Motolites Round One.
Race One.
Everyone got away well with #60
Jason Dunn Honda RS85cr getting the holeshot.
Surprise on lap one Jason was off the track at the
uphill corkscrew, recovering to rejoin dead last
behind the Superlites. Newcomer to Motolite’s #888
Jack Robinson Honda RS150CRF had bolted into a good
lead with #73 Brodie Thackery Moriwaki 80 and #17
Adam Cameron Honda CBR150 swapping places battling
for 2nd and 3rd.
However by lap four Jason had
scythed through the field and was up to 2nd. By this
time Jack Robinson was out of reach, winning his
first Motolite race in his first ride on his new
Honda RS150CRF.
Jason finished second with Brodie
Thackery pipping Adam Cameron for third. #29
Harrison Wells Moriwaki 80 finished 5th with #11
Michael McLean Honda CBR150 6th and #170 Michael
Child 7th.
#53 Thomas Young Honda RS85cr retired
on lap three and took no further part in the event..
Race Two.
This time #60 Jason Dunn made no mistake with a
flag to flag win. Likewise #888 Jack Robinson had an
untroubled run to 2nd. Again #73 Brodie Thackery and
#17 Adam Cameron was in a do or die battle for the
final podium position swapping places several times
with Brodie waiting until the last lap to make a
pass stick snatching third by a mere 0.109 of a
second.
Michael McLean came in 5th with Michael
Child 6th. #29 Harrison Wells retired on lap two and
was finished for the day.
Race Three.
Due to some delays race three was shortened to
four laps. Jason had another faultless run to the
chequered flag with Jack Robinson finishing a close
second. Brodie Thackery this time managed to keep a
small gap on Adam Cameron to finish 3rd and 3rd on
the day. Brodie proved there is still life in the
venerable Moriwaki. His sparring partner for the day
Adam Cameron did well on what is a commuterlite with
a standard 150 engine. Some go faster work is on the
cards.
Michael McLean brought the red CBR150 home in 5th. Unfortunately for Michael Child his Supermono stopped on the start grid and he couldn't get it to start so no points for race three.

Superlite PRO 2016
Tim Smith got off to a great start to the year dominating the Superlite PRO class by winning all three races and going away with maximum points haul.
Race One.
Number 38 Junior Murphy (BBR Honda CB150) jumped into an
immediate lead followed by #2 Ken Lindsay Honda
RSC150 and #169 Ian Gregory Honda CB150 with #65 Tim
Smith slow to get away but slotted in behind the
King. However by lap three Tim had dispatched Ian
Gregory to 4th and on lap 4 he put away the King and
Junior and wasn't headed again taking out the first Superlite PRO race of the year.
The finishing order was #65 Tim Smith, #38 Junior Murphy, #169 Ian Gregory, next up was the battling brothers #56 Herman and Kurt Wagus Herman pipping Kurt for 5th. Final placing's was #94 John Olip Suzuki 100 (7th.) and #62 Jim Murphy CB150 (8th) final finisher in the class.

Race Two.
This time #65 Tim Smith made a great start leading from start to finish with Junior Murphy and Ian Gregory not far behind. On lap 4 Ian made a determined bid for second place but ended up doing some grass tracking and was lucky to hold the position. #2 Ken Lindsay was stuck in a battle with the Motolite of Michael McLean and could not break clear to join his Superlite compatriots up ahead.
Once again the the Wagus boys were hard at it with this time Kurt getting the upper hand. John Olip and Jim Murphy were in their own battle with Johns bike faltering on the last lap allowing Jim to finish 7th.
Race Three.
Once again Tim Smith made a perfect start but had a racy Ian Gregory the defending champion in tow and sure enough Ian went past in lap 2 and was looking good for his first win but it was not to be. Tim waited until the last lap and made a terrific pass for his third win of the day. King Kenny was holding a watching brief as the two ahead battled it out. Ken finished a close third which was a nice present to himself on his birthday.
It was a hilarious prize giving with cake and jelly shots celebrating the Kings birthday.
Junior came in 4th after battling race long with the Motolite of Michael Mclean.
Kurt and Herman Wagus and John Olip were in
a three way battle Kurt coming out ahead and John
getting between the very competitive brothers.

Commuterlites
The CommuterLite's popularity continues to grow. They are producing some incredible lap times (for the limited power they produce) and some great racing with some very talented riders emerging. The closeness of the racing is evident by the amount of races won and lost by thousands of a second.
#39 Ken Watson (Honda CBR125) was 2nd in race one and won races two and three fending off attacks from all-comers.
Commuterlite Pro 2016
Race One.
At the start #39 Ken Watson (Honda CBR125) got the hole shot but had a racy #555 Nicholas Miller (Honda CBR125) looking for a way past and #75 Corey Smith (Honda CBR125) and #41 Keo Watson (Honda CBR125) were also in the hunt. On lap two Nicholas made a pass stick and was never headed on the run to the flag. Keo got the better of Corey and this was the finishing order of the top four.
Number 3 Peter Lindsay (Honda CBR125) in his first outing in the PRO class held off the advances of #24 Tom Harrison (Honda CBR125) and #136 Ron Pulido (CBR125) to finish 5th. with #4 Martin Kraaymaat (Yamaha YFZR125) 8th.
Race Two.
This time #555 Nicholas Miller (Honda CBR125) got away to a great start but it was short lived as #39 Ken Watson Honda CBR125 went past on lap two and two laps later #41 Keo Watson Honda CBR125 slipped past pushing Nicholas back to 3rd. #75 Corey Smith (Honda CBR125) came in 4th.
A much improved #136 Ron Pulido (CBR125) found some pace to finish 5th. followed home by #3 Peter Lindsay (6th), #24 Tom Harrison (7th), #93 Robert Young (KTM125) (8th.) and #4 Martin Kraaymaat (Yamaha YFZR125) 9th.
Race Three.
Number 39 Ken Watson (Honda CBR125) had a flag to flag win to stake his claim for the 2016 number one plate. Defending PRO champ #555 Nicholas Miller (Honda CBR125) held 2nd first time around but on lap two #41 Keo Watson (2nd) and #75 Corey Smith (3rd) went past pushing Nicholas down to 4th., he had no answer to get back at them but held on to finish 4th.
Number 136 Ron Pulido again finished 5th. ahead of the duelling duo of #3 Peter Lindsay (6th.) and #24 Tom Harrison (7th.), #93 Robert Young (KTM125) 8th and #4 Martin Kraaymaat (Yamaha YFZR125) 9th.

Newcomer #7 Brodie Frewin (Honda CBR125) had a brilliant start to his first Commuterlite race to finish 5th in races one and two and an excellent 3rd. place in race three. #5 Michael lemon (Honda CBR125) had a disastrous first race dropping from 4th. to last. However he made up for it by finishing 6th. in the next two races.
Another newcomer #19 Jan Martizano (Honda CBR125) did well to finish 6th. in all the races. #12 Jessica Dykes (Honda CBR125) having forsaken the Aprilia for the more nimble Honda showed improved pace to finish 8th in races one and two but went missing from the results on race three. #66 Andy Lewer (CBR125) came 8th, 9th and 8th. with #84 Daniel Florence (CBR125), #84 James Wain (CBR125) #87 Ian Hancock (CBR125) filling the remaining positions.
