Round 1 – Classic Superbike Racing Association 5 Feb 2022 Redstar Raceway. The old Dogs go out to play… Word – Paul Jacobs Pics- Shirley Pinkerton, Beam Promotions and Eugenes Digital prints. With stormy weather on the cards for the weekend, riders were scrambling for rain tyres during the week leading up to the first round on the CSRA Championship race at Redstar Raceway on the 5th of February. Rain was bucketing down on the way to the circuit on Saturday morning but somehow stayed away from Redstar leaving the track dry, with the exception of ground water flowing over the track at the “dog bone”. This made qualifying and Heat 1 rather exciting with riders giving their all on every corner, only to dramatically slow to cross the stream in the dog bone, before belting it around the rest of the dry circuit to put in a good quali lap. 22 Riders lined up for race 1 with Invitational rider AJ Venter on the Mike McSkimming F2 1100 Katana on pole outqualifying the “newer” GSXR1100’s and FZR1000 of Paul Jacobs, Jaco Gous and Matthew Herbert. Venter proceeded to blitz the field in race 1 and ran low 2.01’s on his 35-year-old F2 machine winning by over 18 seconds from second placed F1 rider Gous and Paul Jacobs, with Tom Maritz coming home forth on track and 3rd in F1. Matthew Herbert was caught out on the wet surface in the dog bone on lap 2, being launched over the highside of his FZR1000 and lucky to walk away from the huge crash with a mangled helmet and a serious headache. Sarel Pottas pipped Fergal McAdam to the line in the F2 class for 2nd and 3rd in Class, with Lionel Black on his GSXR750 coming home 4th in class. Race 2 was a similar affair with AJ bolting away ion front, Gous and Jacobs battling for 2nd position and Tom Maritz a distant 4th. Newcomer Grant Mills was home next from Pottas, Dyl Pinkerton and Leon vd Berg, who returned to racing after his big crash in East London last year. As ever, the “old men” enjoyed the massive flow of adrenaline that race day brings and as usual, the “I am racing for fun” attitude vanished when the lights went out!! The Battle will commence in the Motorcycle Racing SA series, again at Redstar Raceway on 12 March – spectators are welcome so come and relive the heydays of 1980’s racing, take a walk around the pits, meet the riders and see their immaculately prepared Classic Superbikes up close!
