Hawk Kawasaki gained some strong results at the Race of the Year at Mallory Park on Sunday, 15th October with riders Peter Hickman and Ian Hutchinson. In the autumn conditions the two riders were eager to finish the year on a high note. After qualifying in fifth and sixth position, Hickman gained fourth place in the race and Hutchinson sixth.

Factory teams such as Suzuki and Honda were present at the race with Suzuki fielding World Superbike star Chris Walker who took the eventual race win. Hickman was keen to try and gain a podium position in the 20-lap race and once past TT legend John McGuinness he was unable to catch third placed man Billy McConnell.

Youngster Peter Hickman commented ''We''ve had a couple of good weekends and things have gone well. It''s been a strong finish to the year for me and I''d like to thank everyone involved for all their help and support over the season. I''m already eager to get going for 2007 now and can''t wait to be back out on track. I''ll make the most of the time off preparing for next season and hope that it will be a good one.''

Team Owner Stuart Hicken said ''It''s been a good couple of weeks and thankfully all the bikes are still in one piece in preparation for the bike show. It''s been a busy season for us with the Superbike races and the Road Races but we''ve had some positive results with the new Kawasaki ZX10 and hope that 2007 can be a positive one for us.''
