Wolverhampton Wheelers circuit race Stourport 31/3/12

Well my season started with a bang literally when I crashed during the warm up , causing the tyre to come off the rim of my rear wheel.
Luckily, Simon Dighton lent me his wheel and I was able to start the race.
I now need a new helmet, skinsuit and gloves oh well not cheap this racing lark!!!!!!!!!

Bad luck Gary - but glad you weren't seriously hurt.

Good result coming 7th

Bad luck on the crash

Good luck on you ordering another skinsuit

Tough luck, Gary. Didn't seem to affect your form to much, though.

Well done Gary and Greg. I see that Gareth was in action in the E/1/2/3 race too.

Well done Greg

Well done Gary and Greg. Think I'll stick to 'cross: softer crash landings!

Brilliant result all things considered Gary

Hmm, did you pull a tyre of your wheel in at a closed circuit last year too? It's all that speedy cornering you do!
