John Batty Racing launched their new team in Sam Webb’s in the Isle of Man.  There was a quiz, a raffle and a buffet.  Thanks to all our supporters who attended.

Salt’s first outing of the season at Jurby Airfield in the Single, Twins and Tiple’s Championship with Andreas Motorcycle Club.

 

 

John gets to grips with the circuit and gains a 3^rd and 5th place in the triples and twins and more importantly

 

 

Two second places in the 650 race secures

 a 2^nd in the 650 Championship ratings with 24 points.

However the Club has reorganised the ratings so this may not be the case.

They originally put the 250 twins as a different championship but have since amalgamated it with the 650 mini twins.  That alters the positions but it is only the first meet of the season and anything can happen.

 

 

 

Brilliant start to the season…on to the next meeting!!

 

 

 

What happen’s next?

 

 

Buzz Aldrin comes to Jurby!!
