“The award was recognition for the
best-performed newcomer, who
demonstrated he had potential to go
forward in the sport,” said Broad. “The number of entries wasn’t huge, but the
entertainment value was fantastic. We are
looking ahead now to next season and building
on this and keeping the fans coming along.”
“Carlin (Hedley) is starting to develop
as a promising supercross rider and he is
an extremely enthusiastic individual.” Transdiesel eni Lubricants sponsored
the series, while the Winton event was
additionally sponsored by Brent Scammell
Honda and the final round at Tokoroa was
supported by Craig Stevens Yamaha.
Cooper added comment that the “racing
throughout this series was incredible”.
