Bad Luck for Bruce Wilson at Snetterton
16 June 2008
Bruce Wilson encountered even more bad luck when he crashed heavily in practice ahead of Sunday’s fifth round Superstock 600 championship race at Snetterton on Sunday. Practice began well for the Gipsey Bridge rider who was circulating in second place in the opening session but as he negotiated Russell’s chicane the Team Motorcycle Racer Suzuki highsided and threw him off onto the tarmac. It was a race against time to get the bike repaired in time for the first qualifying period and although battered and bruised from his earlier mishap Wilson was up for the challenge. But he soon discovered a problem with the brakes and was forced to retire without recording a qualifying time.

Bruce Wilson Oulton Park Review
29 April 2008
Bruce Wilson from Gipsey Bridge near Boston will be greeted with a familiar circuit for the first time this season when he travels to Oulton Park for the second round of the Metzler National Superstock at the weekend. On his two previous outings in the series - Brands Hatch where he qualified for the race, that is now to be run on May 11 in 29th position and Thruxton where he finished in 25th place – Wilson was unfamiliar with the circuit layout, as he had never ridden at either circuit. But having competed at Oulton Park on many occasions he is relieved he doesn’t have to waste valuable testing time learning the circuit.
