Well I wasn't expecting that to happen.

Phil,

Good write up and well done for this year, maybe you should take up classic racing, Denis Gallagher is still doing it at 73!!!!!

Another to dice with in Class A next year.

Superb summary, nice video and a just championship victory.

Kept it all together when it mattered and just aggressive enough to win the day. Bloody well done fella!

Excellent work Phil, and the bike was looking ace as usual. A graph of your results would surely have predicted a series win; it would plot a straight line, 2008 19th...2009 12th...2010 6th to 2011 1st.

I've never started anywhere except the back row of the grid, so was pleased to see I'd qualified to the next row up, then shocked to see it was actually 2nd row from the front, not the back... definitely the highlight of my 3 races meets to date. Roll on 2012

I was watching a few of your laps on Friday practice. You went well in damp qually so just a case of working on you and the bike next season. Keeping it on the blackstuff is a pre-requisite tho'.

For those who want a ride around Oulton, this was race 1. Kev Palmer passes me about 8 mins in. At about 10 mins I pass Ron Jolley, only for him to get me back. Then manage the same place pass on him again & held it to the flag.
