SPAREPARTS & MOREIn the Period 5 class it was ASBK
rider Beau Beaton who blasted his way
around on the awesome looking and
sounding Irving Vincent. Beau won
all but one of the Period 5 races and
displayed some amazing late braking
manoeuvrers into Turn One.
A few Kiwis made their way over to
Oz to take it to the Aussie racers with
awesome performances from Sloan
Frost, Jay Lawrence (in Period 5) and
Glen Skachill in Period 6. These fast
young bucks certainly put the wind up
some of the regular Post Classic racers
with their blinding speed.
The thing about race meetings
like the Island Classic and the QBE
International Festival of Speed is
that they attract current and ex-
world racers who are a class or
more above your average club day
racer, so special mention must go
to Steve Kairl who was the highest
placed “clubbie”. He managed to
get 4th in Period 6 in the QBE Top- Steve also got down into the 39s
which is an awesome achievement.
The bike he was riding was another
one of C&M Motorcycles’ bikes, a
1989 Yamaha FZR1000, and he also
weighs about 10kg dripping wet!
All three days of racing saw huge
crowds pack into SMSP but Sunday
was the main day including the Show
‘N’ Shine for all those beautiful classic
road bikes to show off their shininess
and exotic lustre.
I had a shocker of a weekend, coming
in 5th overall in Pre Modern F1. I had
converted the mighty CBR900RR to a
total loss electrical system (removing
Á\ZKHHO DQG VWDWRU DQG LW WXUQHG RXW
that the battery wasn’t powerful enough
to give enough spark up high. I also
had a minor collision with another rider
who highsided right in front of me,
putting a hole in my radiator. If not for
the awesome Pirelli slick tyres I had on,
I dare say I’d have been much further
back. The grip and speed they give
speaks volumes when I’m essentially on
a ‘standard’ bike while others around
me are on full house ex-racers. But
stay tuned because I’ve got something
coming for them!
The praise for top quality gear doesn’t
stop there: the NG brake discs, Venhill
braided brake lines and SBS Carbon
Classic pads let me make up heaps
of time under brakes. I’ve used these
four brands both on the road and
racing, and they always give me the best
performance available.
If you have ever thought about
getting to the QBE International
Festival of Speed you’re seriously mad
if you don’t. You’ll be blown away with
the bikes and the superstars. 2018 is the
celebration of world superbikes and
plans are already heating up to include
some amazing bikes and riders. To keep
