9 August 1945 is possibly the date that had the greatest influence on the world as we know it today as this was the day that Bockscart dropped Fat Boy on the Japanese city of Nagasaki, forcing the unconditional surrender of the Japanese and the ending of World War II. That was seventy three years ago, and still the world cannot live in peace.

Undoubtedly the focus of the world was on the dramatic Thailand Tham Luang Cave rescue of the Wild Boar soccer team and their coach and though a diver sadly lost his life the efforts of everyone under the guidance of Australian SAAS Med STAR anaesthetist, Richard “Harry” Harris, deservedly received applause from across the globe.

Arriving at the Killarney International Raceway in complete darkness relates to winter and the weather certainly led to a number of withdrawals from the various categories based on not having wet weather tyres or simply not being willing to accept the challenge presented by a new surface. Considered a real neutralizer of power advantages the hardy Killarney spectators accepted the fact that it was going to be a wet day and still showed great support in being present in good numbers.

The sight of David McFadden and Brandon Haupt challenging their own sanity on the approach to Fastron corner at the end of the rather bumpy back straight of the 3.267km Killarney International Raceway is a sight that has spectators holding their breath every lap. Heat one of the RST Suzuki South Superbikes possibly the most intensely contested tussle of the day during round two of the 2018 Wingfield Power Series Regional Championship.
