Mansfield's Binch Racing's Max Cook stayed on course for the British Superbike Championship Stock 600 (National Junior Superstock) class title after another victory at Snetterton at the weekend.

Some great race management saw Cook cross the line while nearest championship rival Louis Valleley fell from the race on lap seven.

R4R Vision Teams Dan Brooks finished the race in second place which secured him 20 points, seeing him elevated to second in the overall championship standings.

Slightly later than scheduled on Friday Binch Racing’s Max Cook took to the 2.96 mile Norfolk circuit for his free practise sessions.

Cook took his 600cc Yamaha R6 to the top of the time sheets, ending both of the 20 minute sessions as the quickest rider in the class.

In Saturday qualifying he missed out on an eighth pole position of the season by a mere 0.012 of a second to Jacob Hatch.

Once fog had cleared on raceday, Cook made the perfect start, building a nice gap from the chasing pack.

Settled in, comfortable and focused Max had a 1.56 second lead at the end of lap one. As he continued to build his pace by hitting his markers Max set the fastest lap of the race on lap with a lap time of 1.55.05, some 12 seconds quicker than the pole time.

From this point on Max continued to build his lead to a maximum of 5.84 seconds on lap 5.
