IAN WATSON SPRING CUP OLIVERS MOUNT SCARBOROUGH
THE HARRISONS OUT IN FORCE FOR THE FIRST ROAD RACE OF THE YEAR
The 3 racing Harrisons were all in action at The Spring Cup
at Olivers Mount Scarborough. Dean racing in the Superbike and Supersport
classes, Conrad competing in the Sidecar event and Adrian in the Supersport and
Super Lightweight.
Dean was riding the works RC Express Kawasaki and his debut
on the Mar-Train Racing Yamaha R6. In the first superbike feature race Dean on
his RC Express Kawasaki ended the first lap in forth place behind Johnson,
Martin and Lintin. By lap 5 Dean had fought his way up to third behind Ivan
Lintin. Lap 6 saw Dean up to second finishing 4.189 seconds adrift of Guy
Martin on the Tyco Suzuki.
In the Supersport Race it was Dean’s debut for the Mar-Train
Racing teams Yamaha R6. Dean joined Mar-Train at the end of last season after campaigning
on the Ian Bell R6 for the previous 3 seasons. Joining Mar-Train is a major
step up in his career as they are current British Supersport Champions and probably
have potentially the best bikes on the grid. Dean qualified 6th for
the Supersport race and worked his way through to 2nd behind Guy
Martin with consistently quick lap times for his second podium of the day. In
the feature race of the day The Ian Watson Spring Cup Dean was in 4th
place at the approach to the Mere hairpin. By lap 3 Dean was in 3rd
place behind Ivan Lintin and struggling with a 3rd gear problem
falling back from Lintin but still finishing on the podium. All in all a good
days work from Dean with three podiums. This month sees Dean going to
Kirkistown testing with Mar-Train and then on to The Vauxhall International
2014 North West 200 between the 13th and 17th of May. At
the end of May is the Isle of Man TT races where all three Harrisons should be
competing in this prestigious event.
Adrian had a good weekend competing in the Super Lightweight
and Supersport races. In the Super Lightweight races Adrian on his Printing
Roller Services ER6 Kawasaki finished 6th in the first race and a
brilliant 5th in the second. In the Supersport category he had a credible
14th place finish on his new Honda CBR 600 which he will be using to
compete in the Supersport at the TT at the end of May.
Conrad Harrison and his passenger Lee Patterson came second
in the first sidecar race won by Ian & Carl Bell.
