Gary Stubbington

Position: Owner / Race Manager

I've had a love for bikes for many years now, I used to race Sidecar Motocross up until my son, Neil, got exceedingly good at it and I decided to take a back seat. Thinking I had now reached an age where it was better and safer (!) for me to sit on the sidelines and help Neil become British Sidecar MX Champion in 1992. My love and passion for racing has never left me.

In 2005 we purchased Pere Riba's old Kawasaki for our rider to compete in the British Supersport Cup. We hit a number of problems and difficulties with the bike and in August that year we were fortunate to be able to buy a Honda CBR 600 from Clive Padgett.

Paul Rees from Centurion had also been a personal sponsor but in August that year the team saw a full restructure and Paul became much more heavily involved (as the other owner / General Manager), in the sport and the team. We changed everything from the team's name, the trucks the mechanics and had a total revamp, all occurring in the space of five weeks!

That it was! The team worked incredible hard and this paid off as our rider became the first rider in history to win every race in the Supersport Cup Championship, taking the title convincingly at Croft with a stunning fourth place in the overall Championship race. The rider and team proved their worth and the turn around of the team was fantastic, we couldn't have asked for more! Just like in '06 we took the British Supersport Cup Championship again with Westy riding to the podium!

As we head into 2008 season with three riders Dan Cooper, 'Westy' Westmoreland and now, Dennis Hobbs, we are proving the team is getting stronger and a bigger force to be reckoned with. With all three riders in the main British Supersport Championship it should prove to be a very interesting 2008 season.

Thanks to everyone once again for what was a great '07 season.
