THE R&G Racing Suzuki GSX-R600 Trophy has just got even better, not only does it allow you to race for under £9,000 but there is now a superb £12,000 prize fund up for grabs – racing has never been so cheap.

All of the £12,000 will go straight back into the rider’s pockets as they can pick it up in prize money throughout the season. Each race weekend will see the winner going home with £200, second place man £100, third will receive £50, fourth £30 and £20 for fifth place.

The popular Express Insurance Top Gun award in back again this year and it will give £100 to the first Orange Jacket wearing Novice licence holder to finish. This is a great incentive for new riders to push hard and progress in each race.

At the end of the season the R&G Racing Suzuki GSX-R Trophy winner will pick up a cool £3000 for his efforts all year, £2000 will go to second place and £1000 for third. The highest placed Novice licence holder in the Championship will also receive the Express Insurance Top Gun end of season award of £500.

The 10-round Championship has full Suzuki backing and takes in numerous British Superbike circuits which gives riders track knowledge for when they decide to step up to the next level as many Trophy riders have done.

The bottle bore the label of Domaine Ste. Michelle, a French-sounding brand imported all the way from Washington state, and the 24-year-old pitcher had been branded the Series’ Most Valuable Player.

“This will be a trivia question for the next couple hundred years,” Hamels said, happily. “And I get to be a part of it.”

Trophy News from Michigan

A wheelchair-bound Michigan teen got a special gift from one of his heroes over the weekend. Pat and Teresa Byrnes took their son Cody to the Michigan International Speedway so he could see his favorite driver, Carl Edwards, race. “Carl happened to be walking by and we gave him a thumbs up and Cody gave him a thumbs up and he saw his flag waiving on the back of Cody’s chair. And so he stopped, turned around and came back and he came over and he signed his wheelchair and he signed his shirt,” said Teresa Byrnes.

The Byrnes were already excited that Cody got to meet his hero, but they weren’t prepared for what Carl Edwards told Cody next. “He looked at him and he said, ‘Hey buddy, I’ll tell you, if I win that trophy today, now that’s if I win, I’ll give you that trophy‘,” Teresa recalled.
