OK, how many AULRO members who claim to be motorcycle enthusiasts turned up to see the second round of the FX-Superbikes Championship at Wakefield Park last weekend?

You will soon be able to see what you missed here when the images are posted:

Apart from the usual exciting racing and unfortunately a few spectacular crashes, there was some dyno testing of some of the bikes.

This image of the results of a handful of the superbikes is interesting. The standout is the BMW of Brayden Carr. Just look at the revs that thing is doing!

Other dyno results (and slightly larger graphs) are here:

As the graphs are labelled with the riders' names, you might need to go here and look at the "Provisional Classification" table to see what bike each rider was on.

We received a message from a friend's wife this morning. Her husband crashed in one of the WP races yesterday and broke his leg. We're still waiting to hear if we need to drive to Canberra to retrieve them both.

Was he the one who was helicoptered out after a three bike crash in the FX-Ultralights?

I don't know. He was on a Hyosung 650. I don't know which class that is. His name is Rishi Prabakhar and he would have been on bike 58.

Yes. Tomorrow I should have the video from a following bike. His team-mate received it this arvo and will make a copy for me to take along when I visit the injured rider on Friday.
