Impressive Tinmouth Powers to Double Podium
22 October 2008
Jenny Tinmouth completed her debut season riding her Honda CBR600RR in fine style last weekend gaining two strongly contested third place finishes in the Thundersport 600 races at Donington Park, followed up by an equally impressive performance in the traditional season ending ‘Race of the Year’ at Mallory Park the following day, whereby she recorded a well deserved tenth place. Having secured a late entry to both meetings, Tinmouth was eager to put on a good show. However, the first qualifying session on the Saturday didn’t go particularly well, the problem being a slipping clutch, resulting in her completing the session in a distant sixth position. Final qualifying was much better, Steve, her mechanic had replaced the clutch, and Jenny had been unleashed to set a time of 1 minute 14.801 seconds, to put her where she needed to be, on the front row of the grid.

Solid Results for Andrews
03 July 2008
The Lloyds British Jentin Racing secured some solid results this weekend at Mallory Park, rider Simon Andrews gained two strong seventh places finishes in the sixth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. At one stage in race two Andrews was battling hard with the factory riders for a good podium position. The 25-year-old qualified in 13th position on the grid, it was a dramatic qualifying session for Andrews as he was shown the black and orange flag mid way through qualifying and the youngster was forced to pull in, which lost him valuable track time. On the small 1.4-mile circuit it is difficult to get a clear track during qualifying and this set back lost Andrews vital time. After checking the bike thoroughly no problem was found and Andrews continued with his challenge for a good grid position.

Best ’08 Result for McConnell, While Haydon Learns Hard Lesson
03 July 2008
In a day characterised by the fickle British weather, both MSS Discovery Kawasaki riders left the 1.4mile Mallory circuit in Leicestershire with much to think about. For Billy it was a magnificent and well deserved sixth place in race one; while James Haydon reflects on just how competitive and unforgiving the 2008 British Superbike Championship is. After a good start to race one, McConnell was the unwitting participant in a first corner crash which saw Leon Camier tangle with the rear of his Ninja ZX-10R and, ultimately, crash.

Lowry Takes Mallory Park Podium
02 July 2008
Relentless Suzuki by TAS riders Ian Lowry and Michael Laverty can both take positives from Sunday’s BSB round at Mallory Park. Lowry secured a strong podium finish after a very wet British Supersport race in third place. Laverty’s results [11th and a DNF] do not reflect the strength of his performances at the Leicestershire venue. In race one, Laverty was in the front five fighting for the win but after being punted out of second place at Shaw’s Hairpin by Shane Byrne on lap 7, then getting caught out by backmarkers in the closing stages – the Toomebridge rider lost the front going into Charlie’s while holding a solid fifth place. He eventually remounted to finish 11th.

Podiums for Crutchlow & Haslam at Mallory
01 July 2008
HM Plant Honda’s Cal Crutchlow took a pair of third places at today’s Bennetts British Superbike races at Mallory Park, putting him back into second place in the championship. His team-mate Leon Haslam took a superb second in the first race, but slipped to sixth in the second outing with a tyre choice that didn’t suit the drying conditions on the 1.41-mile Leicestershire track. In the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship Steve Brogan crashed his HM Plant Honda CBR600RR out of the race and broke two bones in his foot. The 27-year-old rider is banking on being fit for the second meeting of the season at Oulton Park in around three weeks time. Today’s race schedule at Mallory Park did not include the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 championship.

Dickinson in the Points at Mallory
01 July 2008
Truck Links Yamaha rider, Joe Dickinson earned four valuable points at Round 6 of the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship at Mallory Park today (29th June). A heavy rain shower caused dramatic scenes on the grid as the race director declared the race wet, holding the riders on the grid for 10 minutes to allow wet tyres to be fitted. Having made a flying start into eighth, Joe looked to improve on his eleventh place qualifying position. As the race progressed to a third of the way in a dryer line started to form and the full wet tyres started to go off. Joe lost his confidence in the wet front tyre and slowly started to slip back down the order to 12th to equal his season best place from Brands Hatch.

Kirkham Claims Spring Cup Title at Mallory
01 July 2008
Jon Kirkham claimed the first Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup Spring Cup title over a thrilling 14-lap race at Mallory Park (29th June). Drama unfolded as the riders circulated round the 1.41 mile circuit on the first of two warm-up laps. A short sharp shower across part of the Leicestershire circuit saw the red flags deployed and proceedings briefly halted. A quick re-start was called as the rain past, with race distance reduced to 14 laps. Championship leader, Jon Kirkham, had the unenviable task of just bringing home' the Jon Kirkham Racing Yamaha R1 in the points to secure the title. But with Warren having an outside chance on paper, and Ben Wilson determined to finish the first half of the season with his first win, the scene was set for some breath-taking action.
