This year we hope to try finish in the top 10 in the Masters
Championship. Aidan McNamara crash repairs have done a beautiful job on
designing and painting my R6 and it is getting lots of attention in the
paddock. Toyota Waterford have done my race numbers and vinyl’s for the bike
and van this year and Tom Dunphy in CrossFit Waterford has been keeping me fit
in preparation for this season.
We got off to a good start with a 4th and 7th in the first
Masters round and had some solid finishes in the Easter races with a 7th, 12th
and 11th over that weekend. I am hoping to do as many rounds as I can afford
this year and try to get as much publicity for my sponsors as I can.
