Hawk Colchester Kawasaki  riders Scott Smart and James Haydon equalled their best results for the team so far this year in race one at Donington Park, scoring a seventh and eighth place respectively in race one.

The pairing both were running comfortably in the top fifteen throughout the weekend with Smart qualifying in 12th place and Haydon just behind him in 13th. Both gained a good start and already gained positions by the end of the first lap. They were locked in a Kawasaki battle with Michael Rutter, with the Hawk riders eventually getting the better of the previous TT winner to bring the Hawk bikes home as the top Kawasaki runners.

The second race saw Smart leap through the field to eighth place after lap one and was hunting down the leading pack and was looking strong. However, on lap five he was forced to retire after a technical fault. Commenting he said "I felt pretty good all weekend, each time we keep making progress with the bikes. I was happy with the first race and I was able to set some good times throughout the race and the bike felt good. I knew in the second race there was a problem from the off, I didn't want to risk any major damage to myself or the bike so I parked her up on lap five. I'm hoping we'll be able to finish the year on a high note at Brands in a couple of weeks time."

Haydon said "Things were running well in race one I felt confident and happy with the bike set up that we'd found. I had a nightmare with a dodgy tyre in qualifying, which lost me some time, we weren't sure what the problem was until afterwards. I got two good starts in the race and was hoping for a top ten result in both. I was pleased with the first race results but I had a coming together with Hutchy at the Melbourne loop in the second race and that was the end of my day. I was disappointed for it to end like that but hopefully we'll be back up there at Brands."

Rookie Alex Camier took a stunning double win in the Metzeler Superstock Cup races on his debut appearance on the Kawasaki ZX10 Superstock machine. Camier who has ridden in the Superbike class and Supersport class for the Hawk Colchester Team took his first ride out on the bike on Friday's first practice session. Looking comfortable all weekend Camier took the teams' first pole position since 2004.

A delighted Camier said "The team decided to place me on the Superstock bike this weekend instead of the Supersport bike to replace the injured David Hallett. I'd not even sat on the bike until Thursday where we had to adjust it to suit me as I'm smaller than Dave. It felt pretty good from the word go and I was looking forward to trying to get the team some decent results. I was top of the sheets in both qualifying sessions and therefore gained pole position. I got a good start in the first race and led for the whole race but knew I couldn't afford to make a mistake as the chasing pack were right behind me. I got a little boxed in at Redgate in the second race and was pushed back to third, by the second lap I'd found my way through and once I'd found a good rhythm I just settled down and got my head down. It's good to be on the podium and thanks to all the team for working so hard all weekend."

The Hawk Colchester Kawasaki Team will be racing at Stars of Darley this Sunday 30th September before heading to the final British Superbike round at Brands Hatch on the 12th ­ 14th October.
