Gerard Kinghan was the “Man of the Meeting” today in
Bishopscourt as the Enkalon raised the curtain on the new Ulster Superbike
Championship.
He certainly earned it too taking both Superbike wins but, not
without Charles Stuart putting up a fight first. Kinghan was a flag to flag
winner in Race 1 but, in Race 2 Stuart got away clean and made a break before
Kinghan reeled him in, made a pass and pulled away slightly to take the title.
The meeting went ahead in bitter cold conditions, such cold
that warranted 2 warm up laps instead of 1 per race for the sake of safety.
Riders were well aware of the cold track temperature also, a factor that
allowed the afternoon to pass relatively incident free although lap times were
obviously affected.
Korie McGreevy and Jason Lynn diced in both Supersport races
with Korie being the victor of race 1 while race 2 had to be restarted. The
weather conditions also had a terrible effect on the attendance. While those
that did brave the elements were treated to a thoroughly entertaining fixture,
many left after the feature race. Races were run with the efficiency that
typifies Bishopscourt though.
