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.

Sykes Wins the Race of the Year for Rizla Suzuki
20 October 2008
Rizla Suzuki’s Tom Sykes has finished his season on a high by taking pole position, race win and the lap record today at Mallory Park during the Race of the Year. Sykes and his superfast Rizla Suzuki headed free practice, qualifying and continued in that vein with a dominant race win. The race got off to a complicated start with a faller on the warm-up lap halting proceedings. Due to this incident the 20 lap race was reduced to 18 laps instead. As soon as the lights went out Sykes got his head down taking the hole shot and gradually gapping the chasing Karl Harris. The short 1.39 –mile track saw back markers come into play just six laps in and as Sykes cut his way through them it allowed Harris to close him down. Sykes continued to concentrate on the job in hand putting in the fastest lap of the race on lap 8 setting a new record time of 51.271secs.
