Paul Mackey Road Racing

Its been a while since any updates but Ive had to focus on other things , paying for racing can only be done with my work, but some great news for me any way ,I will be racing this year , just a totally different setting ,with like many, the scamdemic hit harder than ever expected , my work has taken me to a new country , i don't think there will be any road racing this year for me , but joining up with Racing team to get out on track at Mopko circuit early next month will see if i can still ride a bike , hopefully .

After a few days of great weather learning the track again as it seemed more like 10 years than last year regarding the breaking markers and when to tip in. the Tuesday practice had head winds which made it difficult on the big bike and was holding the 600 below on revs which was frustrating with all the work GS Motorcycle repairs had to do to even get me there with a complete rebuild of a so called plug and play engine that I had bought which turned out to have exactly the same power as my original one.
Everything went without any hairy moments, Thursday practice much of the same after putting an extra tooth on the 600 seemed better but no way good enough Down the long straights as was shown on my speed trap timing, then a hairy moment when going down the coast road after black hill flat out in top gear the handle bar snapped off in my hands, I managed with a bit of jiggery pockery to ride her back to the pits waving to marshals with the throttle in my hand 😂 the race Thursday went well and had a good battle between us and enjoying the race then the race was red flagged which i would of gained places with an extra lap but that's Racing,
Going into Saturday feeling positive as the heavens opened for racing which helps when the bike is a bit underpowered for this circuit. stopping and starting all day with about 10 siting laps we eventually managed to race had a good battle for 11th which I thought I had on the last corner but landed 12th in the supersport race in tricky conditions, sometimes a race can be a brilliant race in just how you get to the position and the battle you have to stay there.
just the big bike to go out on for the rest of the races but with the on and off wet and drying conditions saw that full race distance on wets wasn't going to happen and decided to pull out as we didn't have the time to change, I decided to change to a dry rear for the last race but with more delays on the siting lap there was much more rain had fallen around the track than was apparent by the start line which after the site lap the organisers decided not to run the race ,
I would not to of liked to have to make the decisions for today's racing as your damned if you do and damned if you don't so from me hats off to everyone who was involved in the organising of the event and especially to the marshals and medical staff who had there work cut out for them especially on Saturday there's a great atmosphere in the paddock with all different characters which makes for me the whole week a great time and Murphy helping to raise cash for the air ambulance dressing up rounded off for me the good group of people that you meet.
With all the support from my pit crew I had which made it so much easier to concentrate on riding the bike, bringing his own caravan for me and helping out and last but not least which came over Last minute to help out.
