Dubai: The 2007/2008 UAE National Championships featuring DAMC Open Saloons, Gulf Radical Cup and the combined Superstock/Stockbike classes will be remembered as season of drama and spectacular on track action.

Racing was of a high calibre while fields were always at an acceptable level. Two champions were crowned on the last day of the season with Al Yousuf Yamaha rider Rod Scott taking the Superstock Championship and Fahad Al Musalam claiming the Gulf Radical Cup title for the Bahrain 777 Victory team after a season long battle with Bassam Kronfli.
