place for the FZR1000 in P6 Formula
1300 at an Australian title meeting is
something we can be happy with for a
bike (and crew) who have a lot more
sorting out to do!
In the other classes there are a
couple of standout performances that
deserve a mention. Stephen Craig,
EVENT
riding a Kawasaki ZXR400
won the Period 6 750 class.
Yep, a 400 beat the big boys
and boy did Stephen ride his
heart out – it was amazing
to watch. Stephen also
dominated the Period 6 500
class, winning by a country
mile in each race. The same
went for another Stephen –
Stephen Ward who cleared
off into the distance on his
Armstrong 250 to win each
race in Period 5 250–aclass
act. And to round it off for
the Steves, Steve Kairl was another
class act on his Yamaha TZ350 in
Period 5 350 tying for the win with
Glen Kelleher who on count back got
the overall win. Steve did take Period
5 500, though, winning each race and
making the 250 Proddie boys work
hard to beat a much older bike!
Fastest lap of the meeting wentto Aaron Morris on the C&M
Motorcycles Yamaha FZR1000
in Period 6 Formula 1300 with a
blistering 1:00.776 and I would dare
say this would be a lap record for this
class by at least a couple of seconds.

Raceway said the AHRRC has been
the biggest meeting ever held at the
facility and judging by the number of
spectators I can well believe that it
was the biggest crowd to ever attend
a meeting there. I even got to meet a
couple of you, our awesome readers,
who came out and watched the great
historic racing action.
Where to next for the big GSX and
FZR? Well, I think we’re going to
give the GSX a bit of a birthday and
really give it a well-deserved tidy up.
The FZR – we’re planning to take it
to the Island Classic in January with
Alex riding but if we don’t it will
certainly be at The Festival of Speed
in March where I’ll probably give it
a whirl, but much more slowly than
Alex! LOL! Back to the garage and
late nights improving the FZR from
what we now know! D1
- Great mates with a good result.
- Stuart – “So, what’s it like”?!
