Friends issues had been sorted and Loureiro had a glint of confifence in his Carl-Fogarty-like eyes.
What with the fact that Aitken was sat with his arm in a sling, it was left to Loureiro and Friend to fight it out for ultimate glory in race two. Dominic Doyle took fourth, followed by Jenna Eekhout and Reinhald Joubert rounding out the top six. Friend worked his way through from last place to cross the line in second with Luca Coccioni on the final podium step. Lorreiro won the first heat in emphatic style and showed just why he is competing in Europe in 2015. Cam suffered light injuries but was not able to race again on the day.
Then suddenly after finishing the half way mark, Aitken had a massive tank slapper going into turn one after trying to make a huge move to gain time on the dominant Lorreiro but alas it was too much for hime and his steed and and both rideer and bike hurtled into the outfield. This made for a two-way fight for the lead for the first five laps of the race between Loureiro and Aitken. Unfortunately for Friend, his bike was struggling to engage gears and the clutch seemed to be playing up so he had to start from pit lane. However under the guidanbce of SuperM star, Beau Levy, Joubert is sure to propser soon enough. New comer to racing, Reinhald Joubert (Motos Klerksdorp KTM) made gains every lap finding the transition from his 675 down to the 390 a little tough having to rely on corner speed to make a good lap. The mid pack was as close with Luca Coccioni, Jenna Ekhout (RAD Moto KTM) and Dominic Doyle also within a fraction of each others times. Dorren Loureiro (RAD Moto KTM), Cameron Aitken (RAD Moto KTM) and William Friend (RAD Moto KTM) were substantially quicker than the other riders but were within tenths of a second of each other making for a three way battle at the sharp end of the field.
This bodes extremely well for last years runner up in the championship and his title hopes.ĭuring the early-morning qualifying session.
#SUPER JUNIOR CLICK AND DRAG SERIES#
Forming part of the days festivities was the first round of the newly established budget racing series for youths, the Super Junior National Challenge and the Super M National Championship.īeau Levy of Motos Klerksdorp made easy pickings of the Super M class over the weekend leading every session and race to take overall honours on his RC8. Jr Dragsters for sale on are both new and used, and a great entrée for the kid who is ready to race, or the parent ready to pass on the knowledge and love of speeding down the straight.This past weekend saw round one of the National Superbike Championship get underway in the mining town of Welkom and more specifically at Phakisa Freeway. The NHRA and IHRA sanctioning bodies both have race classes for Junior Dragsters where they can compete and earn points towards championship standings, just like their full-sized brethren while gaining the skill set to really punch it off the starting line.Īccording to the NHRA, the Jr Dragster class was started by Vince Napp, who built the first half-scale version that was presented to the sanctioning body, already in the market for a vehicle class for younger drivers. While smaller, these race cars can still do up to 85 mph on an 1/8 mile track (although mostly, younger racers are restricted from going this fast) but they are a great way for the 5 – 17 year olds to get their thrill on.
#SUPER JUNIOR CLICK AND DRAG FULL#
Junior Dragsters are half-scale versions of full sized Top Fuel drag racing vehicles with single cylinder, five-hp engines powering these long nosed racers.
