Bet on Belfast
By TMX Archives on 23rd Nov 06
ULSTER favourite, Gordon Crockard has secured a one-off ride for this weekend's Belfast Supercross at the Odyssey Arena in the Northern Ireland's capital, riding under the Eastwood Bookmakers banner on a 250cc two-stroke Honda.
Gordon has gone with the company, which is one of the leading companies in Northern Ireland, to help give it some local exposure.
Although it doesn't really need it as it carries significant weight as massive boxing promoters. The company used to promote one of Ireland's most famous fighters Barry McGuigan in his bid to become World Featherweight Champion.
The deal for Gordon is only for the Belfast SX, where he won in 2000 and 2003, and where he will also have support from Honda, Red Bull and Bridgestone, and will ride a 250cc stroker.
Signed to the PAR Honda squad to ride GPs and British championships next season, the Crockstar is helping the Eastwood firm get a little exposure in the off-road sport and the one-of-a-kind kit he will wear will be auctioned off come the end of the event to raise funds for charity.
