Racing History

Mark started doing trackdays in 2002, and isn't not very far removed from the new track rider. He began racing at the age of 42, and was novice of the year at OMRRA. He raced with OMRRA for 4 year with a Supersport SV650, with a best overall class finish in 2009 of 2nd in Middleweight Supersport. In Mark's humble way "I was really good at collecting second and third place trophies".
