Daniel Reardon and Chad Reed in a class of their own -ozzy go-

In front of a full house at Barleigh Ranch Racetrack in
Raymond Terrace, Kawasaki Racing Team Rider, Daniel Reardon,
proved he has what it takes to challenge the worlds best.
With determination, fast pace and uncompromising performance,
the Pro Open rider, took on Chad Reed head to head and

“I had a feeling Chad was right behind me, but as my bike was
really fast, I was able to stay out in front for over half of
the race. Chad really put pressure on me in the second part of

“We began to lap the field and I had to work really hard to
