<p><strong>Friday</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The afternoon session at an ASBK event on any given Friday usually sees the media crew considering a bar about 4pm, but for 2023 at SMSP ASBK were barely at the halfway point of the day&#8217;s on track action. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Expectations were high and the field delivered in spades.</span></p>
<div id="pitbo-1243715942"><a href="https://freedom.harley-davidson.com/en_AU-2025-Savings" aria-label="H-DA-2026-BreakoutRunout_DigiDirect-990&#215;120"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/H-DA-2026-BreakoutRunout_DigiDirect-990x120-1.jpg" alt=""  srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/H-DA-2026-BreakoutRunout_DigiDirect-990x120-1.jpg 920w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/H-DA-2026-BreakoutRunout_DigiDirect-990x120-1-300x39.jpg 300w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/H-DA-2026-BreakoutRunout_DigiDirect-990x120-1-768x100.jpg 768w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/H-DA-2026-BreakoutRunout_DigiDirect-990x120-1-696x91.jpg 696w" sizes="(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px" width="920" height="120"   /></a></div>
<p><strong>Alpinestars Superbike</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Practice 3</strong><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The early sessions were a seesawing affair and while Josh Waters was certainly up there, the predicted dominance of the McMartin Panigale V4R had failed to materialise. The YRD Yamaha R1Ms of Cru Halliday and Mike Jones had turned up to do some serious business.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_12700" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12700" style="width: 1080px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-5523.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12700" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-5523.jpg" alt="The early sessions were a seesawing affair and while Josh Waters was certainly up there, the predicted dominance of the McMartin Panigale V4R had failed to materialise." width="1080" height="608" srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-5523.jpg 1080w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-5523-300x169.jpg 300w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-5523-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-5523-768x432.jpg 768w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-5523-696x392.jpg 696w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-5523-1068x601.jpg 1068w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-12700" class="wp-caption-text">The early sessions were a seesawing affair and while Josh Waters was certainly up there, the predicted dominance of the McMartin Panigale V4R had failed to materialise.</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And so it was into Practice 3. The early running was all blue bikes with Halliday and Jones at the top- in that order. Waters was able to will himself to the top with a 1:30.382, but Mike Jones bettered that fairly quickly, posting a 1:30.247 to take the top spot. Halliday lurked thereabouts in third, just .173 behind his teammate while Staring was up to fourth, and a determined-to-qualify-better Arthur Sissis was fifth.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At eighteen minutes to go, Waters reclaimed the top spot once again, but was not in the 1:29s per the earlier sessions in the day. The track was at 39c, and one thing we had noted at the test in February was that the Ducati did not fall away in terms of performance the hotter it got. Would that hold now we were here to race for sheep stations?</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_12668" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12668" style="width: 1080px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Halliday-Jones-4152.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12668" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Halliday-Jones-4152.jpg" alt="The early running of practice 3 was all blue bikes with Halliday and Jones at the top- in that order." width="1080" height="608" srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Halliday-Jones-4152.jpg 1080w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Halliday-Jones-4152-300x169.jpg 300w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Halliday-Jones-4152-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Halliday-Jones-4152-768x432.jpg 768w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Halliday-Jones-4152-696x392.jpg 696w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Halliday-Jones-4152-1068x601.jpg 1068w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-12668" class="wp-caption-text">The early running of practice 3 was all blue bikes with Halliday and Jones at the top- in that order.</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At 14 minutes to go, there was a ceasefire of sorts with half the field and most of the front runners in the pits. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">But their return to the track was quite a thing. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Halliday dropped the fastest lap on two wheels ever at the SMSP complex, banging out a 1:29.003. A few minutes later he was on track to do it again only this time hammered the Yamaha into the shape of a 1:28.895 to send the loudest, clearest message to the assembled audience; Cru Halliday is a very, very serious contender.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_12701" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12701" style="width: 1080px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-6129.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12701" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-6129.jpg" alt="The order was heating up and we weren't even into qualifying yet!

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Behind Halliday, Jones had dipped to a once-amazing-but-now-ho-hum 1:29.497 while Josh Waters (3rd)  1:29.573 suddenly made the Ducati seem vulnerable. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Staring ended the session fourth, Herfoss was fifth with Glenn Allerton in sixth. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The rest of the top ten consisted of Collins (7th), Sissis (8th), Stauffer (9th) and Pearson (10th).</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Qualifying 1</strong><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The second most important non-racing session of the weekend kicked off at 8:30pm in both darkness and bright artificial light, with the top 12 set to go through to Qualifying 2. Josh Soderland didn&#8217;t even complete a lap on his Ducati before getting black-flagged for not having a red taillight.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_12688" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12688" style="width: 1080px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Pearson-8239.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12688" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Pearson-8239.jpg" alt="The second most important non-racing session of the weekend kicked off at 8:30pm in both darkness and bright artificial light, with the top 12 set to go through to Qualifying 2." width="1080" height="608" srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Pearson-8239.jpg 1080w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Pearson-8239-300x169.jpg 300w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Pearson-8239-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Pearson-8239-768x432.jpg 768w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Pearson-8239-696x392.jpg 696w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Pearson-8239-1068x601.jpg 1068w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-12688" class="wp-caption-text">The second most important non-racing session of the weekend kicked off at 8:30pm in both darkness and bright artificial light, with the top 12 set to go through to Qualifying 2.</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There was a bit of settling and probing from the riders in the early part of the session which saw Jones lead from Herfoss and Stauffer. Halliday was late to the party, so too Allerton and Staring. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dunlop Motorsport Manager Robbie Bugden watched from the sidelines as his qualifying record of 1:29.842 looked under serious threat.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_12704" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12704" style="width: 1080px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-8179.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12704" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-8179.jpg" alt="With 10 minutes remining, Halliday and Staring took to the circuit, while Josh Waters quietly went to P1 with a 1:29.071." width="1080" height="608" srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-8179.jpg 1080w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-8179-300x169.jpg 300w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-8179-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-8179-768x432.jpg 768w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-8179-696x392.jpg 696w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-ASBK-Waters-8179-1068x601.jpg 1068w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-12704" class="wp-caption-text">With 10 minutes remining, Halliday and Staring took to the circuit, while Josh Waters quietly went to P1 with a 1:29.071.</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With 10 minutes remining, Halliday and Staring took to the circuit, while Josh Waters quietly went to P1 with a 1:29.071 and somewhere Robbie Bugden accepted the inevitability of the latest machinery and riders running down all the old records.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seven minutes left and given how exciting the final practice was, this was a somewhat less exciting session as tactics played out slowly as the time ran down. A place in the top 12 was the only goal to progress into the final qualifying session of the night. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most pitted, leaving Max Stauffer alone on the circuit chasing a top-five result. We were still in a Waters/ Jones/Halliday situation with no 1:28s posted while the clock just ran down.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those on the bump spot, it was on. Matt Walters (11th) pushed hard on his Aprilia, Paris Hardwick was also pressing on for a spot in the final session and Josh Soderland set for an early night. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Qualifying 2</strong><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The most hotly anticipated qualifying session in some time hit the track right on 9pm with 22 degree air temp and 27 degree track temp. Speculation in the media centre was high as predictions about who would be where flew left and right. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Halliday was ALL business from the jump, banking a 1:29.750 for his first flyer. Teammate Jones was quickly into P2 with Allerton banking a P3 spot early as he&#8217;s fast and clever. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Halliday then went faster again on his second flyer with a 1:29.347, Mike Jones hit a 1:29.672. Troy Herfoss dipped into the 29s as it was time to bring your A-game.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Halliday pitted. Nine minutes left. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Waters was down in fourth with Allerton and Staring chasing. None of these three were yet to get into the 1:29s; the exclusive domain of the top three. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jones and Herfoss both pitted. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Staring was now the only rider in the top six still on track. Pearson was yet to bank a flyer.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Five minutes to go and the fast guys re-emerged. Halliday was first out, Waters joined him while Herfoss and Jones decided to wait.  </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pearson moved up to 8th while Waters slipped to fifth Behind Staring. Halliday found traffic and could not get a fast lap done. Guest commentator Troy Corser was talking Josh Waters up- and the Mildura lad delivered with a 1:29.227 for provisional pole.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One minute left and Herfoss could not move any further forward. Jones was on a flyer and was threatening to drop a 1:28 something. While it was a 1:29.019 and not in the 1:28s, it was still the fastest time of the session. J</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">ones had maybe 10 seconds in pole position before teammate Halliday delivered on all the promises he&#8217;d shown all day and hit a 1:28.970 to take pole.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Michelin Supersport</strong><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Qualifying One for Supersport saw Jake Farnsworth post the fastest first flyer that was immediately answered by Sean Condon who posted a 1:33.706 to let the field know that he was absolutely the man to beat this weekend.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After three flying laps, Jack Passfield was the man for the task, dropping the fastest time for the session to 1:33.253 and announcing that whatever Condon had, he was ready to go.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.. Condon would not be denied. He immediately replied with a faster time and right at the bell he further dropped the fastest time to a 1:32.509 and none would be able to better that time. Indeed Condon was some .704 faster than Passfield, leaving the field to ponder what the race will look like.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The battle between Condon and Passfield overshadowed the chasers with Lynch some 1.029 behind Condon in third with Jake Farnsworth in fourth. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hayden Nelson and Cameron Dunker jumped up the order with both Supersport 300 graduates rapidly improving to push Supersport regulars down the order. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">This saw Dallas Skeer (7th), Olly Simpson (8th), John Lytras (9th) and Tom Bramich in tenth.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Qualifying Two</strong><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sean Condon again took the Supersport category by the scruff of the neck and posted a time (1:32.509) some .744 faster than second-placed Jack Passfield and over a second faster than third-placed and championship leader Ty Lynch.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At eleven minutes to go, a red flag brought the night session to a halt after Jack Passfield went down and his bike ended up on circuit. Passfield was up and about, but the second-placed rider would take no further part in the session, leaving a yawning chasm betwixt top-placed Condon and nearest threat Ty Lynch.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The return session brought little by way of excitement, Condon choosing to stay in the garage while Luca Durning provided a moment of interest, being the first rider black-flagged in ASBK history for not displaying a red taillight during a night session.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">..and so it was. Condon took the extra point and the pole award for Supersport and sits squarely in the box seat for Saturday.</span></p>

<p><strong>Saturday</strong><br />
There&#8217;s been a number of comparisons over the years between Phillip Island and Sydney Motorsport Park and it was SMPS&#8217;s chance to really shine. The weather at SMSP was just as unpredictable as The Island, so there&#8217;s that and congrats all round&#8230;</p>

<p><strong>Alpinestars Superbike</strong><br />
The warm-up was declared dry and so Josh Waters naturally went .9 of a second faster than most and Glenn Allerton brought his usual game-day excellence to the caper and was up to P2. At the end of the short session, it was Waters still up top with pole sitter Cru Halliday in second, Allerton third, Bryan Staring looking very good in fourth and Arthur Sissis up to fifth.</p>
<p><strong>Race One</strong><br />
Herfoss, Allerton and Waters all got a ripping start, but it was Josh Waters on that ever-present McMartin Ducati Panigale V4R. Cru Halliday – by his self-admitted lowly standards – got a great start and was second to Josh Waters who ripped out a 1:34 standing lap, a time that would have once been a pretty good flying lap.</p>

<p>Settling slightly through to lap three, it was Waters from Halliday and Allerton who had Troy Herfoss and Mike Jones for company. Arthur Sissis had been unable to really launch like the rabbit he usually is and was fifth with Bryan Staring sixth.</p>
<p>Herfoss laid down a big black rubber line that impressed many but cost him four spots. Waters was now out to a half-second lead from Halliday and then a three-second gap back to Allerton in third. Waters&#8217; fastest lap was a 1:29.001 to obliterate the lap record- indeed the top three had already knocked off the lap record.</p>

<p>Bryan Staring was in the 1:29s and was stalking Allerton who had slipped down to fourth after Mike Jones did stealthy Mike Jones things to limit his losses once again.</p>

<p>With nine laps to go, Herfoss was now working his way back into contention, passing Sissis and on a mission to get to Bryan Staring who in turn was all over Glenn Allerton. They swapped positions a few times, allowing Herfoss to get closer still.</p>

<p>A few light drops of rain kept life interesting and uncomfortable, but lap times remained in the 1:29s. Allerton, Staring and Herfoss got into an old school gentleman&#8217;s Donnybrook. Halliday was the fastest man on the circuit, but Waters was still .75 up on the factory Yamaha R1M.</p>
<p>At six laps to go, Staring and Herfoss tried to get through on Allerton, but Allerton can late brake like few others and Staring and Herfoss simply swapped spots while leaving Allerton in fourth. Waters out front was looking composed, while Halliday was clearly not giving up the chase. The gap was now down to .5 of a second, but it felt like Waters was working his lap board pretty well. Herfoss was finally past Allerton to take fourth position, while Staring remained in sixth.</p>

<p>Waters&#8217; lead was down to just .2 of a second as Halliday was having the &#8220;ride of his life&#8221; according to commentator Steve Martin. The cameras cut to Mike Jones&#8217; bike as it massively let go an engine with a huge cloud of blue smoke. Shortly afterwards, the bike caught fire and brought out the red flag to stop the race.</p>
<p>Ten laps had been completed and race direction declared it a done deal. Josh Waters was the winner from pole-sitter Cru Halliday and the ever-present Troy Herfoss. These were strange days, but Waters was still king.</p>

<p><strong>Race Two</strong><br />
From the second row of the grid, Herfoss blazed away with Arthur Sissis for company. The front-row starters were swamped. Allerton went around the outside of everyone to take the lead. Halliday had just described the back side of the circuit as &#8220;sketchy as&#8221; and the whole field was now sketching their way through this section.</p>

<p>Allerton led from Halliday, Waters, Herfoss and Staring. Broc Pearson had done a great job and worked his way up to sixth with Artur Sissis shuffled back to seventh, despite being second early in lap one. Herfoss got the elbows out to pass Waters to then seek out Halliday and ultimately race leader Allerton.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Mike Jones was down in a lowly eighth position on his second bike and would need to move forward to limit his losses. Waters was past Herfoss for third and he and Halliday were off after Allerton. Allerton put his hand up down the straight to indicate rain, but new-found waterman Halliday took the lead with his foot down like a motocross rider through turn one and we wondered if there would be a red flag. It was hard to tell if it was raining elsewhere, and the merciful red flag came out after just three laps as the rain really fell in earnest.</p>

<p><strong>Race Two Restart</strong><br />
At the restart- in order they crossed the line a lap earlier- Halliday led the bunch despite not getting the best jump. Sissis did the crazy fast start thing as he is want to do and this time he made it stick and he was third behind Herfoss. Herfoss moved into the lead while Allerton went around Waters for third.</p>

<p>Herfoss went wide at turn six and Halliday politely followed so he wouldn&#8217;t feel alone. The rain continued. Mike Jones was back in tenth and struggling once again. With five laps to run, Waters was out to a three-second lead with a gaggle of chasers: Allerton, Halliday, Herfoss, Sissis and Pearson.</p>

<p>Four laps to go and Waters was absolutely trucking. He was now six seconds up the road and effectively gone. Herfoss moved back into second on a mission like we had rarely seen before. Allerton continued to chase, but Halliday passed him down the straight as we ticked down to three laps remaining. Herfoss ran wide again, but this time lost no places but gave even more time to the seemingly absent Josh Waters who was now eight seconds ahead.</p>
<p>Two laps left and Herfoss was second from Halliday , Sissis and Allerton. The nine-second lead Waters enjoyed continued to grow. Herfoss seemed secure in second place, with Halliday also comfortably ahead of Sissis.</p>

<p>At the finish, it was the dominant shape of the McMartin Ducati Panigale V4R with Josh Waters aboard taking an easy win by 6.3 seconds (he gave them a few seconds on the last lap) from Troy Herfoss, Cru Halliday, Arthur Sissis and Glenn Allerton in fifth.</p>
<p>Five wins from five starts. The only blemish for the entire season to date was the single point missed for pole at round two. While Josh Waters might have been under some pressure leading into the round where he was dominant at the test, the pressure was now all the other way; how will the field respond? But as Mike Jones had discovered at SMSP; even the seemingly invincible can have a day that goes DNF and 10th&#8230;</p>

<p><strong>Race One</strong><br />
The weather was again all the talk, but the precipitation thankfully stayed away. Pole sitter Sean Condon led them away from pole, but both Hayden Nelson and Tom Bramich fired off the line and were at the front or close to it.</p>

<p>A few riders ran wide early and trying to work out who was where was a challenge. Olly Simpson completed his first racing lap of Sydney Motorsport Park in the lead, Jake Farnsworth put a solid pass on Sean Condon while Olly Simpson was nearly unseated. That gave Farnsworth the opening he needed to take the lead.</p>
<p>Championship leader Ty Lynch was back in seventh while season-long contenders Lytras and Bramich were fifth and sixth. At the front, Olly Simpson had a big moment and ran wide, allowing the likes of Bramich and Lytras to move forward.</p>

<p>Condon was boxing on and was back up to second and then took the lead via a clever late braking move. Farnsworth nearly threw himself down the road after getting on the gas a little early. Condon was leading and had the fastest lap of the race to boot.</p>

<p>Olly Simpson was working himself back into the caper and was back up to fifth. Passfield had found himself involved in some early bar banging and was down in 14th. Condon ripped out a 1:32.969 to stretch his lead to .7 of a second with six laps to go.</p>

<p>The order settled for the top three with Condon, Jake Farnsworth and Tom Bramich all evenly spaced. The battle was on for fifth with 2022 Supersport 300 champion Cameron Dunker leading a solid group that included John Lytras, Ty Lynch and Hayden Nelson. At three laps to go, Condon was out to a second-plus gap and set sail for home for his first win of the year. Farnsworth was secure in second place with Bramich also solid in third.</p>
<p>While Farnsworth was able to chip away at Condon&#8217;s lead, it certainly felt like Condon was just doing what he needed to chalk up 25 points- which he did. The gap was still a second to second and Tom Bramich was a further 2.5 seconds in third. Olly Simpson was fourth with Cameron Dunker fifth.</p>

<p><strong>Race Two</strong><br />
With a mixed grid of wets and dry tyres and weather conditions that could have been a separate article, it was always going to be a very different sort of race. Jake Farnsworth was pulled from the grid at the 11th hour due to a faulty rear light.</p>

<p>Olly Simpson- another rider very handy when the going gets weird, was up to second with Dunker settling into third. With about one third of the circuit dry and the rest varyinging degrees of damp, Simpson pushed past Dunker to take second and the top runners were off in an attempt to get away before the circuit got too dry.</p>

<p>Pole man Sean Condon was way down in 20th and would have been screaming for dry running, but it was still too early to say whether slicks were the wrong call. It was still very wet at turn two, and the lack of a breeze and high humidity stopped the drying process.</p>

<p>Up front, Olly Simpson was leading by half a second to Cameron Dunker and a few more seconds back to Ty Lynch. Luke Sanders went down on the exit of turn four, throwing away a chance at a podium finish. For the regulars, the contenders and past race winners it was a disaster: Lytras was in 10th, Bramich 16th, while Condon was the mover up to 12th.</p>

<p>Passfield was rumored to have chosen the odd combo of a slick front and wet rear, but no matter what he was running, he was still in fourth, just two seconds behind third placed Ty Lynch. Cameron Dunker is a renowned flat tracker and was a smooth as butter in the mixed conditions. The gap between him and Simpson was down to half a second.</p>

<p>Dunker continued his march to the lead, and the pressure he was excerting worked when Olly Simpson had a huge moment into turn one with two laps to go. Dunker was able to get .8 ahead almost immediately and set off for his first ever Supersport race win after a championship Supersport 300 year in 2022.</p>

<p>Dunker still had a .8 second lead into the last lap and was able to hang on for the win in his second-ever event in the Supersport category. Olly Simpson rolled through for second, but it was Scott Nicholson who took third after Passfield was shuffled back to seventh.

<p><strong>Supersport 300</strong></p>
<p>(<strong>Race One</strong> <a href="https://www.computime.com.au/Meetings/2023/ASBK23_2///ASBK23_2_R01.pdf">results here</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Race Two</strong><br />
Brandon Demmery would start from pole in the second Supersport 300 race of the weekend and the second-to-last race before the night sessions began in earnest. The commentators teased the assembled crowd with the usual weather talk, but we started the race without precipitation, but with Brandon Demmery off the front into turn one. Marcus Hamod had a great start and was up to second and Henry Snell was also away well and into third.</p>

<p>OJC graduate Ryan Larkin was fourth with Jai Russo nipping at his heels. Snell got through Hamod mid-lap while Demmery held a small .1 lead. The first trip down the straight saw the usual shuffling of the pack with Snell and Larkin being the biggest beneficiaries. Meanwhile, Race Direction noted the start was once again under investigation.</p>

<p>Cameron Swain had been stalking the field for some time and was now up to third with Ryan Larkin behind him. Swain was soon into the lead, and Demmery was happy to let them lead and observe for a time. Swain had his &#8220;I&#8217;d like to get away thanks&#8221; attitude in full effect and was out to a .5 lead over Snell and Demmery. At four laps to go, Demmery was back into the lead, dashing Swain&#8217;s hopes of a solo win. Russo was in third while Brodie Gawith and Henry Snell were fourth and fifth.</p>

<p>The lead group was seven deep and all were capable of taking the win. Brock Quinlan was down and the race was red flagged with six laps completed due to Quinlan&#8217;s bike being in a dangerous place. The lead riders looked at each other, understandably confused about who was the winner. Race direction declared Cameron Swain the winner from Brandon Demmery and Jai Russo after winding the clock back a lap per the usual red flag rules.</p>

<p><strong>Race Three</strong><br />
The night race for the 300s was still damp and so the teams took their cues from the just-completed Supersport race where those on wet tyres capitalised. Cameron Swain jumped away with plenty of company but lead through lap one with Brandon Demmery and Brodie Gawith second and third.</p>

<p>A chase group formed with Luke Jhonston, Henry Snell, Marcos Hamod and Jai Russo all jostling for position. At the head of the group, Demmery and Swain were swapping off but not breaking away. At six laps to go, it was still Swain and Demmery but they had plenty of willing company, but no definitive challenger for the top spot. Indeed, the leading pair were now out to a small but important lead of about 3.5 seconds.</p>

<p>Not realising that their dicing was going to end with no better result than third, the chasing group continued to box each others ears. The race was now down to Demmery and Swain and they spent the last few laps working out what to do as they headed to the finish.</p>

<p>Swain decided to try to establish a break of his own as he did at Phillip island a few weeks ago. He bever achieved more than a few tenths of a second and perhaps was playing into Demmery&#8217;s hands. Then there were reports of some rain falling- just to ensure the drama had drama on drama.</p>

<p>But Demmery continued to fox behind Swain, absolutely content to let him lead as we headed into the last lap. Their gar was out to 4 seconds, but Swain decided he&#8217;d had enough leading and slowed even more. You lead!&#8230; no sir YOU LEAD! But at the line, it was Demmery who picked Swain&#8217;s pocket for another win. Brodie Gawith was third, some 3.3 seconds behind with Henry Snell right behind him</p>

<p><strong>The bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup</strong></p>
<p><strong>Race One</strong><br />
A brand new experience sat in front of our juniors. You could feel the tension in the air, see the focus in their eyes and hear the last-minute motivational talks, it was time to go racing. While the weather forecast had predicted rain, we were fortunate enough to see a crisp, clear Sydney night and a dry track, slicks it was. In typical OJC fashion the Yamaha YZF R15s launched off the line and quickly went four or five wide into the flat-out turn one. It was a drag race to the infamous turn two and an opening group of riders emerged. Confidence under the lights was key in race one and it was clear who had it, the top 10 quickly established themselves and broke away from the second half of the field.</p>
<p><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Paige-McCauseland-5776.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12847" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Paige-McCauseland-5776.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="540" srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Paige-McCauseland-5776.jpg 1080w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Paige-McCauseland-5776-300x150.jpg 300w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Paige-McCauseland-5776-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Paige-McCauseland-5776-768x384.jpg 768w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Paige-McCauseland-5776-696x348.jpg 696w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Paige-McCauseland-5776-1068x534.jpg 1068w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a></p>
<p>OJC is designed to educate and teach our youngest road racers the fundamentals while building their confidence in racing situations, Sydney Motorsport Park was providing an excellent opportunity to do this for round one. The long run out of the final corner to the finish line meant that riders had a tough decision to make heading into the final lap – Where did they want to be? Put yourself in first position and risk being out-dragged to the line, or put yourself second or third and risk being shuffled back and missing and opportunity to be in that final drag race for the win.</p>
<p>The battle inside the top ten was heating up but a scuffle in the second half of the ten as they battled to position themselves for the final lap meant that the pack was now split. John Pelgrave, Riley Nauta, Rossi McAdam and Ethan Johnson were now off the back and unlikely to feature for the win. Race one finished as close as it started, with the top five separated by just 0.387 of a second as Haydn Fordyce, Valentino Knezovic, Hunter Corney and Ella McCausland went four-wide to the finish line for race one honours.</p>

<p><strong>Race Two</strong><br />
Slicks were the go and the go was slick for Bodie Paige who jumped away to a small lead, but with an enthusiastic group chasing. Immediately, race direction noted the start was under investigation after a few nervous clutch hands were faster than the start lights. By half lap, Bodie had a half second advantage with Archie Schmidt and Ella McCausland fighting for the right be first to chase Bodie.</p>

<p>Of course, this simply allowed Bodie Paige to grind out a slightly bigger gap. But McCausland was having none of it and around the time she took the lead of the race down the main straight she was also announced has having jumped the start.</p>

<p>Whether McCausland knew this via the race direction boards at the track was impossible to say, but she continued to race hard and remained close to or at the front for much of the middle part of the race. The leading group was now McCausland, Bodie Paige, Riley Nauta, Valentino Knezovic and Hunter Corney rounding out the top five.</p>

<p>At two laps to go, Paige led while McCausland was clearly measuring her run for the finale. The riders diced as they do through the last lap, all competing to get into the ideal spot for the run to the line. McCausland led, but seemingly didn&#8217;t want to.</p>

<p><strong>Race Three</strong><br />
The final Oceania Junior Cup race of the weekend was an exciting affair with plenty of action from start to finish. Ella Mcausland made a great start, quickly moving up to third after losing out in race two. Meanwhile, Bodie Paige took the lead by half a second and looked comfortable in the opening stages of the race, with the track not entirely wet and the back half dry.</p>

<p>Paige continued to lead the pack, with Nauta and Mcausland battling for second place. However, their fighting allowed Paige to extend his lead to one second on lap three. McAdam went down at turn two, but rejoined the race unharmed.</p>
<figure id="attachment_12825" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12825" style="width: 1080px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Fyffe-8412.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12825" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Fyffe-8412.jpg" alt="Racing was underway in the dark for the final OJC race of the weekend, the drying track made for interesting conditions." width="1080" height="608" srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Fyffe-8412.jpg 1080w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Fyffe-8412-300x169.jpg 300w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Fyffe-8412-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Fyffe-8412-768x432.jpg 768w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Fyffe-8412-696x392.jpg 696w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PitBoard-SMSP-OJC-Fyffe-8412-1068x601.jpg 1068w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-12825" class="wp-caption-text">Racing was underway in the dark for the final OJC race of the weekend, the drying track made for interesting conditions.</figcaption></figure>
<p>The lead group eventually split, with Paige signalling to the riders behind him that working together would be the only way to catch up. The group of four began to close in on Paige, but Oscar Lewis went down at turn two and Bodie Paige&#8217;s visor apparently started fogging up, causing him to wipe it repeatedly for visibility.</p>
<p>The lead group was now five strong, with a gap of 6 seconds to sixth. However, a mistake from Nixon Frost dropped him several positions from the front of the chasing pack. Mcausland made a great move from fifth to second at turn three, while Nauta was unseated at the exit of turn two, but able to continue.</p>

<p>The first sector was still wet, but Corporate Hill and T9 were drying quickly. Early podium sitter Lazos went down at T2, which claimed its third victim of the race. Paige took advantage of all the battling behind him to open up a multi second gap, eventually claiming a dominant victory.</p>
<div id="pitbo-277841250"><a href="https://www.ebay.com.au/str/ratedrcustommotorcycleparts" aria-label="RatedR-Advert-July-21-990&#215;120-animated"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/RatedR-Advert-July-21-990x120-animated.gif" alt=""  width="990" height="120"   /></a></div>
<p>Archie Schmidt made an impressive move from fourth to second at the turn nine hairpin on the last lap, while Nauta and Schmidt claimed the final podium spots. All in all, it was a thrilling race full of ups and downs, and Paige proved to be the strongest rider of the day. The overall round win went to rookie OJC entrant, New Zealand lad Haydn Fordyce who took up motorcycle racing less than a year ago&#8230;!</p>
