Ponyting and Woods will be joined once again by Ben Walsh in another WSM SuperUte, Walsh had a podium finish in the last round at Sandown Raceway, “The pace in the final race was hectic. I stayed in second place at the start but had to fight off Woodsy for a couple of laps. I started catching the leader slowly, about 1 tenth every lap but very very consistently” said Walsh on Facebook.
