How it all began
Phil started in racing by following his dad at motocross meetings all over the country. At the age of 16, Phill being old enough to compete at adult motocross started out on a 125 Suzuki. This opened the door to a motocross career that after a move up to 250 Honda's included no less than four championships and countless race wins over the next four year. After competing in his first national events, and scoring enough points in 1993 to acquire his expert license, his bikes and gear were stolen.After taking a couple of years off, the urge to go road racing became stronger. After competing in a couple of meetings on the bike he rode to work he decided to embark on his road-racing career.
A Suzuki RGV250 race bike was purchased, and an attack on the New Era club's Formula 400 championship and Superclub championship began. After an excellent season that brought a number of victories and the club championship, and runner-up spot in the Superclub championship he was hooked.
Looking forward to 2003
So, with 2003 already upon us, I'm deep in preparation towards, what I hope will be an excellent year. I will once again be competing in the MRO 250 GP class, with hopefully, if I can obtain some help, some European championship rounds too. The bike has been completely stripped and prepared for the new season and the riders in training! When I've been out training, with my Motocross bike, my wrist has given me no problems at all. With my bad luck out of the way from last year, I can't wait for the first round.
