Superbike action this weekend

The third event of the 2010 Mondello Superbike Championship moves the new series on to the County Kildare circuit's International track layout for the first time, writes Fergus Brennan, with two days of action this coming weekend (August 7/8).

The Leinster Motor Club run event will feature rounds six, seven and eight of the new series with the races having double the importance as they will also count towards the ISB championship for the first time. Sunday's Grand Final will be for the Leinster 200 Trophy and the winner will also ride away with the top prize of €1,500.

All of the classes will race three times over the weekend with qualifying and the first race taking place on Saturday. Sunday's programme will see the remaining two races per class run off, with the third race for Superbikes and Supersport and the Grand Final as the features. The headline acts will race between 14:00 and 16:00 with pre race grid interviews and podium presentations as part of the show.

Alongside the Superbikes and Supersport the remaining races will be made up of a combined grid of 125cc and 250cc two-strokes, Sidecars, Lightweight Supersport, the combined Pre '97 and Supertwin machines and the 'B' races for Superbike and Supersport Cup riders. Admission for each day is €15.00 but information on ticket discounts can be found on www.mondellopark.ie/specials.
