The Story So Far

 

      HISTORY OF RACING: FIRST STARTED RACING IN 2008 ON A BUZZ 50cc MY DAD BOUGHT ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY, I COMPETED IN A GRASSTRACK EVENT RUN BY MAXSPEED AND FINISHED 3rd WHICH I WAS PLEASED WITH BEING MY FIRST RACE AND THAT. I FINISHED THE SEASON OFF DOING DIFFERENT CLUBS AND TRACKS AND WAS A GOOD WAY OF GETTING INTO THE SPORT.

AFTER WATCHING MY BROTHER RHYS AND HIS FRIENDS DO MX I ASKED DAD IF I COULD DO MX, BUT HE KEPT ON SAYING I WAS TO YOUNG TO DO IT AS I WAS ONLY 6. THEN DAD HEARD THAT NORA-MX WAS HAVING A 50cc CLASS, SO HE SET TO WORK TRYING TO CONVINCE MAM TO LET ME COMPETE. AFTER A WHILE MAM AGREED AND DAD BOUGHT ME A APACHE 50cc AND WE WERE READY FOR THE 2009 SEASON.

IT WAS BRILL BECAUSE I RACED ON THE SAME TRACKS AS MY BIG BROTHER AND LOADS OF PEOPLE WERE WATCHING ME AND OTHERS IN MY CLASS, CHEERING AND SUPPORTING US AS WE WENT ALONG, I MET LOADS OF FRIENDS MY AGE FROM ALL OVER BRITAIN. MY FIRST RACE WAS AT WROXTON AND WHAT A TRACK, IT HAD UPS AND DOWNS AND LONG STRAIGHTS BIG DIFFERENCE TO GOING AROUND A FLAT OVAL TRACK. I FINISHED 2nd WHICH WAS BRILLIANT AS I WOULD NEVER OF EXPECTED THAT ON MY FIRST RACE MEETING. THE YEAR WENT FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH AND ALL MY FRIENDS AND ME GOT FASTER AND MORE EXPERIENCED AND THE COMPETITION GOT TOUGHER. I MANAGED TO FINISH THE CHAMPIONSHIP 3rd OVERALL WHICH I WAS HAPPY WITH BEING MY FIRST YEAR DOING MX. I ALSO DID A FEW LOCAL MEETINGS WITH DREDGERS MX OUT WITH THE 100cc CLASS, MY BROTHER WAS BRILL AS HE WAS IN THE SAME RACES AS ME HE WENT ROUND WITH ME IN PRACTICE AND SHOWED ME A FEW THINGS AND LINES TO TAKE. THANKS RHYS BUT I WILL BEAT YOU ONE OF THESE DAYS, HA HA

IT WAS BRILLIANT DOING NORA-MX AS WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HOST A ROUND OF THE BRITISH QUAD CHAMPIONSHIP,AND I SHOUTED AND SUPPORTED  MY HERO PAUL WINROW #1 WHO WAS BRILLIANT AS HE GAVE ME STICKERS AND POSTERS OF HIMSELF, AND FOR CHRISTMAS SENT ME A SIGNED TOP (THANKS PAUL) AND WELL DONE FOR WINNING YOUR 10th TITLE.

2010 SCHEDULE: NORA-MX CHAMPIONSHIP, DREDGERS MX CLUB AND WELSH.

 

THANKS TO NORA-MX DREDGERS MX FOR 2009 AND GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE FOR THE 2010 SEASON .
