Andy that is bad news but as has been said you have been wonderful for the series and a true champion.

Have you searched for a carbon valve though? Lighter and will look far cooler......

[Gbyte666]

Wow, to have raced with that in the back of your mind must have been hard which makes your Championship Win even more special. What a way to finish Andy. Good luck with the opp and I look forward to seeing you again at the Dinner Dance.

Andy's weekend trophies, good luck with the op I am sure we will be kept updated

[harriebird]

good luck with the op Andy lucky that you were able to get it diagnosed and are getting the appropriate treatment.

my neighbour had a similar problem and similar op a couple of years ago, being a marathon runner and a similar age to you, he couldnt understand why he was suddenly out of breath where he was normally still going strong so also did the sensible thing. he has made a great recovery, the health of his heart otherwise and his general good health and fitness levels sped up the recovery no end.

not a bad record to bow out with now really is it

all the best and congratulations again on your championship win this year

[deej]

wow,fair shout to you

good luck with the operation and enjoy that new road bike

[rossco572]

Andy. You are and will remain a legend as has been said a faster fella and nicer bloke one couldnt wish to meet!

Good Luck.

'Who's the fast guy on the SS without the lights then?' That was my first impression of the new guy Andy in 06? I think.

You have always been consistent Andy, in person and in race or track mode, always having a good time. I'm glad I kept about half a season in front of you over the years, to save you kicking my ass. You, Trace and your Dad have always been great supporters of DD and brought the best 'fan base' to every round. I remember chatting to your Dad about his sidecar days and him telling me how 'wild' my regular last corner Oulton pk lines were that day!

Thanks for adding everything you have to the DSC and DD, (DJ-ing at trackdays wtf?) and just goes to show, you get what you give!!

I could blame you for my Snetterton 'incident', (I was too busy looking behind to look in front of me maybe?) But I won't!

Look after you insides buddy, your heart is just asking you to stop the swimming maybe? Glad you caught it early too.

You all have bikes and beds in Aus anytime.

Cheers

My Dad used to say 'look at how hard he's trying, he's on the grass at the exit of the corners.......'

100% doesnt come into it, you gave 110% everytime.

Might take you up on the Oz thing one day, never been but got loads of family out there.
