2010 Dates - PROVISONAL

2010 C.R.M.C Race Dates - PROVISIONAL

  • Saturday 3rd April - Pembrey, South Wales
  • Sunday 4th April - Pembrey, South Wales 


You can see we are going to be attending a variety of circuits in both the UK and Europe with some new venues such as Knockhill and Anglesey. We will again be attending The Beezumph Rally which is a true must go event and is a  great couple of days for everything Triple related. Following on the great time we had at Croix-en-Ternois in 2009 we are looking forward to going again. We are also hoping to compete in one or possibly two rounds of the Belgian Classic championship at Chimay and then Gedinne.

Cadwell Park - 10th & 11th October

This meeting was the last in the 2009 calender for the C.R.M.C and is their Race Of the Year Meeting. The race format being slightly different to the normal. Instead of 2 races per day we have 2 races Saturday of which count towards the championship and then Suday features 1 longer race with the winner earning the right to display the number 1 plate the following season.
We arrived at the circuit on Thursday afternoon and set up camp. Friday saw us have the outfit safety checked and noise tested (101 db so well under the limit) and sign on ready.
Saturday was a cold but bright start and practice went well with the bike running good and feeling great. Our first race of the day was the second of the meeting and earlier than normal. We took up position at the back of the grid and had a steady ride but elected to pull in after 4 laps of 5 had been completed as Grant's arm / wrist were feeling a bit sore. Race 2 was after lunch and again due to be a 5 lap affair. However follwoing an eventful few races with a few stoppages and delays this was cut to just 3 laps which to be honest suited us better! We again started from the back of the grid and had another steady ride just enjoying oursleves and gaining some valuable track time.
Sunday dawned and another cold but relatively dry day followed. The Race Of the Year was due to be over 7 laps but due to yesterdays stoppages etc. was reduced to 6 laps and then to 5. We got a cracking start from the back of the grid and passed 4 outfits on the fast run upto Copice and passed a further 2 going round Coppice. Sadly it was all in vain as we headed down the Gooseneck we could see an outfit had spun off and the red flags came out. Due to the rider of the outfit needing medical attention an early lunch was called. The re run came and again we got a great start and were having a great 5 way battle at the back end of the field which we were doing well in until we headed for the Gooseneck for the third time when Grant felt a nasty wobble from the front and shut off allowing the other outfits passed. We carried on round and pulled off in the pits. The cause was found to be a front tyre that had gone flat - possibly a puncture? As a result we decided not to enter the handicap race.

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the C.R.M.C marshals, officials and sidecar teams for a great season despite all the challenges

C.R.M.C Brands Hatch - 11th & 12th July

This was the first actual meeting for us this year and following on from the great time we had at Croix where we finally proved that we have now sorted the engine we were full of high hopes and expectations. Due to  a lack of race action this year and the fact the C.R.M.C championships were in full swing we elected to start from the rear of the grid so as not to cause any problems. Race 1 Saturday ended in chaos with a huge pile up of some 7 or 8 outfits on the exit of Paddock Bend. Grant did a great job of steering us safely through the debris. The restart was held after lunch and we had a steady ride. on returning to the pits we found the front brake caliper on one side very hot so we had some adjustments to try to sort it for race 2. Race 2 came and went but without us as the fuel regulator decided to fail on the warm up lap!
Sunday dawned and our first race came round and we soon headed out having sorted the fuel regulator and further adjusted the brakes. We had another steady ride with a fastest lap some 2 seconds quicker than yesterday. Race 2 saw us get a superb start and despite taking up a grid slot at the very back of the grid we passed a couple of outfits on the run into Paddock. We had a great next few laps and were really begining to enjoy ourselves when on lap 4 one of the 2 outfits behind us decided to slam into the back of us sending us hurtling acroos the track and thrown out of the outfit. The race was stopped due to the incident which resulted in Grant sustaining a very nasty broken arm and collar bone.

Please feel free to pop along and say hello at any meeting.
