Consistency was the key on Sunday as Team Honda Racing‰Ûªs Josh Hook took out overall hounours in the Superbike class at the 2014 Swann Insurance Australasian Superbike Championship at Queensland Raceway.
Hook managed to record second, second and third placings from the three races to finish five points clear of teammate Jamie Stauffer (first six and fourth) and another point ahead of Troy Herfoss (fourth, fourth and second).
The result capped off a wonderful weekend for Team Honda Racing ‰ÛÒ the Superbike podium stamping the team‰Ûªs authority on the prestigious class.
An accident in the opening race proved costly for Next Gen Motorsports BMW‰Ûªs Glenn Allerton, as his 18th place finish netted him a measley 3 round points.
Allerton bounced back to win the second and third races of the class, but it was only enough to hand him fourth place overall for the round.
Leading the class coming into the day, Team Motul Honda rider Wayne Maxwell had a mixed day of results (15th, third and fifth), rounding out the top-five.
At the halfway point of the series, Stauffer has taken an 11-point lead in the outright standings from Maxwell, with Herfoss a further 23 points behind.
In the Supersport category, South Australian Daniel Falzon performed a clean sweep, winning all three races and laying his claim as a series championship contender.
Series leader Aaron Morris had a consistent day out on the track, finishing second in all three of the races to finish clear in third outright.
Maxima Yamaha rider Aiden Wagner rounded out the overall round podium with a fourth and two third-place finishes from his three races.
On the overall championship leaderboard, Morris has a five-point lead from Falzon, with Wagner a further 10-points behind in third. Callum Spriggs, who was leading heading into the round, was a non-starter due to injury.
Round 4 of the 2014 Swann Insurance Australasian Superbike Championship will take place at Winton Raceway from 1-3 August.
