Post by Skub »

For those interested in seeing kids being brought into racing.

True North ‘Speed Kids’ on BBC One Northern Ireland, Tuesday, April 12 at 10:40 pm.

I watched this last night,so it's probably still available on catchup or iplayer.

Will see if i can find it on catch up :thumbup:

On a similar note a young lad i have had an interest in for a couple of years and sponsored by a friend is now in Red Bull Rookies and doing well. Last time i saw Casey O'Gorman was a couple of months ago when he was wazzing round Ellough go kart track on a pit bike making everyone else look like they were standing still. Last year he won the British Talent Cup and is now on the world scene and just finished testing at Portimao with the rest of the new kids in the Red Bull Rookies Cup

Out of 6 sessions with 25 riders managed to finish P2, P1, P4, P3, P9 and P5. No crashes and fast in both wet and sunny conditions
