2006.05.15 NDM Aprilia 125 Challenge Cup
NDM Aprilia 125 Challenge Cup NDM, supported by Tekmos Communications, have just announced a £2,000 sterling sponsorship package (per year) for the Irish Clubmans Aprilia 125cc Class. NDM is a Dublin based company, well known for its race preparation and tuning shop. The company is also a distributor for Öhlins and Bridgestone tyres. Stephen Harnett, the owner of NDM, has worked for UK tuning house TTS Engineering for a period of three years and worked for Crescent Suzuki prior to that. Stephen specialises in four stroke preparation but recognises the importance of this class for up and coming new talent. The class is the breeding ground for quality riders, riders such as Jack Kennedy, Scott Kelly, Karl Connolly, Jamie Hamilton, Marty Lennon, Edward Haddock, Luke Morrissey, James Maguire, Cody Nally and many others. Stephen said "We must provide support for the Aprilias as the 125cc class is a perfect class for either beginners or others who have already experienced Mini Motos or Junior Motocross but wish to try their hand at short circuit racing. Ireland has always had a deep seated pool of talent and we hope that by supporting the Aprilia riders, at an early stage, that this will help them progress their interest in the sport". NDM plans to support this novice class for the next three years and the breakdown of the package is as follows: 1. There will be trophies for the first three places and plaques for the next seven positions through to tenth place in the Championship. 2. There will be framed photographs for the first three finishers in the Championship. 3. There will be Cash prizes totalling £1,500 Sterling and split as follows, - £500 for the championship winner - £300 for second place - £200 for third place - £150 for 4th place - £100 for 5th place - £75 each for positions 6th through to 10th In addition there will be FREE race training for three selected riders who have shown the greatest work effort, attitude, presentation and improvement throughout the first half of the season. These may or may not be amongst the top ten championship position holders at that time. Former British 250cc champion, Woolsey Coulter has agreed to provide training for these riders at one of his WCCR events at Kirkistown race circuit during the Summer months. NDM will pay Woolsey Coulter's fee. Stephen hopes that this package will encourage the younger riders and also encourage other companies to step forward and support the Irish Short Circuit Championships. |
