The start to the 2010 Season didn't go as well as was expected

after we lost a fellow racer (and friend) Simon Exton, read the full report here.....

 

 

Simon Exton 1957-2010

I met Simon through the motoforum in 2008 when I was thinking of joining BEMSEE and the F400 clan. He quickly became a wealth of information to a complete novice and no matter how stupid the questions, he still answered them in complete honesty, making the decision to race and how to get on the grid that much easier. I met him and Max in person at the rookie evening before the 2009 season and once again he offered his advice and experience without expecting anything in return.

During my rookie season he continued to help out with advice on bike preparation, training regimes and racing lines, even allowing me to follow him for a few laps to learn the lines/braking points.

I managed to get the better of him at Cadwell for three of the four races and thoroughly enjoyed our on track battle. Afterwards when he congratulated me I'm pretty certain that despite me finishing in front of him he was quite proud that I'd listened to his advice and put it into practice (well, at least I hope so!) I got to know Max a little better too, with him offering advice and mechanical expertise as freeley as his dad (although not as early, as Max didn't like to get up much before 10 most mornings!)

At Snetterton Simon was like a kid with a new toy (despite it not working most of the time!) and Max was by his side helping dad fix it. Despite having major mechanical issues himself, he'd already offered to help me with a brake issue I had at the time..... unfortunately a couple of hours later Simon was involved in a horrific startline incident and lost his life.

We all appreciate bike racing produces amazing highs, but all too often it produces incredible lows. It's been said many times that Simon died doing what he loved, and hopefully there is at least some consulation in knowing that he died living his dream.

To Max, Suzi and the rest of the Exton family, we offer our deepest sympathy and our thoughts are with you. If there is anything we can do to help, you only have to ask....

Chris, Nic, Daniel, James, Oli, Steve, Josh & Charlie.
