An update.... never!
This will probably come as a shock to those of you that read this on a regular basis. Nothing happens for 3 months and then we have an update....
And there will be more to come, honest! We start racing bikes and all kind of things happen then!
Briefly then, B&W Racing (we've changed the name slightly, did you notice?) has changed a lot for 2009.
With the current economic crisis, it seemed a good idea to go back to basics and so we are down to a bare minimum of team members to get us through the year.
We really hope that we will be able to ride out the financial pressures and come back in 2010 with some fantastics ideas to cary the team onwards.
But until then we will compete in the Thunderbikes class with Derby Pheonix MCC on a Suzuki GSXR750 K4. There's a K7 750 in the garage as a bit of a back up too.
We've got hold of a fantastic bike and with a bit of luck we have a rider that can still ride at the front of a club racing pack.
Erol is off to new pastures in the ThundersportGB paddock and we wish him well with that, but for now B&W will be a 1 rider team, just as we started 4 years ago.
But we want to do more... we want to learn about the engineering side of things as well. And to start that off we will be entering the Belchford Downhill Challenge. 4 wheels, no engine, a push start, 3 chicanes and a pub at the end. I think we'll do OK :-) But we better break out the welder soon to get a start on that one.
Unfortunately we wont be at the first round of the Derby Pheonix Championship at Croft in Yorkshire which will put us at a bit of a disadvantage for Cadwell on the 3rd and 4th of May. But its a long year and we will be at the front of the pack soon after.
