in Race 2, but ran down the escape road at Honda Corner

New boy Aron Taff (picture) Has a good showing and shows a fair bit of potential on his Honda.
A.king(picture below) was back to his crashing ways.
Crashing 3 times at the meeting,Maybe he shouldn`t have sprayed his bikes.
