Racing Facts & Insights
Career History
2018 started in the prostock basics at Cowdenbeath then moved onto the 1300 the next season and been in them ever since
What is involved in the run up to an event, and what emotions are involved
We spend a couple nights at the garage giving the car a once over and fixing it if needed.
On a race day I just prepare for the meeting ahead but as the start time approaches the nerves and the adrenaline start to kick in
Memories of first race
We arrived at the track for first meeting, with me not knowing how to drive a car so I got a quick lesson in the pits from my sister who got me up to speed. Went out for the first race started at the back with 25+ cars on track and finished 7th which was one of the biggest buzzes I have ever felt.
Career highs and lows
My first heat win in the prostock basics was a big highlight for me and my first final win in the 1300s was as well
There’s been a few low points with having big crashes, big damages and one sore body but that’s all part of stock car racing
