This weekend SBK is at Kyalami for the first time since 2002.
The track is about 20km from where I live but I won't be going as I am a bit cash-strapped this month
If Ben Spies takes pole he will achieve something that has only been done once before, back in 1991 Doug Polen took 5 consecutive pole positions.
It is a beautiful day today with no chance of rain so we should see some good lap times in first practice today.
Apart from Max Neukirchner, Troy Corser and Makoto Tamada won't be racing this weekend. Corser's BMW will be ridden by test rider Steve Martin and Tamada's works Kawasaki has been give to local rider Sheridan Morias. Morias has dominated the local 600 and 1000 Superbike series on Kawasaki this season. Neukirchner has been replaced by Fonsi Nieto.
As I get practice times I will post them.
