Hi all

On the 31st July I was racing at Ipswich; I had 3 rides and I got three third places.
 

The track before the meeting was pretty patchy but after the main meeting the track was very slick. The weather was looking a bit overcast and I was hoping that it did not rain and it didn’t, on the way home it did though.
 

I would like to say get well soon to Oliver Rayson after lifting and hitting the fence, hope you get well soon mate.

 

Thanks,  see you soon

Hi all

Sorry I have not been keeping you up to date but I have been really busy riding. On the 23rd July I was at Birmingham riding for the Coventry Academy team; I was up against Jack Roberts, Lewis Dallaway, Jay Herne and Adam Lowe I found it good experience going out with riders like these and learnt a lot from it although I finished last in all my races.

 

On the 25th July I was riding at Coventry against Dan Greenwood and James Sarjeant which I came last in all my races but I was not that far behind them. I found it a good experience to race people that I can chase down and try to beat like these did, it was a great experience and would love to do it again. I am next out at a STR meeting on Sunday at King’s Lynn.

 

Thanks all.

Hi all

On the 5th July I was racing 2nd halves with Jake Knight and Joe Jacobs .

We had 3 races in which I finished 2nd in all of them but each time I went out I was improving really good and I was getting faster and faster. The track was very slick but it was a good race track Thanks to Rye House promotion for letting do 2nd halves.

Hi all

On the 28th June I was racing at Cardiff before the Grand Prix itself in a 250cc demonstration race which was very close. I just managed to get under Nathan Stoneman on the last bend on the last lap and I would like to thank everyone for their help and support. Also thanks to Peter Oakes and the BSI for giving us this opportunity.

 

On The 30th June I was racing at King’s Lynn against Jack Butler we only managed to get one race which was better than none at all and I won that race. Thanks To Dunni and the Boston promotion.

 

On The 31st June I was racing at Lakeside before the Sky meeting. I had three races and got two seconds and a third. My 250cc has decided to die on me so it has gone for a service but thanks to the Lakeside promotion for letting this happen.

 

Cheers all.

Rhys will no doubt do his own press release when he gets chance but I would like to congratulate him on a fantastic ride at Cardiff yesterday in the build up to the British Grand Prix.

Rhys came out in the second race and although his bike didn't get off the start very well he chased the other three riders, he never gave up and got what he deserved which was the win he took on the finish line. Well done mate.

The action from the three junior races can be seen here (Rhys is in heat 2):

Thanks to everyone who helped yesterday including Jack Butler.

Hi all

On Thursday the 19th June I was racing at Peterborough in a 250cc meeting, it was very good and the track was very slick.

In my races I had a 1st, 1st, 3rd , 1st which I was pleased with but I was not pleased about the 3rd because I made a mistake I will never make again.

I would like to thank Laurence Rogers and Trevor Swales for putting this meeting on, it was great fun.

 

On Friday 20th June I was racing at Lakeside, I had 2 rides because of the weather and came 2nd in both of them. I would like to thank the Lakeside management and Gerald Ritcher for letting the juniors go on.

 

On the 21st June I will be racing on my 500 at Rye House, I will update you the results as soon as I can.

 

Thanks all, see you soon.

Hi all
Friday 30.05.08
I was at Lakeside; I was meant to be on my 250cc for a couple of first half rides and when I arrived  and got my bike set up to take part I was asked to ride in the Academy League as they were short. Although I said yes I was unsure of riding my 500cc as I have not had much practise, so I got 3 rides on my 500cc I finished last in all my rides but knew I could have done a lot better than I did. Whether it was nerves or not I do not know but in finishing last and not gating - I need to address maybe I built myself up too much to ride the 250. But I would like to thank everybody concerned; Paul Hurry for giving me a chance and Fred Parkin for his support and to my pit crew on the night of Mum, Thomas, Stevie and Dad Thanks for all the hard work.

Saturday 31.05.08
Very different day went to Rye House on my 500cc I was going to get one ride ended up with two, this time just laps with a rolling start but I did go off the starting line felt comfortable and steady in my first ride and in the second ride I sped up a bit more I would like to thank the Rye House Staff for the opportunity.

Sunday 1.06.08
Back on the 250cc for second half racing at Mildenhall. I had three rides and three wins but there were three other riders with me and we all upped our riding. My Mum filmed us, I have watched it a couple of times now and there was a lot of improvement for Connor, Tom and Adam. After watching the film it was good, my experience won the day for me with Adam a close second, Tom and Connor 3rd and 4th who have not been riding as long as me and Adam. Adam gave me ride to remember in the last heat, he gated and I went to the back on the first turn. Adam got in front and took the line, it was a great move by Adam as I had to lock up, then I had to reel in Tom and Connor back to secure the win but Adam knew where I was all the time so I had to go on the outside of Adam to get past but managed it. Again thanks to everyone that made it possible including the Mildenhall staff.

Hi all

On Saturday the 25th May I was racing At Scunthorpe Against Conor Dwyer, Tom Stokes, Joe Newey And Adam Portwood. There was some excellent racing all day with lovely weather but it was very dusty.

There was a race of the day when Conor Dwyer was leading me and Adam Portwood,  Conor was leading me and Adam by a corner which was really good for Conor and I just about got past Adam and then I was chasing down Conor and just got him going over the line.

 

On Sunday me and Tom Stokes were training on our 500cc to get our confidence up and we were slowly but surely improving each time we went out which was really good because we were both pretty nervous before we went out but we ended up starting the day really good and ended up finishing even better .

 

Monday I was meant to be racing at Coventry but it was called off!

 

Keep up the good riding Conor. I would like to thank everyone for their help over the weekend, it was great.

 

Thanks

Hi all

On the 12th May I was racing second half at Coventry; I got 3 races in which I won two and came a close 2nd in my last one. It was a great night with some really good racing.

The track looked grippy at the beginning of the meeting for the Elite league riders but then it was very slick afterwards but we all managed to get around safely.

I would like to thank the promotion of Coventry for giving me the chance to ride. Thanks all.

Hi all

On the 5th  May I was riding at Wolverhampton in a second half 250cc meeting and it as real great fun. It was good because Laurence Rogers is our helper and he was encouraging us and was advising us how to ride the track; we all sat down together at the beginning of the meeting and watched some excellent races and some really good passes. I really enjoyed it because it was another track experience and was a really good race track.

I would like to thank everyone who helped organise more track time for the 250cc riders, it is a great pleasure and a massive thank you to Mr Laurence Rogers.

 

Cheers All

Hi all

On Sunday Boston's match was unfortunately cancelled and I went to Mildenhall for a couple races. In my first ride I had clutch problems as I had not adjusted it right although I got to the first bend so did the other 3; I was off gate 4 and we all pretty much went round the first bend together and I finished third in my second race. I had put my clutch right and got a flyer whilst I got to the first corner so did one of the other riders; unfortunately we connected and I came off. I would like to point out that there is no blame to anyone, it was first bend bunching and I came off worst. All the best.

Hi all

On Wednesday 9th April I was racing at Boston; it was a great pleasure. I was doing second half’s after the meeting with Matty Allitt  and we got to the tapes, then they went up and so did poor Matty Allitt so we did not get to race anymore.

 

On the 12th April I was at Rye House doing some second half's on my own and got a couple of rides that  I very much enjoyed and would like to thank the promotion at Rye House for letting me race, I really enjoyed it and I was riding pretty good which was the best thing.

 

Thanks everyone, all the best.

Hi all

On the 6th April I was riding with the STR at King’s Lynn, we all had a good day and the track was very tricky and patchy to start off with but we all coped well.
 

I had a 3,3,3,3 and finished second in the final. I was really happy when I got all my firsts then got disappointed with the second place in the final when I lost to Tom Stokes.


I would like to say well done to all the 250cc and 500cc riders on the day because they all rode sensibly and there were not too many accidents.


Also thanks to The Southern Track Riders Association for letting us ride again.

Thanks.

Hi all

On the 1st April I was riding on my 500cc at King's Lynn at Boston’s Press and Practise day; I had a very enjoyable day and got to meet up with the Boston team.

I had quite a few rides and then I went out in my last one and pulled in because my arms were aching but apart from that everyone said that I did really well and I am pretty pleased with the way I rode. I would like to thank Andy Taylor and Jon White for their help setting up the carb and everyone else who helped me on the day

 

Thanks.

Hi All

On the 30th March 2008 I was riding at Mildenhall having second half races; I had two races and finished 3rd and 1st . I was a bit disappointed in my first one because I did not make the gate and the same happened in my second race so I had to do it all from the back and it was very hard work.

 

Thank you everyone for your help support and effort, all the best.

25.3.08

Hi All

On the 21st March I was riding at Ipswich against Brendan Warvill and Adam Portwood; we only had 1 race due to bad weather but I knew from the beginning that I was going to be lucky to get a ride because the sky was grey and I knew it was going to rain or snow.
 

The result was me, Adam Portwood and Brendan Warvill. In the evening I was meant to be racing at Lakeside but it was called off for the juniors.

On the 23rd I was meant to be at Scunthorpe and that was also called off.


On the 24th I was racing at Coventry against Tom Stokes, Connor Dwyer and Adam Portwood; we had 2 races and in the second one it was awarded because Connor hit the fence.

The Results were me, Tom Stokes, Adam Portwood then Connor Dwyer in both races.

 

Get Well Soon Connor and thanks to Stevie for  coming all the way to Coventry. Thanks to everyone who has helped me at the start of this season, its been excellent working with you.

All The Best

Hi all

On Friday 14th March I was riding at Lakeside (Arena-Essex) and had three rides; in the rides I think I was improving bit by bit each time but still have a little coasting and must get rid of it but that’s down to me. Only I can do that but I was getting quicker and quicker in my three rides.

 

All The Best

Hi all

On the 7th March I was riding at Lakeside practising with the team and some others; it was a good day but I was very slow and I am going to put right what’s wrong.

On 8th March I rode at Scunthorpe and had a better day than I did at Lakeside. I had a 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,2 which was really good for me because I have never scored that many points at Scunthorpe before and the times I did were really fast. The track was in a lovely condition and it was a nice day.

At Scunthorpe it was me, Tom Stokes and Adam Portwood and we were all having very close races and made some excellent passes.

All The Best

Hi all

On the 2nd March 2008 I rode at King’s Lynn in a couple of 250cc races in the Southern Track Riders Association and had a really enjoyable day with a 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd.

This gave me first place overall I had a very good day and would like to thank Southern Track for letting us join and thanks for everyone's help.

 

All The Best

Hi all

Today I rode at Sittingbourne with training from Leigh Lanham; I had a very good day but started off a bit slow although I was flying by the end of the day. I really enjoyed myself and had a great day with Leigh and I would like to thank Leigh and everyone for their help.

19.2.08
Hi all
I rode at Scunthorpe on the 16th February; it was a pretty cold day with some good racing and I finished 3rd overall but drew for 2nd with Tom Stokes (he won on count back).
I had a 2,2,2,2,2,1,1,2 and I think I could have done a bit better.
Adam Portwood finished the day in his last race and won that and it was a close race.
All The Best.

10.2.08
Hi all
On February 10th I was riding in a Southern Track Riders practise day and had a very enjoyable day and was improving each time I went out.

The track was in very good condition and was getting very slick towards the end of the day, I was on my 500 and it was probably the fastest I have been on it and it was easier to ride when I was going faster. 

I will next be appearing at Scunthorpe on the 16th February in a 250cc challenge and am hoping to come away with an excellent result.

I would like to thank all the people for their help and advice.

2.2.08
Hi all
On the 2nd February I was riding at king's Lynn alongside Adam Portwood, Matthew Allitt and most of the Boston team. I had a very enjoyable day and was improving each time I went out. It was a nice day and the track was really good, on my first couple of outings I was on my 250cc, then I went on my 500cc and was looking comfortable and confident as people said to me as I came in.

Matthew Allitt was improving as the day went on and did well for his first time back on his bike. Adam Portwood had a good day as well and is improving each time he gets on his bike.

I would like to thank everyone for their help and their support, it was a very enjoyable day with a good track to practise on and it was a good to speak to some of the Boston riders.

28.1.08
Hi all
On the 26th January I rode in my first ever 500cc competition at Scunthorpe. There were 8 youth 500cc riders and I finished 5th, my aim was to get ten points but only achieved 7 but I'm happy with that because it was only my first time in a meeting and I scored really well. I had 3rd, 3rd, n/s, 1st, 2nd, n/s which I thought was really good for my first time and hopefully next time I will reach my target. I would like to thank everyone there for their help and support.

22.1.08
Hi all

On the 14th January I rode at King's Lynn STR and was a very enjoyable day alongside Adam Portwood who was flying, probably the best I have seen him ride and I was also doing the best I have probably been as well. I would like to thank everyone for their help over the two sessions, I had a lovely time and a special thank you to Cookie, Wayne Dunworth and Dale Allitt.

On the 20th of January I was riding at Sittingbourne and it was good but I was struggling to ride so we made a change with the bike and went out and snapped a chain which was not good but it was a good day with good training. Again, thanks to everyone for their help and support.

Hi All

Sorry I have not spoke to you for a long time but my internet has been down.

On the 30th December I rode at Sittingbourne on my 500, I was really confident towards the end of the day and started attacking the 3rd/4th bend but I was not too confident on the 1st/2nd bend. Stevie had me doing starts from the finish line to the first bend every time I went out but when it came to doing four laps I found it difficult going into the 1st/2nd bend but was really good going into the 3rd/4th bend. In my last go I went into the 3rd bend and came off but I'm fine now. For the people who don't know Stevie, he is my tutor and has been really helpful to me. Cheers Stevie.

On the 6th I was on my 500 and my 250. On my first outing on my 500 I was really good; I was attacking both bends and my dad and Stevie were very pleased with me. I maintained that standard throughout the day. When it came to me on my 250 it was really good and going really fast; in my last go I was going from the start to the 1st bend but I did not make it because I flipped it and hurt my back. It was my fault because I did not have enough revs at the start and when it lifted I shut off and opened it up again but I did not realise that until I watched the video when I came home.

I would also like  to thank Mark and Aaron Baseby for all their help last season. Thanks for everyone's help and support

Happy New Year, see you soon
