No just stock rods

My first race was exciting and challenging and fell in love with the sport after my first race.

I started racing in 2016 and have progressed up the grades to a red roof and in my first year i managed to get up to a blue roof and come 3rd in the Scottish championship. Year 2 brought a new car out but had really bad handling issues so I was lacking a lot a pace but still managed to qualify for all the major championship which I was delighted at didn't manage to achieve much that year as o was focused on getting the car going. Year 3 was the best yet. Found where the car should be and mannged to qulifie for all championships getting 4th in the British 3rd in the Tullyroan challenge cup 10th in the world and then 2nd in the Scottish championship and 10th in the best in Britain championship this year we will just need to see what happens but I can't wait to get back out racing again.

Highs of racing so far has to be the british championship in Ireland 4th in the British 3rd in the Tullyroan challenge cup and being on pace with the car. Lows was 2017 when I got wrecked at hednesford hill raceway and crashed in the Scottish championship ending my chances.

I would most like to achieve is having a title on my roof that would just mean everything to me

My favourite driver has to be John Christie, was at Ipswich 2017 he drove an absolute belter of a drive, driving round the outside of most the cars and then winning the race.

My favourite race has to be winning my first heat at Tullyroan
