George Piper --out Of U15's After Engine Blow Up ?

[Main Man]

Had a text yesterday off Steve Piper, George's dad. He has been riding at Stoke under the guidance of Phil Morris for two days and Whizzer had him flying and from what Steve says George was going the best he had ever seen him.

Then his engine blew big time going into the third turn and he took a nasty tumble ( like a rag doll was what I was told) but he is okay with just cuts and bruises.

But the engine is a complete write-off. This means that every engine he has have blown up in recent weeks and he now has none left to race on.

He has the chance to buy an engine but needs some sponsorship towards it. If he cannot raise the £1000 he requires he looks like missing the first few rounds of the under 15 championship and will have to sit part of the season out and naturally he is gutted at the thought of this,

His dad has been off work long term with a knee problem and cannot afford to pay out for another engine. George and Steve have been talking to a few sponsors to raise the necessary amount but if anyone out there wants to help him towards it they can e-mail me at : laurencerogers@ic24.net and I will pass on your details.

 

To anyone who can help --a BIG thank you from George !!

To update the situation --- Steve's good lady Rachel has so far manged to raise half the engine money in sponsorship but is trying to get together some extra to cover the balance on his kevlars above what he received from his sponsors and a bill for £111 from Interspan he needs to settle.

George has been kindly loaned one of Ollie Gay's bikes today for the 2nd day of the Phil Morris session.

George would like to thank Brian and Ollie Gay for their much valued help.
