I am a Rhodesian
born and bred. I moved to Australia where at the age of 18, and
having gotten my drivers licence, I went illegal racing on a road
out side of Gladstone (where I was living at the time). As usual, in
time, we got caught by the local boys in blue and booked. This
taught us two things: 1st, keep a better lookout when doing illegal
things, 2nd, and most importantly, was to find a place where you
could do it legally.
This started my interest in racing, however, with work I couldn't
compete in all the points score meets and thus didn't get anywhere
with the yearly championship.
I then moved up to Townsville in 1996 and started racing up there,
but with other commitments I wasn't able to make it out to the track
on a regular basis until 2000.
In 2001 I was able to make every race meeting and became involved in
the track even more by working there (a commitment that I still
carry out to this day) and was able to get "runner up" for the
championship for 2001, a feat that I haven't been able to achieve or
better since.
In 2003 I bought a new '03 gixxer 1000 and raced that for a while,
but got side tracked by stunting and have been into the stunting
scene ever since. However, I still attend the drags, work there as a
scrutineer, time keeper, track worker etc, and spend a lot of time
helping and encouraging riders with there racing.
I have one rider (Martin Kildey) who I have been tutoring and who is
especially talented. He has competed in his first full year of
racing this year and won the championship (2005 - 2006). This season
(2006 - 2007) looks like a big year and I have been encouraged (read
as pestered) to race for the championship this year myself, so I
have decided to do so. I didn't get off to a good start - I've only
been able to finish round one in the first meeting of the season,
hopefully though, New Season = New Luck!
