It’s been an interesting week this week, not a pleasant experience seeing your son being knocked off at Brands Hatch by another rider - I think the best description of my week is ‘mixed emotions’….
This year, I’ve managed to watch all of Wil’s races, at his first race...
Last weekend has been a mix of great fun and at times quite stressful.
During qualifying Wil told us he was having issues with the bike running very high on revs going into corners. We quickly found out that the throttle bodies were not performing as they should do. We...
The few days leading up to my first race weekend were strange, I didn’t feel very nervous and it seemed a lot further away than it actually was, but as the Friday started, we had an early morning drive to Brands Hatch and the nerves had definitely started to kick in no...
For weeks leading up to my first time out on track, my nerves were all over the place. I kept telling everyone that I thought I’d just be sick all weekend, because that was what I thought was going to happen.
As the time got closer and items on my check list were gettin...

Don't get me wrong, I have known this was going to happen since November 2015.
One of the most difficult things for any sports team is the raising of sufficient funds to compete at the level that they aspire to. This becomes especially true when the team receives no revenue from the events in which they compete.

At Silverstone I had a silly crash at over 100 MPH during Friday Practice which left us with a cracked alternator cover and a long lead time to get a new one.
So anyone who has Paul or Lindsey as a personal friend will have seen we have a set back today in building a number two bike. When fitting the rear shock Lindsey (with her scrutineer hat on) noticed a suspiciously placed sticker on the swing arm of the bike we bought l...
At the beginning of 2015 one of my Christian friends asked me what I would do once I stopped racing. My immediate reaction was I am not ever going to stop. However Luke had planted a seed.
I began to think about the question and I began to pray about it.
The Snetterton race weekend had an extra fizz about it for me because the CVM guys were coming along to do a bit of filming for their Crazyway initiat...
Uplifting Performances

The Monday after a race weekend is always a strange day for me.
If I have done well, I feel flat as I want to be out there to continue on
If I have done...

Ups and Downs to report this time from Cadwell Park.
Friday testing went pretty well and it was sunny and dry.
Saturday dawned misty which soon turned...
