Novice Passenger Looking For Rides

Hi everyone, I have had a read through a selection of threads and want to be thorough in what it is I’m looking for and what I have to offer.

I’m a novice looking for regular rides to gain experience in being a passenger. I have my ACU licence. I have been a passenger before for a gent called Simon Kilburn (that name might be a blast from the past for some). He was selling his outfit after rebuilding it from a crash and needed a passenger. I was a cocky 17yr old at the time and snapped up the chance. I loved it and have been promising myself id get involved. Well a few (ahem more than a few years) have passed and I’m now 33 looking to start up where I left off.

I live in Ashford, Kent, have my own transport including the ability to tow and drive HGV’s. I’m prepared to travel any distance, more than prepared to contribute to costs and get involved with any requirements away from the race circuit. I normally only work Mon-Fri so most weekends are pretty free unless the wife has booked anything in.

I have knowledge of most UK tracks from a car and some bike perspective. If I haven’t ridden of driven the track I probably have been there when I was spannering for a team in Stock Hatch Rallycross or Time Attack.

I consider myself a dab hand with a spanner and enjoy the more technical side of things, crunching data, settings, analysing information.
My best asset is I’m quite possibly the best at cooking on a BBQ.

I should add I have all my own kit, leathers, helmet, Gloves, back protector, boots etc and ready to rock and roll.

Please feel free to contact me via Emial: john-lewis1984@hotmail.com or Tel:07985 771683 (My signal is rubbish at work so if you drop me a whatsapp/text i will call you back.

I have my first ride lined up for this weekend at Mallory Park and am really looking forward to it.

I did have a ride lined up for the Cadwell Bonanza at the end of October but unfortunately that fell through so im currently still available for these dates.
