Due to the unique way in which the Bennetts British Superbike series works, Jason O'Halloran doesn't lead the points table despite having more wins and podiums than everyone else.

The McAMS Yamaha rider ran away with the pre-Showdown part of the season but crashes and chatter after the manufactured cut-off have left him ten points behind team-mate and series leader Tarran Mackenzie.

O'Halloran is praying for sunshine at this weekend's season finale so his R1 is at the top of its game at a circuit where he took three podiums - including a win - earlier in the year.

"I think we'll resume normal service and be fast and be at the front. For us it will be better if the track temperature was up a little bit. We can't affect what the weather's gonna do, but if it was dry, it will be nice," O'Halloran told bikesportnews.com.

"I'm positive for the weekend, we had abgood setting there in the middle of the year which we will go back to for this weekend we use that in a number of different tracks and I won a lot of races on.

"I'm looking forward to the weekend putting the bike back to where it was in August, and just getting on with it to see what we can do."

O'Halloran has suffered with chatter to a greater or lesser degree through the season but the lower track temperatures in the autumn coupled with bumps at Oulton st him back with a brace of spills outweighing a podium at the Cheshire track - a place where he won all three races at the season opener.

"I crashed twice, first one was from chatter at Knickerbrook and then the second one, a little bit of chatter at Cascades and just an odd, odd crash. First race on Sunday wasn't bad with a second but disappointing to have to DNF.

"It was first first bad weekend of the year and obviously first weekend of the Showdown that got decimated so it put us on the back foot a bit, it was a bad weekend for us and not not the best way to start the three-round chairmanship.

"I had a little bit of chatter at Donington which we're trying to get rid of as well. Seems to be when the temperature has changed a bit, we seem to have got more of it but it's not exclusive to us, there is a lot of talk in the paddock."
