Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to
race motorbikes. In fact ever since I can remember I
have raced motorbikes in a variety of disciplines, starting
at the age of six with a good deal of success ever since.
I dream of the day when we reach the top and becoming
world champion. I believe in this dream. I know that
I can make a career for myself out of my passion
A Little About Me – A Brief History
Road racing is the all I have ever wanted to do for
as long as I can remember.
I got my first motorbike a Yamaha PW 50 at the age
of just 3 it was all I wanted for Christmas.
I started racing on it as soon as possible in the
discipline of motocross and that was in 1995.
In 95 and 96 I finished 4 championships with in the
top 5.
For the 1997 season I switched to grass track, grass
track was nearer to the sport of road racing here it
was more a battle with other riders rather than fighting
the elements of the motor cross track.
With 2nd been the best finish in a championship within
this sport.
With the arrival of foot and mouth in 2001 we switched
to mini moto racing.
·At this discipline we found success finishing
2nd in one championship and 3rd in two, and been awarded
senior rider of the year in 2003 with the eastern counties
club.
Then I progressed onto road racing for the start of
the 2004 season.
I had to start on a production rs Aprilia 125 because
of my age.
·2nd was the best place taken on the Aprilia
After only ten meetings I switched to the Honda rs
125 gp.
We raced with the Honda for the second half of the
2004 season and never finished out of the top ten
Same bike was rode in the 2005 season.
With the aim of the season been to learn all the circuits
around the country
We raced with many different clubs at circuits such
as Brands Hatch, Donnington Park and Cadwell.
Taking many finishes in the top 5 and the best championship
placing of the year been 5th, also in 2005 I took my
first win road racing, and as far as we know I’m
the only female to ever win at cadwell park
The best weekend of the year was taking 3 wins at
cadwell.
My season was cut short thought by an accident in
August at Snetterton where I highsided out of 2nd place
and broke my ankle
At the end of the season I received an award off the
ACU for youth achievement within the east midlands
2008 Plans
To compete in the North Gloucester club championship,
with the
aim of going out to win this championship.
This club was chosen as the go to many major circuits
around the country and also run an
Open 400cc class which Sam will enter on her 125cc
racing bike for extra track time.
Also we plan to enter club meetings at selected tracks
to improve
my knowledge and confidence on the major tracks.
We also plan to run at selected rounds of the British
Championship.
