Round 2 – Bennetts British Superbike Championship Meeting Donington Park, Leics. Friday 7h to Sunday 9th April 2006 MORE POINTS FOR THE BRIDEWELLS DESPITE DONINGTON DELUGE In between a number of downpours worthy of the tropics, round two of the 2006 British Championship season was fought out in unseasonably cold temperatures at a wet and windy Donington Park yesterday but despite the merciless conditions, Etchilhampton near Devizes in Wiltshire brothers Tommy and Ollie Bridewell both added to their points tallies in their respective championships. Racing in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship for only the second time, 20 year old Ollie followed up a superb performance at Brands with even more points in race two at Donington after just missing out in the opening leg. After taking avoiding action to avoid a fallen rider at the very first corner, Ollie battled his way through the field form dead last and was as high as 17th when the red flag came out following another incident. The former runner up in the Virgin Mobile Cup made amends for it in race two however, with a brilliant ride into eighth place in monsoon conditions, overshadowed only by Vivaldi Racing team mate Scott Smart, who took an historic victory. As a result, Ollie lays in joint 16th place in the series, alongside works Rizla Suzuki rider James Haydon. “I’ve never been so wet and cold in my life but I’m very pleased to have claimed 8th in race two. I was dead last, half a lap behind the field, after nearly crashing to avoid Tommy Hill in the opening race and had it gone the distance, I’m confident I could have salvaged some points. But well done to Scott and the team on a fantastic result, it has made me even more determined to get on that rostrum this season” said Ollie. Meanwhile younger brother Tommy had to endure perhaps the worst conditions of the afternoon in the British Supersport Championship which was first delayed and then stopped after oil was deposited onto the wet track. In the restart, the 17 year-old battled against the opposition for six laps to bring his Vivaldi Suzuki home in a fine 13th place to add three valuable points to the a single point he scored at Brands Hatch two weeks previous and now lies in joint 17th in the thirteen race series. “I’ve never been particularly good in the wet so to finish in the points is a really good achievement for me. The conditions out there were horrible and my bike wasn’t handling at all well so you can imagine my relief when I saw the chequered flag. It’s all about learning for me this year but I hope I don’t have to race in conditions like those again for a long time. Still, two points-scoring rides in the opening two rounds is what we wanted and roll on Thruxton this weekend” said Tommy. Indeed the next round of the respective championships takes place this forthcoming weekend on Easter Monday (April 17th) at the Wayside Racing Team’s local track of Thruxton in Hampshire whereby both riders will be looking to add to their scores, hopefully in drier and warmer conditions. More, from a press release issued by Cartersport Motorsport Media, on behalf of Stobart Motorsport: Bennetts British Superbike Championship – Round 2 Donington Park, Leics 8th/9th April LAVERTY FOURTH AT RAIN LASHED DONINGTON Stobart Motorsport rider Michael Laverty overcame some of the worst conditions seen in recent years by recording a fourth and seventh place finish in round two of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at a wet and windy Donington Park today. The 24 year old from Toomebridge, Co Antrim followed up a superb fourth place in the opening leg, held in the dry conditions, with a battling seventh in the deluge which was race two to end up sixth in the Championship going into next weekend’s third round at Thruxton. It wasn’t quite such good news for team mate Michael Rutter who followed up a seventh place in race one with a battling performance in race two which saw him dicing for the lead only to slide out at Redgate Corner towards the end, much to his frustration. As a result Rutter lies in ninth position in the Championship after two rounds. Michael Rutter: “I’m disappointed as it has been a frustrating weekend. In the first race I was lacking a bit and couldn’t stop the bike, it just kept wanting to run into corners really fast and in the second race I was struggling with rear end grip like everyone was. It just came round on me and highsided me and threw me down the road. We were up there with them and I wanted to finish on the podium but it wasn’t meant to be.” Michael Laverty: “I was happy enough with the first race. After the pace car came out I lost a bit of time because it took some time for my tyres to get warm again. I got faster as the race went on and I think I could have challenged Leon Haslam for the podium as I know I can run in the top three. In the last race I just kept it as steady as possible and tried to bring it home so I was happy enough with seventh place. Everything is looking positive for the next few races and we’re getting stronger and stronger.” Team owner Paul Bird was frustrated by the weather and commented “We’ve had a difficult day but this is what happens sometimes. It was good to see Michael (Rutter) up there and challenging for race wins and that’s where we need to be but he was just caught out with the bad conditions. Michael (Laverty) is going from strength to strength and is now a serious contender for a race win. We now need to make all our results count from here on in.” The next round of the Championship takes place at Thruxton next weekend.

With varying weather conditions throughout the weekend, race day was no better with wintry showers hitting the Leicestershire circuit. Conditions were worse than they have ever been at a British Superbike meeting for the last five years and this effected the Hawk riders dramatically. Australian Coxhell qualified 10th, the best of the three riders with Thomas in 15th and Hickman 19th on the grid. A huge crash into the first corner in the first race saw the safety car despatched onto the circuit for three laps to enable the marshals to clear the debris. All the Hawk riders managed to avoid getting tangled up in the melee. Race one finished with Thomas in ninth, Coxhell in 11th and a DNF for Hickman. Sheffield based Thomas gradually worked his way through the field from his 15th place start and manoeuvred his way through to tenth. He became locked in a battle with Rizla Suzuki’s James Haydon and Vivaldi rider Scott Smart. As Thomas and Haydon were side by side on the exit to Coppice Corner and with the rain just beginning to fall, the Rizla rider crashed out missing Hawk rider Thomas by inches. Coxhell was running at a steady pace throughout the race still learning the Hawk Kawasaki and adjusting his riding style. Peter Hickman who celebrated his 19th Birthday on Saturday was running in a strong 14th position and lost the front end into Coppice, which saw an end to his chance of his first Superbike points. The race was red flagged on lap 13 due to the increasingly bad weather conditions, with it rapidly getting worse as the day progressed. The second race was almost a wash out with 13 of the 29 riders crashing or retiring including Thomas and Coxhell. Hickman was the sole finisher for Hawk who finished just outside the points in 16th position, a very creditable position under the circumstances. It was later revealed that Craig Coxhell has a broken collarbone and will be fighting to get fit for the third round next weekend at Thruxton. A disheartened Thomas said “I had to pull in from the second race as I had no rear grip what-so-ever. I’d already seen Craig crash and didn’t fancy joining him. We had a 15-minute wet session before the second race and I suffered a pretty hefty crash in that, which has certainly left me feeling a little worse for wear. I was happy to have finished 9th in the first race but we have to sort some issues out with the bike before Thruxton.” Coxhell, who was certainly suffering in pain, was still upbeat saying “I was gutted to have crashed as I was up to 5th and had the front runners in my sight. I set two fastest laps, one after the other and I know that if I had stayed on then there was a good chance I would have been on the podium. I guess I was a little eager and the bike just came round on me and flung me over the bars. I landed heavily and had it confirmed that I have broken my collarbone. I’m gutted as we have a back-to-back weekend and I might have to miss the next round if it’s not healed.” Rookie to the series Hickman said, “This certainly is the worst weather conditions that I have ever ridden in. The first race was a bit of a nightmare and I had a small off, I was determined that I just wanted to finish the second race in one piece. The conditions certainly didn’t make that job very easy but I got there. I’m still enjoying it but it’s very difficult, I was gutted not to have scored any points but hopefully it won’t be too long coming now.” Race One Result: 1) Gregorio Lavilla 13 laps, 2) Ryuichi Kiyonari +0.134, 3) Leon Haslam +5.246, 4) Michael Laverty +9.361, 5) Shane Byrne +9.591, 6) Karl Harris +10.540, 7) Michael Rutter +11.533, 8) Jonathan Rea +20.235, 9) Dean Thomas +22.451 (Hawk Kawasaki), 10) Scott Smart +23.216, 11) Craig Coxhell +23.881 (Hawk Kawasaki) Race Two Result: 1) Scott Smart 15 laps, 2) Leon Haslam +0.576, 3) Gregorio Lavilla +2.297, 4) Gary Mason +5.943, 5) Jonathan Rea +30.786, 6) Tommy Hill +33.586, 7) Michael Laverty +36.829, 8) Ollie Bridewell +59.273, 9) Chris Martin +59.297, 10) Malcolm Ashley +1:04.142, 16) Peter Hickman + 1:33.684 Overall Championship Positions Lavilla 82 Kiyonari 58 Haslam 56 Harris 41 Smart 33 Laverty 31 Rea 30 Byrne 26 Rutter 25 Thomas 23 Mason 23 Hill 20 Coxhell 18 The next round of the British Superbike Championship is Easter Weekend, 14th, 16th and 17th April (No Track Activity on Saturday) at Thruxton Race Circuit. For more details go to www.hawkkawasaki.co.uk More, from a press release issued by Paul Young: Youngy survives Donington deluge for 16th place PAUL YOUNG played it safe on his Triumph Daytona 675 and came home in 16th place at the second round of the Metabo British Supersport Championship while conditions played havoc with other riders and the event race schedule. He said: “It was more important for me to stay upright as we only have one bike and only three days between Donington and Thruxton. To be honest I felt it was a sad and sodden event. In fact I’ve never been to an event that was more abandonable! I would be interested to see what would cause a postponement now that the organisers have ITV coverage. Nuclear assault or terrorist activity only I reckon!” The Hinckley based Aussie added: “I know it’s the same for everyone, but half the field in every race ended up in the kitty litter, it was a lottery and one I wasn’t prepared to buy a ticket for, so I went steady. I wanted to load the bike up in the van in one piece at the end of the weekend. I would have loved to score some championship points, and I usually go well in the rain, but pushing harder could have meant three days of repairs instead of three days working on improvements! At the moment developing the bike is the important thing.” With many of his rivals looking at bent and battered bikes on Monday morning, Youngy has spent his time on the dyno finding more power from the 675 triple for this weekend’s race. “I’ve found something useful on the dyno which means I’ll have more horsepower for the race at Thruxton,” explained Youngy. “The bike was feeling better at Donington and we’re getting more power out of it. Thruxton and Oulton Park are my two favourite circuits so I want to go there with the best bike I can and get some good results” British Supersport round 2 results.

USGPRU West Round 2 Beaubier and Reiswig Take Reno by Storm Odenton, MD. The 2nd round of the USGPRU’s West Coast Region stormed into Fernley, Nevada with a winter storm on their heels. The gorgeous white-capped mountains provided the perfect setting for a western showdown. On Saturday during 125 qualifying, Tyler Reiswig continued his early season dominance by taking pole and setting the 125cc lap record with a 2:40:035. Jon Schendel qualified second posting a 2:41:403 and Kid’s:Don’t Smoke!/Roadracingworld.com’s 12-year-old rider Elena Myers took the final front row spot with a 2:45.136. Young gun Cameron Beaubier suffered mechanical issues and ended up last on the grid. In 250cc qualifying Ryan Ferris 2:38:171 overcame earlier mechanical issues to take pole. Reiswig turned a last lap time 2:38:197 after coming in to grab a new transmitter and at 2:40:639 Jon Schendel aboard a Honda RS125 completed the front row. In the 125cc GP race, the hole shot was taken by Reiswig. Beaubier got a killer start and by the start of the second lap, he was hot on the heels of Reiswig. The 13-year-old Beaubier tried to break 16-year-old Reiswig as each set a new lap record at least twice. Reiswig looked to be stalking the younger rider and setting him up for a last lap pass. Unfortunately for Reiswig, a mechanical issue on the last lap prevented him from a podium finish. Kid’s: Don’t Smoke!/Roadracingworld.com’s Elena Myers was able to capitalize on Reiswig’s bad fortune and grab the final podium spot. Perennial favorite Jon Schendel unfortunately mounted a Bridgestone Superbike tire instead of a rear 125cc slick and never got to challenge for the lead. Beaubier would walk away with a new 125cc GP lap record of 2:36:097. In an effort not to repeat Phoenix, Reiswig took the holeshot and opened up a convincing lead in the 250cc GP event. This time he kept on the gas for all 9 laps to take a decisive victory and set a new lap record of 2:36:017. Ryan Ferris, who dealt with tire balancing issues, overcame a poor start to take second and Cameron Beaubier would again find the podium aboard his Honda RS125. The battle of the race was between Jon Schendel aboard his Roland Cushway tuned RS 125 and Kid’s: Don’t Smoke!/Roadracingworld.com’s Elena Myers aboard her CN Racing tuned Honda. Early on it looked like Myers had an insurmountable lead for Schendel to challenge, but down the front straight Schendel effectively used the draft to make a pass during lap 5. The two battled through lapped traffic and Schendel was able to use his experience to take 5th. Jorge Artola decided that the 9 lap race was too easy so he gave himself a 30-second penalty and added a 50-yard dash to the start of the race to bump-start his RS250 and catch the field. The USGPRU would like to thank Chris Keane and Zoom Zoom Trackdays for hosting this spectacular event and Reno-Fernley Raceway for the awesome racetrack!

Racer Nicky Moore caught his left thumb in the countershaft sprocket on his Yamaha YZF-R6 during a WERA West race on the Classic Course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Classic Sunday. According to a race official, Moore reached down when he encountered a problem with his bike’s shifter. His glove was sucked into the uncovered countershaft sprocket and about 1-inch of his left thumb was severed. Moore had been banned from Saturday afternoon practice following an altercation with Chris Siglin at the exit of pit lane. Siglin said afterwards that he pulled up next to Moore following an intentional on-track punt that left his front brake lever bent outwards, flipped up his visor and asked Moore about the incident. In reply, Siglin said, Moore hit Siglin hard enough to knock him off his bike; Siglin said he then jumped up and tackled Moore off his bike and that the pair wrestled on the ground. Moore said that he unintentionally hit Siglin when Siglin suddenly slowed as if he had missed a shift, and that Siglin then followed him (Moore) into his pit, T-boned Moore’s bike, knocked Moore over and threw his (Siglin’s) bike on top of him. “Siglin T-boned me in the pit,” said Moore, who also said that Siglin had kicked at him on track and tried to ram him on track following the collision. “He came at me first. He rode his bike straight into my bike.” “That’s a blatent lie,” said Siglin. “I pulled up next to him at the exit from pit lane, next to the bathrooms there. All I did was flip my shield up and ask him WTF. He threw a right cross hard enough to knock me off my bike, and then I got up and tackled him and we kind of rolled around on the ground. While I was on top of him somebody was kicking me in the head.” Officials intervened and banned both riders from Saturday afternoon practice and at first also banned them from Sunday’s races. Both riders appealed and due to conflicting stories (from both the participants and from witnesses) of what actually happened, both were allowed to race on Sunday. Siglin said he suffered a broken finger in the melee. Moore said he would be consulting with a specialist for treatment of his severed thumb and hoped to be able to compete in the AMA National at Barber April 21-23; the severed piece could not be re-attached. Moore said he was not sure why the countershaft cover was not installed on his motorcycle. “We usually have that on,” he said. According to legal experts, the standard liability releases signed by racers do not cover intentional acts.

By Beth Dolgner Robert Jensen was the top rider during the WERA/Michelin National Challenge Series sprint races at Talladega Gran Prix Raceway on Sunday, ending the day as the only Expert rider to earn multiple wins in the 12-lap races. Jensen started the day with a win in Open Superstock on his Butler Machinery Suzuki GSX-R1000, beating Vesrah Suzuki’s Lee Acree by 2.660 seconds. Acree’s teammate Tray Batey held off Ben Thompson to finish third. Acree, Batey and Thompson were all riding Suzuki GSX-R1000s. The 600cc Superstock race proved to be tougher for Jensen, who crossed the finish line only 0.069-second ahead of Acree. The two riders pulled away from the rest of the field, leaving Brian Gibbs to circulate by himself in third. All three were on Suzuki GSX-R600s. Jensen seemed to have the 750cc Superstock race wrapped up, after taking the lead from Acree on lap 11. But after taking the white flag, Jensen low-sided in the high-speed sweeper turn on the back straight. The lead went to Acree on his Suzuki GSX-R600. Mark Junge was nearly two seconds behind on his Vesrah Suzuki GSX-R750, while Daniel Parkerson was another 13 seconds back on a Suzuki GSX-R600. Formula 1 was the final race of the day, and it belonged solely to Ben Thompson and his Suzuki GSX-R1000. Thompson took the lead at the start and immediately pulled away, leaving Jensen, Batey and Acree to battle for second. Acree finally got past Jensen and Batey and gave chase on his Suzuki GSX-R1000. Acree closed the gap on Thompson, but was never able to get past. Jensen finished third on his Suzuki GSX-R1000. Garrett Carter took the 600cc Superbike lead away from Parkerson on lap 10, going on to win by almost one second on his Yamaha YZF-R6. Parkerson, on a Suzuki GSX-R600, pulled away from Keith Marshall, who was also riding a Suzuki GSX-R600. Marshall found himself at the front in his next race, 750cc Superbike. Justin Marm led most of the race before high-siding in turn three on lap nine. Marshall inherited the lead on his Team Embry Suzuki GSX-R600, and he crossed the finish line about five seconds ahead of Andrew Nelson on a Yamaha YZF-R6. Tony Palarie followed on a Suzuki GSX-R600. Tray Batey got back to his old ways in Heavyweight Twins Superstock, pulling away from Taylor Knapp to win by 8.895 seconds. Cale Swiger followed in third. All three were on Suzuki SV1000s. Brian Suffridge and Jeff Walker battled early in Lightweight Twins Superstock, but Suffridge got past on lap two and never relinquished the lead. The two pulled away from a battle for third, which went to Steve Green. All three were on Suzuki SV650s. Walker later won the Formula 2 race, again on his Suzuki SV650. Green gained a position, running alone in second, while Tim Birdsong trailed in third. Green and Birdsong were also on Suzuki SV650s.
