23 Jun 07 - I rode at the fourth round of the FGA Championships which was held at Hampton Hall, Malpass. A brilliant track and a great days racing! My results for the day were
- 1st Ride - 4th
- 2nd Ride - 4th
- 3rd Ride - 2nd
- 4th Ride - 2nd
- 5th Ride - 4th
- 6th Ride - 5th
Overall, I felt that I rode pretty well as in each of my rides I was on the pace, and I managed to mix it in with some of the usual top 3 finishers in the rounds. My brother Steven also rode in his first meeting since his crash 3 weeks ago and managed 4th Place with a good display of riding. I'm all set for the next meeting to be held at Crewe in July.
15 Jun 07 - Wrekin Grasstrack Club have announced that the fixture scheduled for 11 Aug 07 at Chetton (Near Bridgnorth) has changed and will now take place at Shawbury instead. Date remains the same.
15 Jun 07 - Forks back from repairers. Weekend looks like putting bikes back together and sort out some engine problems. Thanks to John Hughes of JHR Engineering for straightening Steve's and my forks out.
2 Jun 07 - I rode in the 2nd Round of the FGA Championships held at Malpas, near Whitchurch. An eventful day of racing. My brother Steven who was having a great day of racing, winning his first FGA Race ever, suffered a bad fall in the 2nd Race of the day. This resulted in some delays, and he ended up being taken to hospital. He has two cracked ribs, but he's alright! He also bent the forks on his bike. In my Opening Ride, I was hit by another rider, resulting in a fall. Although no one was excluded, I bent the forks of my bike, broke the rear mounting for the rear mud guard and damaged by handle bars. This has cost some money to repair. I also had some bike trouble as a result of the fall and had to miss two of my rides whilst temporary repairs by the pitcrew were made. On the day I finished in 11th Place. Overall, it was a pretty bad day of Racing for Team Frays. .
