Pembrey race three
11 Apr 2010
This was a race of attrition. Three class A bikes didn’t start, including Carl Marsden, and another fell on oil dropped by one of the supermotards (aka super-retards) in class C. They aren’t doing much to endear themselves. Several class B bikes also crashed at various places. In the restarted five-lap race I was careful […]
Qualifying

Mallory race 4

First race, third place
13 Mar 2010
I rode as hard as I could, I promise you, but I just didn’t have the grip to go faster. Chris Matthews won in fine style and Carl Marsden was second after we had a decent battle.
