Modified layout – it’s short but I quite like the longer turn 1 on this layout. The KSR practice day was on Monday this time so Josh and I did the SOAR Friday practice instead – it’s better value for money now that it’s a full day since they cancelled […]

SOAR Round 2 24, 25 June 2023
Reverse Alien layout, this is the only time we do reverse direction so I put the Pirelli scrub on the rear to try – it’s not supposed to be flipped so this is the only chance to really wear the left side. Thursday KSR track day We met Rick in […]
Nelson Ledges Track Day June
My good pal Danny was going racing with WERA at Nelson Ledges in Ohio and was kind enough to let me tag along to do the Fasttrax track day on the Friday before. Sadly the weather forecast was not good for the track day and I didn’t want to bother […]
SOAR Round 1 27, 28 May 2023
Technical layout Friday Practice Continuing with the new stiffer suspension settings, as usual I felt slow in the first session of the day and was happy to follow Josh around for the first few laps as he seemed to be pretty confident. It started picking up as the sessions went […]
SOAR Practice Weekend
First time running the bike this season, no changes to the bike but planning to try stiffening the suspension. We ran Technical in the morning but a load of dirt had been kicked up on to the track from turn 2 through to the second 90 degree corner – turn […]
Getting the YZ250F ready for 2023
Since we didn’t get out on the dirt bikes at all last year, I’m determined to go up to MotoPark at least once this year. The older kids are both over 18 so I don’t need to provide bikes and equipment etc for them, I’d love for them to come […]
2022 SOAR – Round 6
Technical layout – my favourite. Lost the front end in turn 2 in Am Old Folks on Sunday but got back on and managed to finish the race – leathers were scuffed up nasty on the left elbow and hip but the new Shark helmet didn’t get marked, very happy […]

2022 SOAR – Round 3
It was long layout and I struggled to find grip and confidence in turn 5, the second hairpin left. The practice day was wet so I was out on the B bike with the wet tires on – it was great! Danny loaned some wet tires to Heather so we […]
2022 SOAR – Round 2
I had a misunderstanding with a photographer and was waiting for him to send pics before posting about this round – it’s a month after the end of the season and I STILL haven’t received a single pic from this guy!! So I can’t remember all of what went on […]
