commissioner Andy Skelton and New Zealand Superbike Championship ( NZSBK ) series coordinator SJ Cavell both agreed the racing had been “ exciting throughout ” the entire series . “ It has been a fantastic series ,” said Cavell . “ It has been a pleasure just to have this series happening because throughout last year it was looking like the series may not go ahead , due to financial constraints . “ With the help of Whanganui ’ s Flea Willacy and the Cemetery Circuit organisation , we were able to pull something together along with the sponsors that came on board . We are thrilled we were able to go racing this season .” This season ’ s main sponsor was PTS Logistics , who transported airbags to the rounds at Ruapuna , Timaru and Teretonga , while other partners for the championship included Coregas ( nationwide industrial gas supplier ) and Race Supplies ( Motorcycle race parts supplier ), with Moto Movers and BRM Dyno also supporting the Pro Twins / Super Twins class and Bartercard offered prizes for all the dedicated marshals and ‘ flaggies ’ in the series .
