What they said… Supersport
1st – Brayden Elliott (Suzuki) – Brayden Elliott Racing
“It probably hasn’t really sunk it yet but it feels amazing – to get off the bike and be able to celebrate with my family and everyone that has helped me out, it’s a pretty amazing feeling not only for me but for them too.
“I really owed this to them – especially my family, so it feels great and I’m glad that we can finally wrap it up for the year.
“I didn’t feel pressure as the team were really good to keep it as low pressure as what we could make it – I probably had a lot more nerves than I normally have and normally I am the sort of rider that if I can get to the front I like to try and pull away.
“I had to put myself in a different situation just to hang back and not do anything silly – so it was a little bit funny out there but I was counting the laps and looking forward to crossing the finish line and seeing that chequered flag.”
2nd – Kane Burns (Suzuki) – GJ Gardner Homes
“I am pretty happy with that – it is nearly a dream come true, but really it is great.
“I have learnt a lot this year – it has been a great series and a pleasure riding with Brayden and everyone else.
“Starting from 13th on the grid there was always a lot of pressure, but at the end of the day it was a long stretch to win the championship.
“I would have been a lot more of a hope if I was on the front row, but I feel like I have done pretty well and we will see what happens next year.”
3rd – Aaiden Coote (Yamaha) – YRD
“We were racing against Australian champions here you know – Brayden has already got the championship this year and we managed to get in front of him, Chas (Hern) is a well seasoned competitor and there are guys that have won lots of Dirt Track titles.
“It’s a strong field and to be racing for the race lead it has been fantastic..
“We have had a lot of support from the guys at Castrol, Shoey, DriRider and Ryco, and more locally especially the guys at Signpro. It’s been fantastic with financial sponsors, my family, you can’t do it yourself so the support has been amazing.
“We will absolutely be here in ASBK next year and I am really looking forward to it!”
