MY NAME IS GARY HENRIKSEN & I AM COMPETING IN THE SOUND OF THUNDER CLASS AT BOTH THE DARLEY MOOR ROAD RACING CLUB & SOME OF THE NEW ERA CLUB MEETINGS.

I HAVE BEEN RIDING MOTORCYCLES SINCE THE AGE OF SEVEN BUT STARTED RACING IN 1986 AT THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN IN THE DISCIPLINE OF GRASSTRACK . I REACHED NATIONAL LEVEL &  COMPETED IN SOME LARGER EVENTS SUCH AS THE FRITTINGTON FLYER, THE LINCOLNSHIRE POACHER & THE DONINGTON G.P. GRASSTRACK. LATER I ALSO COMPETED AT SPEEDWAY, RIDING IN SECOND HALVES AT PETERBOROUGH &  (AFTER A PERIOD OF SOME YEARS OF RETIREMENT) SHEFFIELD. I STILL RACE SPEEDWAY & IN THE LAST FEW YEARS I HAVE COMPETED IN EVENTS RUN BY SOUTHERN TRACK RIDERS, WHO ARE AN AMATEUR SPEEDWAY CLUB, RACING AT TRACKS LIKE KINGS LYNN, NEWPORT & SCUNTHORPE.

I STARTED ROAD RACING IN 2007 ON A SUZUKI TL1000S, A GREAT BIKE BUT DOWN ON HORSE POWER BY TODAY'S STANDARDS.  I  SPENT ALL  OF THE 2007-2008 WINTER (ALL MY MONEY, THE WIFE'S MONEY, THE BANK'S MONEY & MY DAUGHTER'S TRUST FUND)   PREPARING AN APRILIA RSV1000R WHICH SHOULD COMPETE A BIT BETTER WITH THE OTHER BIKES IN THE S.O.T. CLASS.

PLEASE COME ALONG & SUPPORT US IN OUR ENDEAVOURS & IF ANYONE CAN HELP WITH SPONSORSHIP IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED AS ALL MY RACING IS SELF FUNDED & THUS I HAVE TO MAKE COMPROMISES WHICH OTHER RACERS DO NOT (SUCH AS USING SECOND HAND RACE TYRES - THANK YOU E BAY ).
