The Carlton Dry Honda Racing team have rounded out this weekend’s double-header round of Milwaukee presents the Terex Australian Supercross Championship at Darwin’s Hidden Valley Raceway with second place podium results for both Weston Peick and Gavin Faith.
Peick, who looked a lot more comfortable on board his CRF450 in Sunday’s round, got a good start in the Pro Open final and battled Kirk Gibbs for the lead over the open laps of the race.
The American took the race lead on Lap 5 and managed to keep championship leader Matt Moss at bay until Lap 10.
“We had a lot better day today,” Peick said, “We made a lot of changes to the bike for today and everything seemed to come together better.
“I got a good start and it helped to not be fighting from the back. The team is coming together I am starting to get more comfortable on the new bike.”
At the conclusion of the double-header round at Darwin’s Hidden Valley Raceway Peick sits third in the championship standings behind Matt and Jake Moss.
In the Pro Lites class Gavin Faith took his second podium of the weekend finishing second behind Luke Styke.
Styke and Faith will leave Darwin tied on championship points at the top of the standings. Faith admitted a lack of seat time probably cost him a better result today.
“I got a pretty good start behind Styke but I struggled a little bit,” Faith said. ”I wasn’t quite used to the bike. I had a very short time on the bike and I struggled with arm-pump pretty bad.
“I am heading back to the US in between but I am looking forward to the next few rounds. We will regroup and I will come in a bit earlier so we can do some testing.”
The next round of Milwaukee presents the Terex Australian Supercross series will be held at Mt Gambier on October 12
