From there though ‘The Boss’ was unstoppable as he
took out Western Australian
local Damien Harris in the quarter final and Ben
Bray in the semi final, both with a superior reaction time at the start
line.
He then lined up against the last of the local hopes
Mark Sheehan in the Final and in a fantastic side by side race (5.75 to a 5.80)
that had the crowds on their feet, managed to take his first Top Alcohol win of
the season and move to the top of the National Championship
table.
“This has been a fantastic weekend for the team here
at the Perth Motorplex, we really couldn’t have asked for anything more with me
taking the win in Top Alcohol and Pete (Cochrane) taking out Pro Stock Bike,”
Stevens said.
“There were no easy Rounds for me in the Kitten Car
Care Products Funny Car either with each race going right down to the
wire.”
“But I managed to get the Win light every time and
have now taken the lead in the Championship which we will be doing everything
possible to keep for the rest of the season.”
“I’d really like to thank my hard working Kitten
Funny Car crew for their efforts and also like to congratulate Pete (Cochrane)
and the S&S Racing guys for their great performance in Pro Stock
Bike”
Cochrane added to the team’s success by taking his
first ever Pro Stock Bike win aboard the Brett Stevens Racing prepared S&S
Powered Pro Stock Buell.
On top of the win he also Top Qualified, grabbed both
the ET and MPH bonus points and re-set the National Speed Record to 188.28mph
(303.00kph).
“I have really been putting the pressure on myself to
perform this season on the S&S Buell and it is great to finally get the
monkey off my back and break through for the win.”
“I am over the moon that we have been able to do it
in such style as well, this will be a weekend that I will remember for a long
time and I’d like to thank Brett Stevens, S&S, my crew and everyone that has
helped make this happen.”
“The job isn’t over yet though and I now have the
National Championship in my sights as we go into the back half of the Australian
Pro Stock Bike season just 15 points off the lead.”
