Hawk Kawasaki Heading North of
the Border
Round 8 - Knockhill Circuit - 14th - 16th July 2006
After the one-month summer break, Hawk Kawasaki are
preparing for round eight of the Bennetts British Superbike
Championship this weekend, 14th - 16th July at Scotland’s premier
racing circuit, Knockhill.
With a depleted rider line-up, Hawk Kawasaki will be fielding only
Craig Coxhell (23) and Peter Hickman (19) at the short 1.3-mile, tight
and twisty Scottish circuit. Dean Thomas is still recovering from the
high-speed crash involving Suzuki rider James Haydon at Snetterton.
Thomas who is on the road to recovery will miss this round at
Knockhill and next weeks race at Oulton Park, with the hope of
returning at round ten, Croft circuit in North Yorkshire.
Hawk Kawasaki have continued to extend their commitment to pure road
racing, after the fantastic performance by Carl Rennie at the Isle of
Man TT. Ian "Hutchy" Hutchinson had a fantastic debut outing on the
ZX10R at Olivers Mount, Scarborough last weekend. Gaining a second
position in the first Superbike leg plus an incredible win in the
second Superbike leg and Supersport Class. A minor crash in the second
Supersport race put him out of contention for another win. He went on
to win the main event of the day, the Cock of the North trophy, the
first time Hutchy has won this in his four years of competing at the
event.
Team Manager of Hawk Kawasaki was delighted with the results
commenting "It was a brilliant couple of days racing for Hawk Kawasaki
taking their first national victories this season. I would like to
thank Ian for his professionalism, he did a fantastic job. We are now
preparing for the newly resurfaced Knockhill and I'm hoping that Craig
and Pete will be able to put on a good performance up there and get
some good results for the team."
