Hi Ian,
Well done old mate, a good years racing for you, you deserve it after all the previous problems. Look forward to another good year next year?
The official points will be posted up on the website tonight (all being well) so can everyone have a look and check that they are correct. Let me know of anything that looks suspicious!

PS Thanks to Alan for transforming my engine - even though there were some teething problems. Roll on next season.

Well done Ian,

You rode well all season and made it interesting for us following. As others have suggested, should be a good season next year.

Mike Powell will have to run his 125 as he has won the 175 Championship.
I understan dthere is a new machine under construction in the Smith camp, so Mick might be in more contention than 2008. Having follwed and studied Sam Partington I think we may well see the old order upset.......

Well done Tom, Mick and I suspect Pete Styles must have had a hand in it too!

Well done Ian
Can you do it next year as we really enjoyed The Pork Pie
Be nice to see your name on the pot
Robbie &Lou

Well done Ian good to see you win after all them years of not finishing a race most of the time i bet your glad you keeped try i think a few more people will try to keep up next season depending on engines lol and if we can stay on had great fun at cadwell thank everyone that helped me out at cadwell hope to get a tropie for 6th place see you all at the dinner and dance next year

Brilliant!! Ian well done! I think you have come of age, well thought out and good tactical rides at the end there? Looking forward to next season which is only half a year away now.... Are you going to tell everyone your other news?? Peter, i can ride Jimmy's bike/engine as you only have to ride a 125(in championship races to score points) after you have won the "Bantam Championship" on a 175! I finished second. There is only one bantam champion and thats Ian! I have the honour of being the first 175 home in the championship and the wobblyman trophy to boot! Alan you need to adjust my 175 table points to 316pts as scored 13 on my 125. I got Jimmy's 175 really flying by the end of the season so perhaps with a bit more work could get the thing to be the fastest bant around? watch this space.....

You are absolutely right Mike, you didnt win the Formula Bantam Championship, Ian did. So indeed carry on with Jimmy's 175.

Extreme humble pie because it was Mike and I who wrote the regs!
