Local Man Frank Competes In Superbike Championship!
We got this amazing picture of Local Killarney man Frank Doherty competing in the Dunlop Masters Superbike championship. and we just had to share it!
This his third year racing motorbikes having competed in the 600cc class initially and moving up to the hugely powerful 1000cc Superbike class.
These 1000cc machines are a handful to say the least producing in excess of 200 brake horsepower. Towards the end of last year frank acquired the latest model Yamaha R1 from the UK built by Seton tuning who specialise in Yamaha's.
After a disastrous first round seeing Frank get struck from behind by another competitor in the first race putting an end to that weekend he bounced back strongly in the next two rounds taking 2 first positions a second place and a third position along with 2 5th places, Frank is now sitting second in the championship 12 points behind the leader with 4 rounds to go.
Frank is sponsored by Tricel, where he works in the maintenance department, he would like to thank his other sponsors who without them the season would not be possible, O’Neill’s power equipment, Flesk carpentry and concrete cutting, JPS car sales and Moose design.
