Got a text from Stephan today to say that Cam had qualified 8th for the Supersport race tomorrow. Apparently they have been chasing a decent setup for the last couple of days.

Hi all. We did chase a set up all free practice sessions and qualifying, which is not an ideal situation. Cam set his fastest laptime in the last lap of qualifying and put it in front of his closest rival in the privateer standings, Christian Csalla, in 8th position on the grid.
We were very positive with the race set up and how Cam was getting progressively quicker through the sessions. After a great start, he ended up in fourth by turn 2, unfortunately, he then lost the front into turn 3. The bike slid out onto the grass and flipped, distroying the tank, rear rim, tailpiece, subframe, front upper fairing and instrument cluster. Cam got away with no injuries and just a few bruises.
The bike was too badly damaged to get it back on the grid for race 2, so we had to take the number 2 bike. After the start of race two, he fell back from 8th to 11th by turn 5. He then fell back progressively after every lap and pulled into the pits on lap 5 with technical problems.
We had a positive weekend in regards to finding the speed after a slow start to the qualifying, but a negative weekend in regards to racing and concolidating our position in the overall standings. But we will battle on and emerge stronger for the experience at the next round in Mallala.

Now go sharpen some pencils and see if Pauls coffee is hot enough, bloody slack pit bitch!Supported and kept fit by sigpic

^^^Oops
Belated I know, but I just saw Cam's crash on ONE tonight. It looked absolutely shocking, so I'm so happy to know that he came out of it just fine. The commentators both made the point too that Cam will come back the stronger for it because he will learn from it.
Thanks for continuing to keep us in the loop Stephan on this and his other races.
