Shayne Homes of Cyanide Racing recently took out, not only the 2010 Castrol Edge Winternationals, but the 2009-2010 ANDRA Competition Bike Championship on one of the smallest bikes in the field, his Suzuki GSXR600, D/SB.After a challenging year Shayne was able to enter the Winternationals with a healthy 170 points trailing behind Championship favourite, David Rundmann on the maximum 200 points.

Originally planning to compete with an all new bike, but due to a parts delay Shayne decided to concentrate on his existing ride with a number of changes including a new tune from Steve at Powerhouse Dyno-tuning.Early testing showed promise, with the changes enabling Shayne to fend off more fancied rivals to become Top Qualifier for Sundays competition.
