With the Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) dates still failing to surface for the 2014 season and constant rumours of what may be happening next year, teams and riders are finding it increasingly difficult to formalise a 2014 race plan.

CycleOnline.com.au spoke with a number of the domestic front-runners from this year to see how their plans including the search for sponsorship are coming along for next season.

ASBK privateer champion Glenn Scott believes starting the year off doing both ASBK and the newly rebranded Australasian Superbike Championship Series (ASC) is the best course of action for his InsureMyRide Racing Team.

“For 2014 I am really excited to run by team again and continue what we did this year,” said Scott. “Obviously with ASBK dates still up in the air I just hope they start to confirm dates soon.

“I have both ASBK and ASC in mind and would like to compete in both if we can find enough support for the year. Where the sport is at the moment, you just can’t enforce a direction.”

Ben Henry is considering a switch to the ASC series, unless ASBK and IEG come up with a firm and attractive 2014 package.

“As of now I have committed to the ASC series,” Henry commented. “But if ASBK and IEG come up with a package for next year that I can’t walk past I will return and race there. If not, I will most likely just do the ASBK rounds that run alongside the V8 Supercars.”

Chas Hern continued the trend of what most riders are going through at this time, with that being no certain 2014 race-plans. Hern did say however, that his 2014 plans will be finalised in the very near future.

“We will be doing something next year for sure,” said Hern. “We are still trying to work out what series we will run in and until the rules come out we don’t know where we’re at.”

Greg Maher, team manager of Racers Edge Suzuki, could not confirm what series they would be racing in – potentially sitting out the year altogether.

“Due to the the uncertainty of the racing and the emotional strain that it is taking on us, we are not sure where or even if we will be racing next year,” Maher admitted.
