Donington race two
23 Oct 2010
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
20 Oct 2010
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 […]
ThundersportGB at Anglesey
18 Sep 2010
This weekend the series is at Anglesey in north-west Wales though without the wide bar entertainment of the Streetfighter class. It’s our turn to skip a round which is a shame as it’s a fantastic circuit in an amazing location. My friend Sam is racing on his CB500 and he’s flying again. He’s on pole […]
Action from Brands on TV
15 Sep 2010
The ThundersportGB TV show will air tomorrow, Thursday 16 September at 9pm. There was great racing in almost every class at Brands Hatch so watch the whole show if you can. Both of my races in the Streetfighter class were exciting and also look out for the incredibly close racing in the Thundersport500s and the […]

I’ve uploaded the TV coverage of the Cadwell Park rounds to YouTube.
Brands race 3
30 Aug 2010
Another clear win for me, though this was a two-part race owing to a messy crash involving my team-mate, Nigel Davis. Although it looked bad, I’m glad to report that he’s fine and the bike isn’t too bad. Chris Matthews was second in my class and Mark Andrew third. Barry Utting won class B. In […]
Brands race 4
This one was really tough, but I won again. Keith Smith got a great start and found a huge amount of pace too. I was behind him for two laps and pretty shocked at how fast we were going. I passed him into Paddock Hill Bend and got my head down, but when I checked […]
Brands race one
29 Aug 2010
I hope none of you reading this find what I’m about to write in any way boring or predictable, because I rode my heart out and the result is really exciting for me. I won. By 17 seconds. And I smashed the old lap record down to 49.6s. Before the weekend I’d thought how cool […]
Brands race 2
Short version – I won! The rain stopped an hour before the race and the sun came out so the track was drying fast. I checked the circuit with ten minutes to go and it was still damp so I went for my harder wets which work like intermediates. Thanks to brilliant help from good […]
Brands Hatch practice and qualifying
28 Aug 2010
It feels great to be back at Brands, the place I consider my home circuit. After last year’s bad luck I really want to do well this weekend. Usual apologies for the lateness of this blog and the absence of a proper preview. It was another week of ridiculous hours at work and everything else […]
