More Thursday Morning Moto Racing News - Kawasaki, Donington and Lowry

MSS Colchester Kawasaki has signed 22-year-old Howie Mainwaring for the 2010 BSB National Superstock Championship. He has a great deal of experience in other BSB series and had good results. With his new team, though, he now has factory backing. That makes him dangerous - in a good way! The Superstock series is full of top-notch talent and you will not want to miss the 2010 season - it will be tough.

Now we hear from the owner of Donington Park, Kevin Wheatcroft, that he is hoping to have the lease sold to someone new by the end of January 2010. That would be good news, and I very much hope he is right, as the track is close to being in the past-tense. They already have a short list (14) of entities interested, so it just might happen!

Ian Lowry may have finally found a home for the 2010 British Superbike Championship at Hydrex Honda - joining fellow racer Stuart Easton. Since Relentless Suzuki has already solidified their team, he has no choice but to look elsewhere and this team is a very good match for his talent.

Relentless Suzuki Dominated Northern Ireland's Sunflower Event

Relentless Suzuki's Ian Lowry was the most prominent in the 5 race win weekend. He won the Sunflower Trophy as he won the the Sunflower Trophy race - and he won the first superbike race of the weekend as well. His teammates Alastair Seeley, Michael Laverty, Lee Johnston, John Holden and Andy Winkle also had a great weekend by either winning their class race or placing high on the podium. Well, I guess my post about the GSX-R1000-K9 gets some more support...

Ian Lowry Plans to Take His Suzuki to the Top of the Podium at Sunflower Trophy Race

Lowry did well in the British Superbike Championship, improving so much that his team put him as number 1 rider in 2009 after Atsushi Watanabe could not get the job done. At Oulton Park, he finished a respectable fourth in the final race. Now, he will join many of the BSB teams and compete in the Sunflower Trophy race this coming weekend in Northern Ireland.
