Being a local lad I know the circuit really well so I’m looking at having a progressive and positive meeting.”

“We went to Cadwell Park a couple weeks ago for a shakedown test, to get a base setting on the ZX6R. The day went better than expected as I hadn’t been on a race bike or circuit for 12 months!
I would just like to thank John of Thompsons racing for this opportunity to compete at the Gold Cup on top spec machinery. Also Nick Stones of Affordable Cars Driffield for there support for the event.”
