Video - Project Zip: BSSO Round 7 - Three Sisters

Our Project Zip saga came to a close in the final showdown in this year's BSSO series which took place at Three Sisters earlier this month. Josh's crash in the previous round at Cadwell Park meant that he had to start at the back of the grid. Despite this he managed to work his way through the field overtaking the opposition including the likes of the big cc classic scooter riders in true David and Goliath style. Josh finished first in his class but judging by the way he raced finishing first overall was the only thing on his mind. Zack Tingle also put in a good performance but he's had some bad luck this year, a crash in lap four took away his chance of finishing the race.

After the early morning mist disappeared and the racing got underway it was frantic action from the start with riders putting in their best performance in order to claim those championship points and for some, victory in the 2010 series:



The final race of the BSSO 2010 series was the icing on the cake. The Three Sisters circuit had its fair share of racing talent but the power of Polini was on our side and Josh managed to claim victory with a superb first place win. Josh was closely followed by Young Gun Joe Ravenscroft who appeared to pull some serious racing skills out of the bag towards the end of the series. Meanwhile, DNF's seem to have been the theme of the year for Pedstop rider Zack Tingle who, unless we're mistaken, has yet to finish a race! Better luck next time Zack. All in all a successful first year of racing for the Adrenalin Pedstop crew and a memorable one too.

Project Zip: Cadwell Results

It's been a busy week here at Adrenalin HQ with little time to spare to tell you all about how last weekend's racing went at Cadwell Park. So how did it go? Well after fairly lengthy delays on the track in the first race on day one Josh Brown managed to secure a first place win with a massive ten second lead. Due to a number of delays on the track with riders waiting for a prolonged length of time at the start line, the race was reduced to just three laps. At one point in the race Josh was that much in front he looked behind him no doubt wondering if the race had been stopped as there were no other riders to be seen. It was business as usual for Josh in the second race too with another win. Racing on the full circuit (2.173 miles) Josh mustered up some quick lap times, with 2:00.61 being his best lap time at Cadwell on day one.

Even though he won, Josh's Zip glided over the finish line at the end of race two, the Zip blew an O-ring and upon closer inspection the cylinder head was damaged which led to an engine swap to ensure that things went smoothly before racing commenced on day two. In contrast to Saturday's racing which was mostly bright and sunny, the track at Cadwell was very wet and slippery on day two which led to a number of riders coming off including Josh. With riders waiting in their grid positions at the start line, the first race ended up being cancelled after a fuel spill which rendered the track unsafe. This caused lengthy delays. In the second race Josh was really going for it in the wet, Josh came off and this puts him at the back of the grid in the next round.

Meanwhile, it was trials and tribulations for fellow Pedstop rider Zack Tingle who was unable to actually complete a race over the whole weekend due to technical problems. Hopefully he'll have more luck in the next round.

The 2010 BSSO series comes to a close end this weekend, the final round takes place tomorrow at Three Sisters. Some of you may recall Josh's blistering performance there back in May when he won all four races and set a new track record. We're expecting good things at Three Sisters but as we all know, anything can happen in racing. Who will win the championship?!

Project Zip - BSSO Round 2: Three Sisters

Our Polini project continues, now you can watch the highlights from our recent trip to Wigan in the latest episode of Project Zip:

Four race victory for Josh Brown at Three Sisters

The second round of this year's BSSO Championship took place last weekend on 08/09 May at the Three Sisters race track in Wigan. Both days went really well especially for Josh who won all four races. Not only that he broke the lap record which he held from last year but that was on a 77cc, this time our Polini Evolution 3 70cc engine gave him the muscle he needed on the track. Meanwhile, Sam successfully completed and won the Young Guns class and is getting quicker every race. Apart from injuring his knee after an off on day one, Zack did really well too bearing in mind that this was only his fourth race meeting. He appears to be getting to grips with the set up of the bike and is bringing lap times down every lap and coming in mid-pack. We can see Zack in the top three within the next meeting or two.

Day 1:

Day 2: In race three Josh completed a lap of the circuit in 1:02.05 setting a new track record. Observe how he achieved this in lap four:

Bizarrely Josh's quickest lap was identical (1:02.05) in the last race as was his top speed - 54.08mph which goes to show his consistency out there on the track:

BSSO Championship 2010. Round 1: Mallory Park

The first round of this year's BSSO scooter racing championship took place at Mallory Park in Leicestershire on 5th April. We were there of course along with our race team: the Zen-like Josh Brown, young gun Sam Edwards and Zack Tingle, the latest talent to join the team (more about Zack later).

Thankfully the conditions were a little warmer (no frost!) this time at Mallory although it remained overcast and windy throughout the day. Our racing Zips performed well with Josh, Sam and Zack putting in a good effort on the track. Technical problems in the second race led to Josh pulling out early unfortunately, but in the first race he managed to complete 8 laps around the circuit finishing in second place despite the fact that he wasn't on top form at this meeting due to sickness.

At this stage, we know the best is yet to come from our riders and our machines - watch this space! In the meantime sit back and watch the action unfold in our video as Josh battles for first place in Race 1 at Mallory Park:
