We turned up to the last round needing six points to clinch the chmpionship and as you would expect for the end of October the weather was atrocious.
So we opted for the safe route and took it easy in fourth place and let the chaps fighting
for second and third places in the championship battle it out.

Well thats it for another year we have suceeded in what we set out to do by winning the SOT championship. Now just to decide what we are going to do next year…

Well we turned the workshop into a dance hall/bar for an evening with a live band beer and baked potatoes but sadly no mirrored disco ball.

The qualifying went well and we ended up pole for the racing over the next two days, we needed to win all the races to be in the lead going to the last round at Mallory park.

The first race on Saturday went to plan with a good start and we led from the off to finish first, the second race however did not go quite to plan when Paul started in second gear, however it did make for a more exciting race as he had to fight his way through from fifth, perhaps he should do it more often…

Sundays race 1 and again we led from start to finish, race two was better with a good clean battle with Marcus Wade however we beat him to the line and finished first.

So its off to Mallory park on the 28th we need only six points to win the championship

Sorry for the delay in updating you all we have been very busy with the Duke

Donington went well we qualified on pole and in the race led from the front while settingfastest lap after fastest lap until we were black flagged at the end of lap 11 of 12, we hadsome smoke coming from the bike which turned out to be oil leaking from the catchment tank.

The reason for the oil started with a very disorganised grid line-up where the riders wereheld for over 7 minutes, the temperature got well over 100 degrees damaging the pistons,rings, barrels, bearings and the likes so it has taken up some time stripping and rebuilding the engine.

We were invited to take our 1098 to Silverstone and meet the Ducati Xerox junior team it was a once in a life time experiance chatting to the whole team it was very interesting to compare the two bikes, our power output is the same as theirs so we must be doing something right.
