Donington race three
24 Oct 2010
Well, I won. It was flag to flag from pole with the fastest lap (a lap record) and by ten seconds. In F1 that’s called a grand slam. I call it a lot of fun. Although I wasn’t dicing with anyone it was such a pleasure to ride this bike on this track. By the […]
Donington race four
The last race of the year took place in glorious sunshine at the best track in Britain and I won by 12 seconds with a new lap record of 1m13.8s, completing my third clean sweep in a row. I had time for another fat wheelie too. There is no better way to end the season. […]
Donington race one
23 Oct 2010
1st place! It was really wet so I didn’t want to lead or try too hard before my tyres warmed up. I got a good start but let Keith Smith and Mark Andrew through at the first corner. Smithy then crashed at the Old Hairpin and Mark opened a few seconds lead while I got […]
Donington race two
I won race two by a small margin from Andy Denyer, after he’d led the first half of the race. I took my time again, making sure my tyres were warm, and then worked my way up to him. Once I took the lead Denyer stuck with me so I had to push hard to […]
Donington Park qualifying
22 Oct 2010
Despite missing practice and getting very little sleep all week (thanks, dear employer) I put the S&B GSX-R750 Streetfighter on pole position by half a second. To be honest, I didn’t think I was going especially well and I was really short of grip, so I think there’s more to come.
Donington Park preview

The season finale is here and, with the championship already locked down, the aim is simply to have fun. Of course, that means riding to win, just like on any other weekend.
Mallory race three
10 Oct 2010
Another good win, by 13 seconds this time, though I was a bit gutted to miss the lap record by a few hundredths of a second. Amazingly Chris Matthews nabbed second place on the last lap having started on the back of the grid. Very well done to him. The last race is in two […]
Mallory race four
Race weekends don’t get much better than this. I won the last race by 11 seconds, setting a new lap record of 55.0s along the way. That completes the set of all four race wins, all four fastest laps, pole position, the lap record and the championship. I was never headed for even an inch […]

Mallory Park qualifying
09 Oct 2010
I’m on pole for the weekend, ahead of Andrew Plaskitt and Mark Andrew who are both going well. Keith Smith isn’t here as he’s sick, so get well soon Smiffy. More surprisingly Chris Matthews is also absent today. I spoke to him yesterday and he told me that the championship was practically out of reach […]
Mallory race one
I led the race from flag to flag to win by eight seconds from Andrew Plaskitt and Mark Andrew third. That means I need only one point in the next race to seal the championship. Of course, I’d still like to get as many wins as possible for the year… Wish me luck Wilko
Streetfighter A champion!
I won the race and with it the championship. I’m absolutely buzzing and it’s great to have a load of friends here to enjoy it with.

Mallory Park preview
07 Oct 2010
This is a big, important weekend. At Mallory Park I have a good chance to secure the championship title. Right now I have a lead of 124 points and so long as I have at least 100 of them left on Sunday afternoon then I’ll have done it. That takes some of the pressure off […]
