AFB Racing

AFB Racing

We have been involved with short circuit road racing for some years now and in that time prepared Harley's, Triumph's, Yamaha and top fuel Harley drag racers.

I first got involved with motor sport during the early 90's as team mechanic for the Redkir Redskins competing in Harley-Davidson's 883 Sportster championship. The team took runner up spot in 92 and won the championship in 93. We also had the opportunity to race at Daytona and finished a respectable 6th out of 80!

More recently I was approached by local rider and very good friend, Chris Pope, to offer sponsorship with his Yamaha R1, he was then competing in the New Era Pro Bike championship. After several near death experiences on the road it seemed like a good idea!. After a major in race engine failure we stepped up the support by way of a new bike, Chris has gone on to develop the bike into quite a formidable package.

Chris during our 2006 campaign managed 2nd spot overall losing out by just 12 points on the championship.

2007 was a year we would rather forget, hampered with technical issues and bad luck the whole year was a bit of a wash out. That's racing!

2008 This year we were having a crack at North Gloucester Road Racing. After a turbulent start to the season blowing 2 motors we settled in to finish overall 5th.

2009 We raced again with NG and bagged a pair of 4th spots in both their Power bike and open championships.

New for 2010 we have Yamahas much acclaimed R1  with cross plane crank. seeing them win just about every major event in 2009 we thought we must have some of that action!

We are always glad to receive visitors at race meeting so come and find us and enjoy our hospitality.

ROUND 1 & 2  Brands Hatch

Well our start to this season was as always last minuet, after and engine failure on the dyno a week prior to race day and no track time on the new bike we knew it was going to be difficult and it was!

Chris crashed during free practise in the wet whilst running second fastest at that point and damaged the wet bike beyond repair, so we were down to just the new bike and we struggled to find set up and sadly lacked pace all weekend, by the end of the weekend Chris was still half a second off his normal pace and subsequently we left the Kentish circuit not even on the score board! this new Yamaha is gonna take some mastering!!

 
 

Jason Kasch Award

Chris won the Jason Kasch award this year for achievement in the Open championship. the award is supported by the parents of Jason who sadly lost his life at Castle Combe and have done so since his passing. Many thanks to both John & Marie for thier genirosity.
