Cadwell Park, rd4
26 May 2011
I won’t be at Cadwell this weekend as I’m using it as my drop round. This year each class goes to 10 out of 11 events, but only nine count for the championship. If you have more cash than Man City then you could do all 10 and drop your worst score but the original […]
Cadwell race three
08 Aug 2010
I won! And my friend Sam rode amazingly in the first CB500 race to get third in an incredibly exciting ten-bike battle. He was also promoted to second in yesterday’s race after several riders were found to be cheating. We’re all so proud and happy for him. In my race I got a great launch […]
Cadwell qualifying
07 Aug 2010
Second – by 0.18s! The pace is scorching here with the top three all in mid 1m36s. Chris Matthews pipped me in the last few seconds of the session to take pole. Andrew Plaskitt is third, just another 0.2s behind me. It’s going to be a close and exciting race. Both of them live very […]
Cadwell race one
Third place – even though I was first over the line. The reason was a 10s penalty I’d picked up for overtaking under a yellow flag. Obviously I hadn’t seen it but it’s been confirmed that it was there so I guess it’s a fair cop. I got away second and stayed there for a […]
Cadwell race two
How do you make sure you can’t get a penalty for overtaking under a yellow flag? Make sure there’s no one to overtake, that’s how. I won by 7s having led from the start. Along the way I set a new lap record of 1m35.72s, a time I wouldn’t have thought possible yesterday. It more […]
Cadwell race three
31 May 2010
After a difficult start the weather today turned out to be fantastic. The same can be said of my race. From 32nd on the grid I had to battle hard to make up ground but came up smiling with another second place. That was especially pleasing today we’re doing eight laps not nine. I don’t […]
Cadwell race four
After a blinding start and first lap, at the end of which I was already in eighth, the race was stopped for an accident. At the restart not only was my initial hard work undone but, because of the delay, the race was cut to four laps, halving the time I had to make up […]
Cadwell race one
30 May 2010
I needed binoculars to see the lights from the 11th row and there were so many slower bikes in front of me that I had to keep rolling off to dodge them on the way to the first corner at the start. It was soaking wet too. Somehow I made up 22 places to be […]
Little things
18 May 2010
It’s always the little things that make a big difference, but often it takes someone else to point it out. Had my bike died a death beyond saving when it mysteriously conked out last weekend in my garage? No, a main fuse, located away from the others and which I didn’t know existed, had blown. […]
Season preview
09 Mar 2009
Hello and welcome to my racing blog with White Dalton Motorcycle Solicitors. The season begins this week, on Friday 13th no less, at Mallory Park with a three day meeting. So, now seems like a good time to give you some background to this racing venture – it seems odd to call it a ‘team’ […]
