Mechanical Engineer for BriggsWhat am I riding:
Mostly forklifts
What have I done to it:
I'm the team mechanic I have to do the lot!
Strip them, fuel them, change their brakes, their wheels, the oil, create a new rearset, adjust suspension the list is endless.
This year (2009), Woby crashed twice, Nick once, Skip once, Lee snapped a chain... the list goes on..
Why am I doing this?
Are you kidding.. spend a weekend, scraping knuckles, covered in oil, with the scream of motorbikes in your head. Whats better?
Racing goals
Racing goal...hmmmm.... No matter what they do to them, that we are always able to piece them back together and send them out for more. If we get a piece of cheap tin at the end of the race its a bonus.

Made it through the 2009 Endurance season with a trophy, nuff said
