Team Honda Racing's Jamie Stauffer is the in-form man of the ASBK entering round six.

Team Honda Racing’s Australian Superbike Championship contender Jamie Stauffer will be looking to pick up where he left off – in victory lane – when the series continues this weekend at Queensland Raceway.

Stauffer qualified on pole and won round five in June at Queensland Raceway, boosting him up to second in the series behind runaway leader Glenn Allerton.

Stauffer’s return to the winner’s circle was an important confidence booster for the rider and his team, but he knows that his rivals will have been working hard to bridge the gap.

“If we can pick up where we left off last round then we’re looking good, but I know there are other guys out there that want to get a win in the books,” said Stauffer.

“I’m going there to win races and I need to be scoring as many points as I can each time out.

“You can never really predict the conditions and pace at Queensland Raceway until you’ve actually ridden it.

“The track can vary from morning to afternoon and the grip levels will almost certainly be different each time out given the amount of car racing across the weekend.”

The round five result elevated the New South Welshman to second in the points chase behind Procon Maxima BMW’s Glenn Allerton, who still has a tidy lead of 56 points.

The 2+4 events feature a combined grid of Superbike and Prostock racers, and the separate Prostock Challenge will continue to intensify.

Riders will have 20 minutes on Friday morning to find a suitable setup ahead of Friday afternoon’s Qualifying 1 and Saturday morning’s Qualifying 2.

The top eight times in Qualifying will advance to QBE Superpole to determine the front row of the grid for Saturday and Sunday’s 20-minute races.
