78 <strong>SuperBike</strong> By Clinton Pienaar Images: Eugene Botes AND WE’RE BACK RACING AGAIN! After what seemed like an eternity we are back at it again, but with strict Covid 19 restrictions. The world has changed the last few months but thanks to the perseverance of the FIM and in turn MSA, we eventually got it right to be able to return to circuit racing. Yes, no spectators are allowed and that make’s our days seem a little dreary but it does not stop the action. Sadly it would seem as if lots of the racers are a little rusty as we’ve had a lot of incidents on the track with crashes and mistakes. Luckily none of them too serious and all will heal with a little time. What is great about this year is we have the guys from Steamit360 Live Streaming our events and anybody anywhere in the world can sit either on their phone, in front of a computer or TV and you can watch our series live or recorded. It’s there all the time on www.streamit360.tv, thanks to RAD KTM and a few other sponsors for making this possible. Then if you live far away but would still like to be able to be more part of the action, we have an active Facebook page Super- Bike Mag Short Circuit Series where you can go see all our photos and comments of all involved. Please just go follow us. I’ve always said that it is the kids that feed our sport and luckily with the backing of Linex Yamaha and KTM SA we have put three little “celebrity” bikes on track for youngsters to get a feel for it and have a go. This has largely contributed to adding new people so thank you guys, it’s much appreciated. Then in our big class, the 450 SuperMotards, we now have 5 classes for these guys with over 60 participants, our blue chip class being SM1/X is seriously something to behold. It’s our country’s best riders all on equal bikes, the top 12 qualifying within a second of one another. The end result is racing in it’s most spectacular form. Two or three abreast sliding into corners with the tyres screeching and bikes roaring. I had a few random people say that it’s the most spectacular form of racing available now, and being totally un-biased, I have to agree. Our next event is on the 19th of <strong>September</strong> at V Town, let’s hope the spectator restrictions gets lifted and we can invite you guys to come and watch again, but if not, go to the above web site and have a look at what you are missing. Dorren Loreiro is an absolute machine sliding his Husqvarna FS450 into the turns Chris Wright, the rest are getting closer but he still has the CBR 150 Championship under control, the boy gives the rest a very high bar to follow. They are a class act.
79 Keith Botha of Race-Day TV Fame was our celeb rider for V Town, he came back exhausted but loved it and will be back. TK was our rider in the SM1 class with our road tester Juan Ballester fighting for positions in SM2. Zontes Cup grid Grant Frerichs leading Dorren Loreiro, Brandon Goode and Aston Nesbitt
