Sunday morning paper round. Which may be tiring but has helped pay for my speedway and grasstrack and any repairs! I also brought my Grasstrack bike from this money! And more recently, I helped pay some money towards the 500CC GM Speedway bike.

Bikes

  • Speedway: 500cc GM in a Jawa Frame (ex Jessica Lamb)
  • Grasstrack: Honda XL125 in an Antig Frame
  • Grasstrack: Honda CG125 in an Antig Frame

Ambitions
To get into a team and progress up to the Elite League and one day be in the SGP series as World champion!!!

Future of Speedway/Grasstrack
To see more Female riders involved (We can beat those boys any day!) More training schools and tracks reopened.
