Stable-mate and KRT rider, Scott Charlton enjoyed a successful race meeting taking out 2nd place in the Superbike class. Fellow KRT rider, Shannon Johnson didn’t compete, resting an injured wrist in preparation for the upcoming Australian Superbike Championships.
Following up from his recent 3rd place fi nish at the A1 GP support races at Eastern Creek, Shawn looks like he’s found his groove again quickly after taking a year off from Motorcycle racing in 2007. Shaun experienced a consistently solid race meet, finishing on the podium in 3 of his 4 races to win the round.
KRT rider, Scott Charlton’s 2 Supersport race wins at the same meet wasn’t enough to finish him on the podium after crashing in the 1st race. He finished 4th place overall. Scott rode strongly on the promising new Kawasaki ZX-10R in the Superbike races to fi nish 2nd overall in the class.
Shaun was very happy to win the Supersport class. “It’s a great result for myself and Kawasaki. Dave Cullen and I have been making changes to the suspension on my ZX-6R and it’s paying off, we’re getting faster! It’s awesome to get the Kawasaki on the top of the podium and I’m looking forward to the Australian Championships.”
KRT Manager Dave Cullen says, “Congratulations to Shawn, he rode consistently to win the meet. It was great preparation for him and stands him in good stead for the upcoming season. Scott “Eddie” Charlton, after only half a day of testing on the new ZX-10R did really well to finish in 2nd place. We’ll continue testing this brand new ZX-10R Kawasaki to have it ready and at its best for the opening round of the Australian Superbike Championships at Eastern Creek in March. "
Watch for Scott Charlton, Shannon Johnson and Shaun Geronimi at the support races for the World Superbike Championships at Phillip Island on 1-2 March 2008.
