The Story So Far

HISTORY OF RACING: I FIRST STARTED RACING ON A QUADZILLA TYPE R MX

 

MY FIRST RACE WAS A GRASS TRACK MEETING AT MEIDRIM WITH MAXSPEED, WHERE I FINISHED 5th WHICH WAS BRILL AS THERE WERE 15 OTHER QUADS WHICH WERE MODIFIED. I FINISHED THE YEAR OFF DOING GRASS TRACK.

IN 2008 DAD AND ED DAVIES TALKED TO MUFF OF DREDGERS MX CLUB TO SEE IF HE WOULD ALLOW US TO COMPETE IN A 100cc CLASS, SO WE STARTED THE CLASS OFF. ME AND MY BEST RACING BUDDY DAFYDD DAVIES AND OTHERS COMPETED IN BOTH WELSH AND CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS WHERE I TOOK 1st IN THE CLUB AND RUNNER UP IN THE WELSH AND DAFYDD DAVIES DID THE OPPISITE. SO A GOOD YEAR SEEMING IT WAS MY FIRST YEAR OF MOTOCROSS.

THEN IN 2009 DAD AND ED TALKED AND DECIDED TO COMPETE IN THE NORA-MX CHAMPIONSHIP, I COMPETED IN THE 100cc STD CLASS AND FINISHED 1st AND DAFYDD DAVIES COMPETED IN THE 100cc MOD CLASS WHERE HE FINISHED 5th ALSO COMPETING IN HIS FIRST YEAR OF RACING WAS MY LITTLE BROTHER DAFYDD WHO DID BRILL AS HE FINISHED 3rd IN THE 50cc CLASS (WELL DONE DAFZ).

2010 SCHEDULE: NORA-MX CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE MOD CLASS, DREDGERS MX IN THE WELSH AND CLUB AND HOPEFULLY A FEW ENDURO's.

ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE AND GOOD LUCK FOR 2010
