Q2: Favourite part about racing at the mount?

Q6: Is there one machine in particular that you would like to race at Scarborough?
“A sidecar, always wanted to have a go in one and still trying to use my contacts to get a spin in one, one day. As a driver only though, not mad enough to get on without control of the handlebars!”
Q7: One word to describe Oliver’s Mount?
“Welcoming”
Q8: Most respected racing rival at Scarborough?
“So far I would have to say Rob Hodson, as he’s been the benchmark man overall on the couple of occasions, I’ve been there.”
