Ireland's Superbike Championship was rescued last night when the Motorcycle Union of Ireland's Ulster Centre stepped in and added a round at Kirkistown to replace the dropped Mondello Park dates.

In the last few weeks, the May 1 slot has become available and steps where quickly put in place to hire a suitable venue for an event. At the meeting yesterday everything was agreed to include May 1 for a round of Irish Superbike Championship at Kirkistown Race Circuit.

It has also been confirmed that on May 8 the Centre will also run an additional Irish Clubman's Championship event at Kirkistown Circuit.

Both of these events will be promoted under Ulster Centre Sports Promotions and it is hoped that with these extra dates and ongoing talks with Mondello Park and Motorcycling Ireland hopefully a 22 round championship can still be run in 2010.
