SEPTEMBER 2013 PRO INSTALLER
STRONG WEEKEND
AT DONINGTON FOR
‘WALKER THE STALKER’
The Dickies sponsored BSB rider, Chris
Walker, enjoyed an excellent day’s racing at
Donington Park on Sunday 8th September
securing two top 10 finishes at round 9 of the
2013 MCE British Superbike Championship.
With bad weather on
Friday, the team didn’t
take to the track until
Saturday but qualifying again went well for
Chris and he lined up in
a solid seventh place
on the grid for the
opening 20-lap race, a
strong start seeing him
immediately jump up
the order into sixth.
Here he remained until lap
five when pushed back to
seventh and this was where
he finished, successfully
seeing off a strong challenge immediately behind
him. The second race saw
Chris battling with the same
riders and he made it four
top ten finishes in a row
with a fine eighth place.
The weekend’s results
mean that Chris unfortunately misses out on one of
the top six Showdown spots
but, lying in ninth overall,
he will now focus his efforts
on the Riders Cup of which
he has a great chance of
securing.
Maurice Morton of Dickies,
one of Chris Walker’s sponsors said: “It was a solid
result for Chris who was
consistent all weekend.”
The tenth round has the
series crossing the Channel to visit Assen, Holland
on September 21st-22nd.
This was a venue for one
of Chris’ most well known
victories in the past.
