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 […]
Snet race three
03 May 2010
The weather is playing havoc as one shower after another whips overhead in the gale force winds. It rained ten minutes before our race but was drying in places again by the time we went out. I’d been strong in those conditions in second qualifying so I felt confident. Another good start from 13th on […]
Season and Rd1 preview
10 Mar 2010
The 2010 season starts this Saturday at Mallory Park. Part of the club racing idiom is not knowing who you will be racing until you sign in on raceday morning. The pecking order won’t shake out until after qualifying, at the earliest. One (big) step up, in the British paddock, all the riders and teams […]
Pole dancing!
17 Oct 2009
Pole position that is. I’m top of the time sheets by a massive 1.4s. I knew I’d put some good laps together when I had clear track, but I didn’t expect that size advantage. Lining up with me on the front row will be Craig Morley in second and leading the B class. Then comes […]
Practice day
16 Oct 2009
It was so good to be back on the Tuono today. It felt brilliant, and by the second session when the track was fully dry I was right in the groove. Someone timed Andy Denyer at a best of 1m17.9s, which makes my best of 1m16.9s really encouraging. We’ll both go faster in qualifying tomorrow […]
Race one
12 Sep 2009
Fourth in class, seventh overall behind a few B bikes. That’ll do donkey, that’ll do. Massive congratulations to Keith Smith who won ahead of Andy Denyer and Chris Matthews. Wilko

Second place – thanks to sudden heavy rain on the last lap and an odd two-lap count back. Qualifying was poor. It showered constantly and, with new dry tyres fitted, I never felt confident to push, ending up 14th and on the fourth row of the grid. Nevertheless, I still felt positive for a good […]
