ADRENALIN PUMPIN ACTION THIS SUNDAY JUNE 12 AT BARBAGALLO
Steel Blue WA State Road Racing Championships – Round 2
Good quality fields will produce some very competitive racing in all classes this weekend. The Steel Blue
Superbike line-up is one of the most talented that the state series has seen for sometime with no less
than 9 A grade riders competing. WA superbike riders were challenged by national superbike rider
Daniel Stauffer from Queensland who is guest rider this season for the Warp Speed BMW Team.
Local ace Mark Schnierer took pole position in qualifying but Stauffer took all three race wins from a
hard charging Jamie Boland ((Weld West Kawasaki ZX10). This round it is expected that the WA riders
will step up a notch not wanting to let Stauffer take control. Boland, Ralph Mammoliti (Causeway
Kawasaki ZX10R), Mark Schnierer (Causeway Rider Training Honda CBR1000) and both Ben (Allight BMW
Autoclassic ) and Cameron Stronach (Wattsy’s Motorsport BMW Autoclassic) riders will all be out to
challenge for the top three positions. The Stronach’s recent test day on the BMW’s produced some
good results with both riders getting into the 57 sec lap times. Lubi Safrenak (Dynapumps WTF Racing
Honda CBR1000) is another rider to watch. He leads the B Grade Series with fellow competitor Mark
Gill (Plumbsmart Honda 1000) leading the C Grade Superbike Series.
Steelblue Superbike Overall Championship Standings:
D Stauffer 75pts, J Boland 60, M Schnierer 52, C Stronach 50, R Mammoliti 48, B Stronach 43
Victorian Christan Casella supported by Aark Electrics on the Triumph 675 will return for round 2 giving
our local riders someone to chase and hopefully Josh Trigwell ( Happydayz Camper Hire Yamaha R6) can
snatch the lead this round, currently just two points down on the WesTrac Supersport Championship
leader Casella.. Up and coming Mason Coote (Wattsy’s Motorsport Yamaha R6) will take advantage of
learning from these two front runners as will Alex Scaglioni who returns after a spectacular fall last
round.
Overall WesTrac Supersport Championship: C Casella 65pts, J Trigwell 63, M Coote 54, J Coyle 52.
A number of new season riders have shown great potential in the Industrial People Clubman Classes for
both 600cc and 1000cc with some taking out podium placings at their first state round and moving
from D to C grade. Nicky Weightman (National Lintels Ducati 1098) took a good strong 2nd placing to the
experienced Mick Moralee with Robin Huth coming in 3rd. Mark Donnelly in his first full season of racing
is also proving to be someone to watch taking out both Clubman 600 races last round.
The two stroke 125GP bikes and the super slide Sidecars will also be competing. For Championship
points over three races each.
Sunday’s programme gets underway with Practice from 9.00am and non stop 18 event racing from
