WHAT A DAY FOR THE FINAL:
The final round of the 6 round Suzuki Championship Road Race Series ended on a high note - fantastic racing all day, with 7 of the 10 classes having to be raced for right to the last day, in fact some of them to the last few feet.
With 148 riders all wanting to make the last round of the 2002 series their best effort, racing was to say the least, keen.
And the midday "expression session" was just off the earthly planet!
Racing was followed by the Awards Evening with series prizes for sponsors, helpers & riders. The sun set on a very successful series thanks to all those who were involved.
Results of each of the 21 races, and the overall series points are now posted on our website :Motorcyclesport.co.nz - under "2002 Suzuki Championship Road Race Series > R6 results or Series points.
