Trophies Up for Grabs

With the SsangYong New Zealand Superbike Road Race Championships drawing to a close this weekend, a number of trophies are up for grabs. Not only are the New Zealand Road Race titles being awarded, the New Zealand Tourist Trophies will also be run this weekend March 10/11 at Pukekohe Park.

To cap off a fantastic season, the following trophies will also be awarded. The Manufacturer’s Trophies in both Superbikes and 600 Sports Production and the much-coveted RK Chain Trophy
Manufacturer’s Trophy
In 2006, Motorcycling New Zealand’s Road Race Commissioner Paul Stewart instigated a Manufacturers Championship to be run in conjunction with the SsangYong New Zealand Superbike Road Race Championships for New Zealand’s Premier road race classes (Production Superbikes and 600 Sports Production).

This season so far, Suzuki is leading in the Superbike class and Yamaha is leading the 600 Sports Production class.
This weekend will see sum amasing racing and one of the Manufacturers triumphant.

The RK Chain Trophy:
The RK Chain Trophy is donated by W Whites Ltd and awarded to the highest points scoring Superbike rider running RK Chain during the 2007 SsangYong New Zealand Superbike Championship.
The highly decorative Samurai helmet is present each year, making an impressive addition to any rider’s trophy cabinet; so far this year the charge is being lead by Honda’s Hayden Fitzgerald from New Plymouth.
