2010, was one of the hardest years with the lose of  our dear friend Richard Mahaffy, who was our mechanic for over tens years, we all miss him so much. The racing year started of with Cookstown, which did not go very well although we were first in the supertwins B race, which did let us come home with a trophy and a cheque. A few weeks later we then went to the Bush Road Races, which turned out very unsuccessful, with the bike not being on form. A few months later it was the time of the Manx Grand Prix, which we have been trying to get over too for a few years but this year we just decided to do it. It was a very long time to be away but we did get very good qualifying times in the practices and then in the races, yet again the bike did not perform well. It was not the most successful of years but we are hoping to do better in the incoming year, in which we are hoping to complete all the Ulster rounds. We also  had young Lyons (Sam) racing this year, who competed in three championships, which he finished in second, fourth and sixth place and also has a lot of trophy’s to show for it. He will be competing in 2011 in the 65 Cadet class. Thank you too all who helped throughout the year, Bernard Smyth, GSMCC Ballynahinch, All graphix, Kevin Horner Building and Joinery, PJ Campbell electrical contractor, Scotts of Hillsborough and CDW homes and Michele and Davy for all there help and organizing the supporters club.
