COMPETITION Shane Baxter leads the way in the Competition bracket, with the Victorian racer currently on 125 points ahead of defending champion Craig Geddes (100), Ralph Lewis (90), Matt George (80) and Adrian Vella (70). “It has been a bit of an up and down season for me, I have only had really the one good finish at Portland which has got me (to the top of the points ahead of Perth),” says Baxter. by ear. Craig (Geddes) will be over in Perth and he will take the lead from there I would say, so it will be tough run to the finish line – but we are not laying down! “We are trying to power up at the moment, and if everything goes to plan we should be running okay over in Adelaide and be in with a show.” “We haven’t done a lot of travelling and we won’t be going to Perth, so we will be hard pushed to win but we will be giving it a crack, that is for sure. We will go and do our best and play it COMPETITION BIKE Tony Frost put himself on the top of the points ladder (110 points) with victory at Adelaide International Raceway in October, but the Victorian isn’t alone up there at the pointy end. Snapping at his heels are Phill Paton (90), Robert Cassar (80), Justin Townson (80), Daniel Natalotto (60) and Jim Hanlon (60). “We have only had the one round in Victoria for Competition Bike, and we also raced in Adelaide – of course we would have liked a few more rounds but I was lucky enough to win in Adelaide and hopefully we can have a good field for the Grand Finals,” Frost said. “The bike is broken at the moment, but we are hopeful it will be fixed in time for Adelaide and hopefully, we can do well again! “I think the championship will probably go to a West Australian, but we will see!”
