DANNY BUCHAN maintained his perfect record in the Pirelli National Superstock 1000cc Championship with a convincing victory at Oulton Park last weekend.
Buchan, who turned 21 last week, dominated the practice, qualifying and then the race to finish in a time of 22min 04.038sec, with Jason O'Halloran finishing in second 5.150 seconds back.
The Burnham biker said: "We had great pace all weekend. We tested here a couple of weeks ago at the official BSB test so, taking that into account, the Tsingtao Racing ZX-10R Kawasaki just worked awesome straight from the off."
As the lights went out for Monday's race Buchan took an immediate lead and had a 1.647sec advantage at the end of lap one.
O'Halloran then reduced the gap to 0.2 seconds for several laps but in doing so allowed David Johnson to take second place.
Buchan responded and increased his lead lap by lap, holding a steady four-second buffer. By lap eight O'Halloran had reclaimed his second place but was unable to match the flying Buchan.
Buchan added: "We knew we could do the times on the old tyre, so the plan was to get out there; get the head down and do as many quick laps as we could at the start. I actually ran on at the end chasing my own tail and 36-second laps, as I had it in my head all weekend.
"But I calmed down and concentrated on those 25 points. To come away from the opening two rounds with two wins is awesome and I can't thank the team and my personal sponsors enough."
Buchan also set a new class lap record, posting a 1min 37.177sec effort on the fifth lap of thirteen.
With a perfect score of 50 points from the opening two races Buchan now leads the championship by ten points from O'Halloran, with Adam Jenkinson a further 16 points adrift in third
Buchan now has more than a month to wait until he has the opportunity to add to his points tally, when the action moves to Snetterton on June 13-15.
