Suzuki Trans-Tasman Challenge

Posted: Sat 07 Oct 2000

The Suzuki Trans Tasman Challenge motorcycle section of the LK500 is hyping up to be something quite outstanding. Ear-mark Nov. 4/5 weekend for Pukekohe.

There will be 9 motorcycle races - Pirelli Tyres Sports Production 600cc, Sports Production 600 & open and the Trans Tasman Challenge Formula Xtreme. Who will be there? Well, think of the top names in Australian motorcycle road racing, especially in Formula Xtreme and you will have the answers.

And, in New Zealand, waiting to get to them on their own home soil, expect to see the top names of New Zealand road racing itching to get their own back.

Entry forms, Supplementary Regulations & other information have been posted out, contact me if you need one, or go to our website heading \"Hot off the Press\" on http://motorcyclesport.co.nz for everything.


Actually the whole weekend of the LK500 & Suzuki Trans Tasman Challenge will be a boomer. The long distance 4 hour LK500 Car race features just the very best names of motorsport, and in some cases the only time you will see them in action on home soil.

Two time World Touring Car Champion Paul Radisich will drive a Falcon AU to lead the Yellow Pages two car team. Main opposition from the Holden camp will be a VT Commodore driven by Aucklander Paul Manuell.

And for our two wheeler interest watch Greg Brinck & his Holden. Greg learnt how to hard charge as a former motocross rider a long time ago.
