Plenty
of classes in 05
Husaberg
Supermoto series.
Road Race support and everone on a Supermoto.
The Husaberg Supermoto 2005 Series kicks off
at Taupo's Centennnial Park Raceway on the 22nd of May and
there are a huge range of classes for everyone.
As support the Supermoto series (which sees
riders taking in the purpose built off road supermoto section)
will have road race only Formula three machines and a Thumper
class for those (Supermoto bikes included) who wish to race
on a tarmac only course.
450 class added.

The specialist open Supermoto
class gets a boost with a new Kiwi Rider sponsered S2 class
put
in for good measure. This is made up of up to 450cc four
strokes and
300
two strokes on 17inch wheels. With the S1 class having
some truly big guns it felt that a huge number of 450 riders
were
perhaps a bit coy about their chances so the S2 class
has been added.
The S1 class should prove as competitive as
ever. It is
worth noting that young Blake Gillard won the last national
championship race (open
S1) on a bog stock KTM525 with wheels and a brake.
Of course there is the Stockmens class, which
as the name suggests has stock wheeled bikes. Many of these
guys would be right up there with the S class racers for
speed but it's perhaps a more affordable option. This class
is broken down into the various capacity classes with the
transponder timing and numbers permitting get there own individual
classes. sThe quads class is always a hoot to both watch
and ride in (by
the
look of it).
EVERONE can have a go.
Also new for this series is a "give a mate
a go session" (GAMAG session) where anyone who has been sort
of interested but can't bring themselves to get it together
can go for
a spin on, you guessed it, a mate's bike. Blake Gillard is
a prime example. " I wasn't that keen when I was offered
a ride but I thought oh well might as well have a crack.....now
I'm bloody hooked!". The motocross boys have the bike but
few have been that keen to step up. With the new S2 class
and
the
GAMAG sessions we are sure supermoto will have another growth
spurt this season.
The first race meeting is on 22nd of May. Check
