Race 2 was a tighter affair with the top three riders all<br />
separated by less than a second over the line. Pienaar this time<br />
took a fine victory ahead of Fourie and Mills, with Mokonyane<br />
not too far behind the leading trio in fourth. Schultz took a<br />
lonely fifth but was still super impressive and will no doubt be<br />
one to watch in the future.<br />
Open Superbikes Novice<br />
Seven riders exited Pitlane for what proved to be an exciting<br />
qualifying session. Muhammed Essop took Pole Position on<br />
his new BMW S1000RR ahead of Donovan van der Merwe<br />

fourth, Kevin Collings in fifth, Richard Wicks on his CBR600RR<br />
in sixth and Martyn Parry in seventh.<br />
Essop dominated race 1 by over 13 seconds and was the only<br />
man able to dip under the 2-minute mark with a 1.59.0 lap<br />
time. Barrington crossed the line in a lonely second ahead of<br />
van der Merwe in third, Mechanicos in fourth, Collings in fifth,<br />
Parry in sixth, and Wicks in seventh.<br />
Race 2 saw lap times plummet but it was once again Essop<br />
who took victory and the double win for the day, this time only<br />
1.6 seconds ahead of Barrington. Mechanicos had a fine ride<br />
to third ahead of van der Merwe, Wicks, Collings, and Parry.<br />
