O'Halloran: I need to just go for it at Thruxton

Aussie Jason O'Halloran is on track for a debut Superstock 1000 win with HM Plant Honda this weekend at Thruxton.

Aussie Jason O'Halloran is on track for a debut Superstock 1000 win with HM Plant Honda this weekend at Thruxton.

Australian Jason O’Halloran has scored two second places from the opening three races of the 2011 British Superstock 1000 Championship and is aiming to go one better this weekend in his quest to secure his first win of the season for the HM Plant Honda team.

O’Halloran has been in solid form so far this season, solely focused on claiming his first win of the year at Thruxton on Sunday.

“I think Thruxton should be good for us, we made some changes at Croft and we felt more comfortable and went from sixth on the grid to second,” the former Aussie Supersport champ said.

“I need to aim for a front row start and just go for it in the race. We know we are capable of winning with the package we have in the Fireblade, with a few steps forward in practice we should be up there ready to go on Monday.”

“Following the Croft round we know we have the potential to have another good weekend at Thruxton,” HM Plant Honda team manager Havier Beltran added.

“In the Superstock class Jason is looking to improve on the second place he had at Croft and maybe he can pull something out of the bag this weekend. He has been preparing hard and is feeling confident so we will see if he can go one better.”
