How I became involved in GT
My father Roy used to take me and the family to many meetings around the midland area when i was young, and i always loved watching the solos. Back then i never dreamed it was something that i could actually do but here we are today.
I became involved as a rider in 2005, i had done a bit of speedway but could never get enough track time and was always bored waiting for practise, So i decided to take up grasstrack on the 500 sidecars, only chose the sidecars because i thought it would be cheaper splitting the cost but how wrong i was!! Still glad i chose the 500's cuz there a good bunch.
