1 Russell HOLLAND Honda CBR RR 19
2 Adam FERGUSSON Honda CBR RR 19 3.444
3 Jamie STAUFFER Yamaha R1 19 10.796
4 Shannon JOHNSON Kawasaki ZX10R 19 16.239
5 Glenn ALLERTON Honda CBR RR 19 18.583
6 Daniel STAUFFER Yamaha R1 19 20.852
7 Scott CHARLTON Yamaha R1 19 25.675
8 Andrew STROUD Suzuki GSXR 19 26.609

The Aussie champs are obviously quite tough! I now have a new respect for what Tony Rees was doing when he was racing fit over there.

Or is Stroudy loosing it???

He may be down the feild, but he is the first Suzuki home

**k14** · 4th June 2006, 16:30

Yeah I also read that charlton's engine in his r1 is bog standard apart from power commander and pipe. Now thats a damn good result if you ask me. Stroudy is doing pretty well. How different is his bike to the one he used for the nz champs?

Same as in NZ except no Yoshimura piston,s, not allowed in Aussie.

Race 21 Jamie STAUFFER Yamaha R1 19
2 Russell HOLLAND Honda CBR RR 19 1.931
3 Adam FERGUSSON Honda CBR RR 19 8.746
4 Daniel STAUFFER Yamaha R1 19 19.762
5 Andrew STROUD Suzuki GSXR 19 21.930

Now he's getting some where

Would that be the same Shawn Giles that Andrew beat in the NZ championship, or a is that a different one?

Nah - Stroudy is great but these Aussie track racers seem at a slightly higher level of intensity and more of them. Yet - Kiwis are generally far better at street type racers, IOM etc.
Think its got anything to do with the types of roads we all ride on....more twistys in NZ and frigging great long slightly weaving roads with a few bends, over in Oz?
