Tom Comments on the 2007 Season
2007 Review
- Derby
Phoenix F400
At the start of the 2007 season (my first full season) I had my
goal of becoming
the Formula 400 Novice champion and top 10 in the Formula 400 championship.
The season got underway at croft where I had never been before starting
last on
the grid as I didn't know grids where determined on how early your first
entry
was due to it being my first year. I finished 11th which turned
out to be my
joint worst result all year and only one of two results which were outside
the
top 10. We improved all weekend to come away with a best and my
best 6th
in the formula 400 and 4 novice wins. We then moved on to Mallory
and then
Cadwell were I put in some good results inside the top 10 were my goals
were
and the start of the year. Cadwell saw my best result so far which
was 4th in
the formula 400 just missing out on my first trophy in the Formula
400 class.
So far still unbeaten
in the novice championship. We then went back to a
soaked Mallory park were I led my first race from the start for two
laps but
ended up in 6th and the 7th which I was slightly disappointed with but
was still
unbeaten Novice taking both wins of the day. The next round was
at Brands Hatch which I was really looking forward to. I decided
to do both open 400 and formula 400 classes as it was such
a long way for just the usually 2 races. First race was in the
open and I had my first and only crash of the year! First
ever open 400 race and I ended up on my ear! good job I was
only using it for practice. The most important formula 400 races
went well, with my confidence knocked I finished 6th and 8th in the
formula and 2 wins in the novice championship. Next up was another
new track to me, Snetterton and after an electrical fault with my bike
in practice I didn't even manage a lap so was slightly worried about
the races! The races went well considering and finished 7th, 8th on
Saturday and 6th and 7th on the Sunday. I was also the first novice
in all 4 races which meant I was the 2007 Formula 400 Novice Champion
with a 100% record. Donington was next which I have always wanted to
ride and it didn't disappoint. I loved it even though I was suffering
from tonsillitis. I finished 5th in both races having some close
battles. First novice home keeping my unbeaten record up to yet.
Then back to my team G&S racings local track of Cadwell Park
having some very close races coming away with two 3rds, 4th and a 5th. I
only managed to be first novice home in 2 of the 4 races here which
ended my unbeaten record after an impressive showing by Gary Beardsley.
Next was another track I have always wanted to ride, Oulton Park, very
impressed with the track and cannot wait to go back. I came away
with two 6th and first novice in both. Then to the last round
of the championship which was at Cadwell Park. I had a real close
first race coming 5th just 0.30 seconds off 3rd. And finished 3rd in
the last race of the year earning my first Formula 400 trophy.
I finished the 2007 season the Formula 400 Novice champion and 3rd place
in the Formula 400 Championship also being the only rider to score in
every race and I am extremely proud of it all and would
like to thank everyone who has helped me through out the year I could
not of done it without the help of Graham and Sue(G&S Racing), dad
Mark for preparing engines, Rob and Stacey, number one fan Sam, Kelly,
Lee and Karen, Les Jayne and Sean, all at Sutterton Caravans, Micron
exhausts, Pidcock motorcycles and all the family support.
Thanks Tom Fisher #175
Throughout the 2007 season I also had my first ride on a 600 at Darley Moor thanks to Phil Murden winning the novice memorial trophy race and gaining much needed experience.
2008
Thinking ahead to the 2008 season, nothing is set yet but would like
to move up a level to the formula 600 but we are in need of some much
needed sponsorship as it’s much more expensive than the 400 racing
we did this year. If we do not have the funds then we shall stay
in the 400 class and hopefully challenge for the top step in the championship.
