With the changing extremes of high temperatures for Saturday's Practice and Qualifying then rain, dry, rain and then drying conditions for the four races of the Final Round at Sydney's Eastern Creek Raceway, it was a determined Martin who collected strong points from every race (4th, 4th, 2nd & 1st) to come out ahead for the Round and move into second overall at the last Race which Martin won. The Round Points speak for themselves:

Only Wheeler and Fyfe came away from Round One with points. This increased the importance of the Final Round to secure a Championship position.

RIDER COMMENTS:

“The changing conditions tested everyone and it was very difficult racing both days, tyre choice and consistency made the difference and while the time sheets do not look pretty, the result sheets say it loud and clear that consistently finishing races is very rewarding”.

“As I missed Round One I had not planned to enter the State Championship, Promoter Terry O'Neill called and said “you never know what might happen”, he was right. My thanks goes to Terry for his encouragement, thanks to the other Pro-Twins riders and their Crews who helped me change wheels and settings to get me out for the wet races, also to the Monza Imports / Dunlop guys who changed tyres all weekend. A special thanks goes to White's Racing Products and Brigdestone Tyres for Full Wets and Slicks that are great in all conditions”.
