As some may remember, I was asked to write an article a month by the Ulster Grand Prix, starting with the history of the event, up to the 2015 Grand Prix event coverage.
So....here is my first article (bear in mind I have a 750 word limit!)
Next instalment coming soon!!

Thanks guys! (thumbs)
The weather is the one thing that always plays havoc with, well, everything here; as I look out my work window to see lampposts straining to stay upright!
I really hope that for all the races this year, the weather is kind - a lot of them really need to be successful this year for their futures!

Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

TomBoy is right....once you've been to them, it affects your senses in such a profound way you will be back; you are so close to bikes travelling at nearly 200mph it's insane! Plus, things like the smell of race fuel, the new rubber....oh....I'm giving myself a "crisis"!! Ha ha! :laugh:
