Chas Hern Racing/ Kirk McCarthy Award/ Underground Design Racing Race Report
With some improvements thought to be made after the race test last month where Chas won the Super-Sport class and recorded some very fast lap times, the team and rider were all set for a strong result at the 4th round of the Australian Super-bike Championships held at Sydney's Eastern Creek. It was a new era in Australian Super-bikes with the Aussie cars joining the fun as well as Sidecars making an appearance.
Two weeks after the last round of the A.S.B.K in Queensland, The Chas Hern Racing/ Kirk McCarthy award team headed off for Sydney for the second round of the Australian Formula Xtreme Championships.
After the devastating 2nd round at Tasmania, the Chas Hern/Kirk McCarthy Award team were off to Queensland raceway in Ipswich for Round 3a and 3b of the ASBK. It is the furthest circuit of the season and the team decided it was to much of an expense to test at the circuit so they would have to work hard and fast in order to get the Suzuki GSXR 600 up to speed.
With limited free time between Tasmania and Queensland, Chas decided to take part in the 1st round of the Victorian Inter Club Championship at the Island. This was Gena's first race for the year as well so he had double duties with making sure her 400 was in good order.
