It shows you have to ride every round, & be consistant. Either way Im pretty happy with the year, Im still getting faster, my times are dropping, the FZR is one of the fastest bike out there, & Im enjoying the racing.
Cheers Steve

There's no question about it. If you don't ride every round you can't expect top five.

Still, and keeping that in mind, you had a good year, and most importantly of all you enjoyed yourself!

Hope you can afford to keep at it next year... and I wish you all the best for if you do.

Thanks John..
You are exctly right!! I did enjoy myself, The year started off bad, but with the help of the EXUP team & some ideas of my own we worked out the bike issues, & things turned out pretty good all round.
I'll be back next year for sure. I have one very important meeting left this year..>> http://www.the6hour.com.au/index.html
A very sad meeting for me & many others... The end of an era.. :sad

You are on the list. You gotta be happy with that.

Well done and good luck at the 6hour meeting.

Well done Steve. Next year for sure.

Good to see three Yam's in the top 5, and a FZR750 1 point off the the lead.

Any info on the #2 Bike? Cheers

Richards no 2 bike, is a bitza FZR/YZF 750 with an 810 kit in it & worked of its head! It goes like a shot cat. That bike is the only bike that can make a bike lenth or two on my FZR down the straight. He is a very good rider as well..
In one of the races we came onto the straight together & by the end he was two bike lenths in front of me doing 240+ Ks!

So mid-field despite only getting about half the racing done... that's
a really good result, especially all things considered. GO TEAM EXUP!

Thanks Cam, Im pretty happy.
Yeah the year started off with the Barry Sheene meeting, which wasnt a real humdinger, but once we got the fuel issues sorted out things turned around.
Its funny I finished 11th in last years championship too.
You'd have thought I would have improved a little?

But the bike good now, so I can race with confidence. Im still slowly getting those old skills back, so things are rosie.
