After more than a week of consultation between Motorcycling Australia’s (MA) Road Race Commission, MA and International Entertainment Group (IEG) Pty Ltd, it has been decided to suspend Item 49 of the 2009 ASBK Supplementary Regulations relating to testing restrictions. The original intent of item 49 was to reduce costs for all competitors, both factory and privateer riders alike, and was not aimed at restricting competitors taking part in other events in any way. The issue of testing restrictions for 2010 will be discussed by the MA Road Race Commission with industry stakeholders and competitors during 2009. This change and further operational amendments will be posted on the MA and ASBK websites as they become available. Supplementary Regulations and entry forms for the 2009 Australian Superbike Championship are available on the MA website www.ma.org.au/2009asbksr. Round Entries will close Friday two weeks prior to the event with Series Entries closing Friday 6 February 2009. Completed entry forms should be sent to: Attn: Race Secretary C/ – 47 Kenway Drive Underwood QLD 4119 For more information on the 2009 ASBK go to: www.asbk.com.au.
