Taupo’s Sco! Moir (Suzuki),
on his way to winning the
Suzuki Series last season
BUMPER CROP OF STARS
IN THIS BIKE HEAVEN
he 2018 Suzuki Series competition is
going to be another scorcher and it will
start to heat up in no time at all.
Suzuki Series road-race competition
organiser Allan ‘Flea’ Willacy says he has
been absolutely swamped with entries,
many of them from overseas, plenty of them
first-timers, and he will again have trouble
fitting them all in.
He said he may shortly have to close off
some classes, although he is overjoyed
with the huge interest being shown from
overseas too, and he believes the 2018
14 KIWI RIDER
edition of the series, set to kick off at
Taupo’s Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park on
December 9, could be the biggest yet.
The popular three-round series – with
Manfeild following as host venue a week
after the Taupo round, and the action
wrapping up on the public streets of
Whanganui on Boxing Day – is New
Zealand’s richest motorcycle competition.
It has again attracted a huge overseas
contingent, with top riders arriving from the
United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Germany
and Australia.
