In 2016, I raced at 10 different events at 10 different tracks, one of which I had never been to before. This is the least number of events that I've done in at least 15 years. I entered 35 races and started 32 of them. I had 5 DNFs. I had two crashes, both in practice and neither of which stopped me from racing later in the day. This is a little less than my average number of crashes. I raced 6 different bikes belonging to 5 different people. I had 9 firsts, 12 seconds, 4 thirds, 1 fourth, 2 fifths, and 1 sixth. Despite running many less events and having a lot of mechanical gremlins, I won the AHRMA 350GP Championship yet again. This concludes my 45th year of racing without missing a year.
I also did the Lap of Honour at the IOM Classic TT, 4 Tiddler Tours, and one Moto Giro.
45 years?! Man that's impressive. I hope you have many, many more. And I selfishly hope that one day I'll be on the grid with you if I ever get any of my bikes finished and the nerve to get on the track :-)
