Museum Hotel Racing - Championship Campaign Update

**sisterecho** · 9th January 2008, 12:24

This is just a quick update on Jay Lawrence (Jayracer37) and the Museum Hotel Racing Team’s 2008 New Zealand Superbike Championship campaign.

The team gathered on Sunday to finalise preparations and methodically pack the vehicles for the big trip south. It is amazing how many tyres are required for three Championship rounds!

Jay and his father Andrew crossed a choppy Cook Straight early Monday morning and are now based in Timaru. Along with team member Anthony McCarthy they travelled to the test day at Ruapuna yesterday and were very pleased with how things went. They had been given compound tyres from Continental and tried the soft compound for the first time. The day was spent developing the bike to best suit these tyres. At the end of the day lap times were significantly faster than was expected five days out from racing.

The team moves to Christchurch again on Thursday where Team Mechanic Hamish Laing will join them for the first round at Ruapuna.

Jay has been struggling with a strep throat infection and the flu for the last week but is confident symptoms will have disappeared well before he pulls on the leathers at Christchurch.

Thanks so much for your support, we will try to keep updating regularly so you can continue to follow our journey.

From Cowpoos' lockup to my house. But that's a long-term goal. The planets must be properly aligned before this can happen.
