After winning Kawasaki the Manufactures Trophy at the NSW Quad Challenge at Barleigh ranch, NSW on 28 June, the Hardiman Kawasaki ATV Race Team are on track to finish well lat the 2009 ATV Nationals at Murray Bridge, SA this weekend 19-20 September.
With veteran rider Todd O'Leary fresh home from a testing and training trip to the USA and Pro rider Paul Worth proving fast on the team's practice track during the week, the Hardiman ATV Kawasaki Race Team are confident of doing well this weekend.
Pro rider Worth says "I'm definitely looking forward to this weekend. Our preparation has been really good and I'm more than confidant that with a bit of luck I can finish on the top step of the podium"
This weekend will see the debut of Veteran Class rider O'Leary's brand new Kawasaki KFX450R race ATV. Todd is confidant of the green machine doing well saying "I can't wait to race the new machine this weekend."
I've built it specially for this weekend and although it hasn't been raced yet testing at the practice track has been very successful with the KFX making bucket loads of power. The preparation for the team leading up to the event has been really good. I was lucky enough to spend time testing and practicing with the Monster Energy ATV Race Team in the USA over the last couple of weeks and I've taken a lot from there that will hopefully serve me well this weekend"
Now that testing, practice and preparation has been completed, there's nothing left for the Hardiman ATV Kawasaki Race Team to do but get out there, race hard and finish well at the 2009 ATV Nationals.
