Skachill Racing Wins Third Suzuki Tri Series Title
2011-12-27

I am proud to announce that the Skachill Racing team secured the third Suzuki Tri Series title in a row.

This is a great achievement for myself and also to my team and sponsors that have helped and supported me along the way.

It was a tough series with both Jaden Hassan and Dennis Charlett pushing me along the whole way making for some great racing.

I am thoroughly looking forward to the racing to come when the NZSBK Championship kicks off in just over a weeks time at Ruapuna Raceway.

Here is some video from the final round at Wanganui

Skachill Racing at VMCC Round 5
2011-09-25

Hi all,

The weather is almost at a point where it is playing the game and is letting us get on the track in some half reasonable conditions which is great as it means we are getting closer to summer which means closer to the start of the summer season!

I attended the 5th round of the VMCC winter series and had my second ride on the new Suzuki GSX-R600L1 which was great and even after almost three months since last swinging a leg over a road race bike I felt right at home and qualified 1st in Formula 2 and 4th in Formula 1.

Race one of F2 was good with a very good start and lead the whole race and posted a best time of 1:08.9 which was respectable given the circumstances.

Race one of F1 was again a great start from 4th on the grid taking the holeshot to turn one in front of Scott Moir, Sloan Frost and Craig Shirriffs. It was spitting slightly and I decided to take it easy, then letting both Scott and Craig through coming into turn 6. I followed them around for a few laps by then the drizzle had stopped so I decided to make a pass on Scott moving back into second. By this stage Craig had pulled a considerable gap and I couldn't match the pace of the Suzuki Superbike rider so settled for a second position and best lap of 1:08.5 which I was happy with.

After lunch the rain came and spoiled the day and not having any wets I decided to call it a day and park the bike. It was good to watch some great racing in the two classes premier classes.

Over a good day and glad to be back on the bike. Now planning on doing some testing between now and the next round which is at Taupo raceway in 6 weeks time.

Cheers

Skachill Racing Prepares for 2011/2012 Season
2011-08-01

These winter months aren't so great for motorcycle racing, so I have been mostly absent from the race tracks recently but never fear we will be back soon and on a new bike.

For the 2011/2012 season we will be competing on Suzuki's brand new 600cc Supersport, the GSX-R600L1

So far we have had two days testing on the bike and results are instantly showing by going nearly half a second under the lap record at Manfeild Raceway. This is a great step forward and is only one of the exciting news for the 2011/2012 season.

Keep an eye out as more updates will be released soon!

Cheers,

-Glen "Sketchy" Skachill
