The signing session was popular Thrills and spills on track T he two-day festival of motorcycling, over the weekend of March 3-4, promised a huge variety of high-octane excitement and that’s exactly what it provided for the bumper crowd of bike fans who rolled through the gates of the popular North Waikato motorsports venue. Loads of family fun The jam-packed programme of activities featured on-track and off-track action that was spellbinding and the third round of the New Zealand Superbike Championships was an integral part of that, with three races run for each of the nine championship classes, the national title hunters sharing the race track also with classic motorcycle racing and the Carl Cox Motorsport Hyosung Cup races. Also squeezed into the programme were several Pirelli Track Sessions, for amateur riders, and the Kawasaki Public Trail Ride. KIWI RIDER 49
