I haven’t posted too much this year because I haven’t done a lot of racing due to having quite a few health issues including severe degenerative arthritis in my right shoulder that causes me a lot of pain, especially after a two hour lawn mower race. This weekend we were racing at west Lavington. The fields at Lavington are so smooth compared to most of the other tracks and the mower has always gone really well there. I had the fastest lap time all day on practice day and with no one to challenge me I was challenging my self trying to get every corner perfect and searching for that perfect lap and trying to get under 1 min 45 secs. On a shallow left hand corner going past the pits the right rear wheel dug into the ground and the mower spat me off at close to 40 mph. I hit the ground hard head first smashing my helmet. I could hear the mower barrel rolling behind me smashing into the ground and as I was face down on the ground the mower caught me up and hit me quite hard. Now as you can imagine I’m feeling a bit beaten up with a good few scrapes and bruises and also a mild headache which has only just gone. I decided it was best to not race today. I want to say thank you to those who rushed over to make sure I was ok and to everyone at mower madness for their concerns and well wishes. The mower didn’t suffer too bad the bonnet took quite a bit of damage and the steering wheel is written off but I did go back out after I crashed and set a fastest time of 1:44.177. We are back at Lavington in two weeks time for the last race of the year.

We had a great weekend racing with mower madness in what was my first race of the year. We took the win and had fastest laps both days (without cutting any corners 😂). Thanks to Jo for everything she does and to Jessie for being pretty well behaved all weekend. Thanks to Kevin Seymour for the help during the pit stop. Martin next in two weeks.
