Still
no sponsor & slow progress on the winter refresh |
With
no major sponsor for the 2009 season, it seems we will
not be able to compete.
Work has progressed very slowly on refreshing the R6 to enable it become a very
trick trackday bike, with the intention being to at least do a few trackdays
over the course of the coming summer. The body work has been repaired and is
now at the painters and the rear subframe swapped for a straight one. The engine
is still to be done (when it warms up a bit!)
Alan will be testing on the 14th, 21st and 22nd of February before the first
round at Brands Hatch in March, but due to a shortage of IT contracts currently,
it is uncertain with he can compete for the full season. |

Next
year? |
For
me to compete next year or in 2010 I will need to get a
lot more financial help to replace the R6 for a later race
bike. The Yamaha will be 10 years old next year and although
fast for the year once refreshed, it has struggled to compete
with the newer machines on the grid this season. I am hopeful
that a package can be put together but if not I may compete
in the odd round and will be at most rounds supporting
Alan.
If you can or know anybody that would be interested in supporting a race team
then please contact me, thanks...more> |

Hatch, the final bemsee meeting of 2008... |
At
this meeting I will be taking on my new role for next year
as team manager for Alan Lau, curry fishball racing. This
round isn't an official 600 supersport one but Alan will
be competing in the powerbikes class against the big 1000's
and in the Champion of Brands race. Next year should be
interesting with Alan now getting to grips with his 2008
Yamaha R6, now running a strong mid-pack position and with
the use of datalogging equipment to analyse his performance
and hard work, he should improve further.

Oulton
Park - exciting, damp and a visit to Chester hospital |
I
had never been to Oulton before, only to spectate, so when
Alan suggested an end of season trackday I was up for it.
Unfortunately we could only manage 6 dry laps all day but
we had a good day, with no pressure, finding our way around
the Cheshire circuit.
It was a shame it ended with Alan highsiding his R6 at Druids
and having to go to Chester hospital with a broken collar
bone. At least it was the end of the season and he has all
winter to recover!

Hatch - 19th June 2008, time to test |
| It
had been weeks, months even, since I had last been out on
the race bike which was at of course Cadwell Park. I had booked
this trackday in advance with Focused Events, not a favourite
company of mine but this day was an open pit lane day which
meant more track time and less novices...more> |

is underway on repairing the R6 after crashing out of the
first race of the Sunday race day at Snetterton. Although
repaired sufficiently in the pits to race the 2nd of the
