Luke Burkhart dominates the Suzuki NZ GP

Posted: Sat 30 Jan 1999

Masterton rider Luke Burkhart impressively won all 5 of his 12-14 125cc class races on his YZ125.
The only other rider to equal this was Tim Curr of Blenheim in the 11-12 85cc class on his Yamaha YZ80.
Manawatu\'s best hope, James Robinson, was looking good before being hit during the final lap of the 4th moto. Although he finished both the 4th and 5th rounds this effectively killed his chances of winning the 15-16 years 125cc title despite good finishes in the previous races.
The racing was held in superb conditions with record junior and mini entries. The track was groomed again this evening in preperation for tomorrows International Grand Prix.
