Again some damn good results for Brad there John, the new bike does look to be matching the ability, so good things ahead.
But as you say, any joy no doubt somewhat tempered by the McMenamin incident which I first heard about on Saturday evening. As sad as it is, this is the nature and risk of the chosen sport and whilst I did not know Paul from what I hear he had already fought and beaten the maker a few times and no doubt went doing something he loved.
Rip Paul

Brads race report from Eastern Creek
Round 3 of the Red Baron FX Nationals and YMF Loan Australian FX Superbike Championship held at Eastern Creek, NSW. July 2011.
It was back to Sydneys Eastern Creek after a 2 month break in the Formula Xtreme series. My Two Wheel Warehouse Triumph 675 got a once over from Andy and Mike at AARK racing in Melbourne, after my last race at Phillip Island.
I was keen to get back to some fast consistent times during Fridays practise, but a combination of some wet weather and technical issues didn’t really allow this to happen.
Saturdays FX nationals started with a wet qualifying, but my confidence in the wet is growing, and I was able to get a good rhythm going and placed the Triumph on the front row.
During the three races I didn’t quite have the pace I was happy with, and ended up with a 6th 6th and 8th outright results. This placed me 4th overall in Pro Thunder, and another win in the F3 class.
The Red Baron FX nationals Pro Thunder points score see me still sitting on top:
Brad GLENNAN Triumph 675 175
Angus REEKIE KTM RC8R 150
Richard LIMINTON Ducati 1198 139
Sophie LOVETT Ducati 1198 129
Nathan MAHBOUB Aprilia RSV4 125
Darren LEWIS Ducati 848 110
Sunday was a new day, and I had a huge cheer squad coming out to cheer me on, so I was pretty determined to have a good day. A thick fog lay directly over the track, meaning qualifying was replaced with a 5 min warm up. All 3 races I got faster as the day went on, and was feeling a lot better on track. I ended the day with a 7th, 4th and 6th places outright, again placing 4th overall in Pro Thunder, and once again winning the F3 class.
I had some great fun close racing over the weekend with Simon Galloway, Darren Lewis and Phil Lovett, and hopefully we provided the crowd with some spectacular action!
I moved up to 2nd in the Pro Thunder standings, after beating close rival Richard Limington in all 3 races, and the top 6 looks like this:
Angus REEKIE KTM RC8R 217
Brad GLENNAN Triumph 675 165
Richard LIMINTON Ducati 1198 155
Darren LEWIS Ducati 848 120
Sophie LOVETT Ducati 1198 114
Mick JOHNSTON Ducati 848 108
Once again a big thanks to all my cheers squad who came out to watch on Sunday, my dad for his help in the pits, and my sponsers Two Wheel Warehouse, Southside runners, and Kaneg Products.
A big big thanks goes to Andy and Mike from AARK racing, who got the Triumph 675 back running like it should, helped me out with a few spare bits and pieces I needed over the weekend, and provided me with invaluable technical advice to give me a direction to head too with the bike set up!
Cheers
Brad Glennan #39

Saw the race on speedweek today, not much coverage of Brad, or any mention really apart from he is coming 2nd.
They didn't even really mention his class.
