"I'm going back to Germany at the end of
January, so the New Zealand Supercross
Champs will be the only racing I'm now doing
at home this season."
Motorcycling New Zealand supercross co-
ordinator Noel May said he was thrilled with
the rider turn-out at Tokoroa.
"It was pretty awesome," he said.
"About 18 months ago we had a meeting in
Taupo and came up with a strategic plan to
build a pathway for the riders, rebuilding the
juniors, so that they feed into the seniors in
the future and what we saw here at Tokoroa
absolutely kick-started that.
"Entry numbers were up 40 percent on last
year and we had more support classes here
too. I want to tip my hat to the Junior Lites
and Junior 250s too for turning out in force,
and then having a dozen riders entered in
SX2 and 10 in SX1 was great too. The junior
250s will kick on up into the SX2 class really
soon, so that's positive news going forward."
The Tokoroa event was supported by Craig
Stevens Yamaha and the Winton event by
Brent Scammell Honda.
