The 2010 Australian Speedway Sidecar Championship which will be staged at the Newcastle Showground Speedway on the Easter weekend is to be sponsored by PBOZ Australia and Suzuki of Newcastle.
PBOZ Australia has been in the business of producing race wear for both men and women as well custom merchandise for companies for almost a decade and they will be producing a unique range of garments and memorabilia especially for the championship.
The company are also sponsors of the Pitbitch sidecar race team of Darren Café and passenger Don Morris, who have filed an entry for the championship.
The lead-up to the championship weekend invariably sees riders on the road travelling to meetings at a variety of tracks to test themselves against quality opposition.
With the solo scene going quiet from the end of January as a huge contingent of riders ready themselves to head off to the UK, sidecars take over the spotlight at most motorcycle speedway venues across the country.
Last weekend saw the New South Wales Sidecar Championship staged at Tamworth with several interstaters testing the best riders from Sydney, Newcastle and Broken Hill.
No matter who tests them in recent weeks, the result seems to be the same with Darrin Treloar winning the NSW title for the 13th time, the last six of them with Justin Plaisted as passenger.
Defending champions Rick Howse / Adam Commons of Broken Hill finished runners-up ahead of Darren Cafe / Don Morris and Queenslanders Jason Aldridge / Callum Campbell.
The result of the NSW Championship probably means that the Café / Morris combination will not get a seeded berth for the Australian Championship. Despite that Café was happy with their form. “It was a tough night. We scored 13 points in the heats but still had to win the B Final to get into the decider” said Café.
But surely that form will encourage them as they go into the Qualifying meeting. Café said “If we can repeat that form, being able to mix it with Treloar and Howse in particular, should give us a good shot at qualifying for the championship decider.
Riders have until next Friday, March 5, to enter for the Easter weekend showdown with the seeded riders and line-up for the Qualifying Meeting likely to be decided the following week.
