It was a tight battle at round one,
but a totally dominant performance
from 2016 national superbike
champion Sloan Frost at the second
of four rounds of the 2018
New Zealand Superbike Championships
in Timaru in early January.
T
here had been three different winners
in the premier Superbikes class at the
opening round of the series at Mike
Pero Motorsport Park in Christchurch
a week earlier – Christchurch’s Alastair
Hoogenboezem (BMW 1000RR), Glen
Eden’s Daniel Mettam (Suzuki GSX-R1000A) and
then Frost (Suzuki GSXR1000A) sharing the wins –
but the weekend at Timaru belonged solely to Frost.
Wellington man Frost qualified fastest at Timaru’s
Levels Raceway, just after lunch on Saturday, and
he then scored a hat-trick of wins in the racing
proper later that afternoon and the following day.
it’s certainly a huge boost
to my confidence getting
three wins this weekend
