On Saturday 31st of October I was racing at Croft for the last round of the Open Championship of the season. Although I was very ill, I still managed to finish 4th, which also meant I had gained another place overall in the championship and finally finished 4th overall in the Junior Rallycross Open Championship.
On the Sunday it was the 2009 Superprix, and I finished a respectable 3rd place. The weather was awful, as it was chucking it down with rain, so I was more than happy to finish in the top 3.
Next year I am planning to move up into Senior Rallycross, in the BTRDA Championship, as now I am old enough to compete in a bigger class.

Yesterday I was racing at Mallory Park, after Rallycross had a 30 year break from the track. The circuit was fantastic, although it cut up on the new loose surface, but once the it is sorted out I think it will be great Rallycross track in the middle of the country.
I managed to win my first Rallycross trophy, achieving 2nd place in the British championship Junior A final, which is supported by the Bill Gwynne Rallyschool. It was a excellent hassle-free weekend.

Over the summer I have had four meeting, two meetings at Blyton followed by double header at Pembrey. We also had a Fun Day at Blyton, which was an excellent, successful day. I am currently standing 5th in the championship although there is a dispute over points scored in round 5, which could put me up into 4th place. If this is the case, I am hoping that in the last round at Croft on the 31st October I will finish high enough to be able to finish 3rd overall in the Open Junior Rallycross Championship 2009.

During the Easter Holidays the Chris Birkbeck Junior Rallycross Open Championship competitors went to the Chris Birkbeck Rallyschool in Brotton for the first ever Rallycross Camp. It was a 3 day event with a 2 night stay. The competitors were divided into two teams, with our team consisting of myself, Keifer Hudson and Simon Quinn, the other team members included Conor Flynn, Brad Bailey, Sam Kinirons and Frankie Helliwell. The teams drove a range of vehicles including the Ford KA rally car, FIAT Panda Reverse Steer car, Chuckle Buggies, Quads, Blind Fold Driving in a Land Rover Discovery, and Karts.
The teams took part in seminars hosted by Tom Watson (Scrutineer), Bob Wright (Clerk of the Course), Bob Brown (part of the rescue team), and Ron Watson (Chairman of the MDA). Chris Birkbeck gave us advice on our driving skills, followed by a tour around the rally workshop. We had a table top rally, where we learnt some map skills if we wanted to navigate in the future, it also helped us to understand the perspective that co-drivers go through on rallies.
Through the duration of the camp there has been two teams competing against each other and collecting points. Our team (Kelly, Keifer and Simon) had been in the lead with the points all of the way through the camp, and finished the event by winning the Kart Sprint aswell.
Kelly Bird says, “I enjoyed this week as we all came together and got to know each other, I feel like my driving has improved and it has given my confidence in the seat.”
Keifer Hudson states “this has been a fantastic few days and well worth being part of.”
Simon says “I think the camp was good and it has given me brilliant confidence for Nutts Corner next week.”
