From Motorcycling Australia: Applications are now invited from suitably qualified riders to become the recipient of the 2007 Kirk McCarthy Memorial Award.
The Kirk McCarthy Memorial Award was established by the family of the late Kirk McCarthy to assist young riders to compete in the Australian Superbike Championship.
Each year, one rider will receive the Award, in the form of financial and product support to contest the following year's Australian Superbike Championship. The award is open to riders in all ASC classes.
Applications are assessed on several different criteria, including the applicant's professional attitude, ability, presentation, dedication, and commitment. They will be assessed by a panel which includes representatives from the McCarthy Family, the motorcycle industry and Motorcycling Australia.
