It's official
« on: 26 September 2011, 06:41:03 pm »
Found out yesterday at a non-championship grasstrack hillclimb that myself and pilot Roger are the 2011 VMCC lefthand grasstrack champions. We snatched the title by 18 points. GET IN THERE!

We also won the hillclimb yesterday on the 200 mtr track with a time of 13.48 seconds. Doesn't sound fast and you could do a quater mile in that time but remember this was on grass hill. with a badly rutted start line. We did however get beaten (for once) in the handicap race against a GSX600 trike... Only just.

So some sad news. Due to family commitments and lack of dosh I'm now retiring from motorsport knowing that I'm a champion on two wheels, four wheels and now on three wheels. One better than John Surtees smiley: laugh Though probably not in the same callibre.

There are two more events that I have to do this year before I finish and finaly hang my helmet up.
One. Attend a  Speedway Training Day at Sittingbourne speedway track on 16th October. Can't wait for this sounds awsome and not for the faint hearted
Two. Attend VMCC prize giving at end of November to collect our championship trophies.
 
 Job done smiley: pimp

Minimotos if I have enough time to prep the bike and return to race winning performance. I also need to repair and service a few thing. The fairing is smashed to smitherenes and the rear subframe is undergoing a rebuild and modifications to accomadate a new seat unit. New tyres needed, engine stip and re-build required, water pump belt needs replacing etc etc etc. Then a test and shake down session at Lydd International. Last outing and race on this was 1998. 13 years ago  :eek

The speedway training day is at Sittingbourne Speedway, Iwade, Nr. Sittingbourne, Kent. 16th Oct 2011

Your welcome to come and take some pics of me going sideways and NOT falling off. Starts at 10am for track walk and riders briefing with bacon rolls.
