Since Andy started racing back in the Winter of 2000, the team has enjoyed its fair slice of success. The most notable are the x3 consecutive summer championship wins in 2008 2009 and 2010, and the two British winter titles Andy held in the Winters of 2002 and 2005.
Apart from that, there have been many hidden success stories that have gone un-noticed. Like Starting 13th at Milton Keynes in 2005, and coming back to finish 3rd behind only Danny Thornton and James Bushell. And helping to revive the sports class in 2003, and the 2 stroke runabout class more recently.
The main thing is the enjoyment we have had over the years. The places we have travelled and the sights we have seen. The good times in racing have been incredible. Long may it last.
The most dissapointing thing in Andy's racing career is never competing in Europe or the World Finals. The lack of time and money have made that the way it is. Also breaking each leg racing, the left at Stockton in 2002, and the right at American Adventure in 2004 go down as some of the real lows so far. Anyway, below are the highs!
