UPDATE - Monday 25th September 2006

WOW, What a weekend! Steve did us proud.
Saturday turned out to be a great day; the weather was on our side we had temperatures at Cadwell Park touching 28°. Steve was in race 4 and race 10.

As the time came for Steve to proceed to the starting grid every one in the team was anxious and both excited as he had not been on his bike for 14 months, but here we were waiting for him to get under way.

The bikes all proceeded down to the starting grid and because Steve had no form for this year he was placed 35th on the grid out of 38 bikes. The roar of the bikes intensified as the starter walked backwards from the track ready to send them off. Steve got off to a great start passing at least 20 bikes. Slowly but surely he was moving up the pack picking other riders off in the corners and on the straights. As he entered the 5th and final lap Steve had managed to get his way through the pack and was the race leader. To all our surprise and glee Steve had won his first race after a 14 month break.

Steve's second race would be race 10 on the day’s race card after lunch.

Lunch was finished and racing resumed at race 9. We all said to Steve "No pressure mate - Just do your best" but race 10 was a trophy race so there was a chance of some silverware. Because Steve had won his previous race he was moved up the grid considerably to position number 12 again out of 38 bikes. Steve again got a flying start and passed a couple of bikes as he disappeared up the long sweeping left hand bend at Cadwell. This again was a 5 lap race and sure enough true to past performance he was picking of the bikes and managed to get himself another FIRST place and some silverware.

As you can imagine the whole team were jumping for joy and celebrations were in order for the rest of the day.

Sunday was a bit of a different day, the weather was a bit cooler in the morning and the track was a slightly damp. Steve was out in the same race numbers as Saturday, races 4 and 10.

The tension was mounting as he was called to the starting line up and because his form was improving he was up on grid position 9. Sunday's racing would all be 7 lap race's instead of 5. The roar of the bikes engines from the grid was raging as the starter moved backwards form the grid and as the flag dropped they were off. Steve had another good start but this time he was in among the more capable riders from the off. Steve settled well into the race and was holding his own all the way. Lap two and three were good clean laps then into lap four. Steve was again leading the pack by the end of lap 5 but another bike was hot on his tail. It looked like the Shingoi Team were on for another win. Lap six saw a change in the race lead, but as Steve came past the club house he managed to regain the pole position with a daring late manoeuvre. This was all to be in vain as he exited from the final bend to travel the fast straight past the pit lane. As Steve applied more throttle to exit the corner he had moved of the dry line and the back wheel started to spin up and traction was lost. The consequences of this meant the bike was sliding. Steve was ejected from the bike and slid across the grass with bike following.

That was the end of the days racing for Steve and the Shingoi Team.

We are please to say that after a quick check up at the medical centre Steve was found to have no serious injuries just battered and bruised. Steve was officially classed as walking wounded. He is now nursing a few bruises and scuff on his back.

Despite all of this action Steve has vowed to return to racing soon.
