Superbikes at Ruapuna 2015

What a hectic weekend.
Soul searching, late nights, broken toes and fingers, stripping one bike to make the other run - the Red Baron Team.

Last minute adjustments




A dedicated effort by dedicated racers and their teams











NZ Superbike Champ Denis Charlett broke a finger and a toe on the Friday, but came out of it with two wins and two seconds on the Sunday. A long weekend in anybody's standards! 

The final superbike race of the weekend was also the NZ Grand Prix. 
James Smith on a Honda CBR-1000RR started well and held the lead for the first 4 laps. Charlett on his Suzuki GSX-R1000 slowly pulled him in and took the race in trying conditions.

Christchurch boys James and Alastair Hoogenboezem dominated the 600 Supersport class.
