The Team
|

Simon Otterson Chief Mechanic
From Sandholes, near Cookstown, Simon is a Project Engineer for local engineering firm, Simon has been involved with motorcycles for a long time.
Over the past few years he has helped John prepare the bikes, “ there is so much preparation required for race bikes these days, I am nearly a full time mechanic with john!”
Theres nothing Simon enjoys, than a few jars after the race is over, and he fully deserves it, as the amount of work put in, could never be repaid!

George Davidson, Team Sponsor
Another Sandholes man, and no stranger to motorcycle racing, has travelled across the world following the sport, as well as supporting riders. Probably his first involvement in sponsorship was in an early Joey Dunlop supporters club in Cookstown , many years ago!.
Since then George has backed Stephen Cull, anyone who remembers Cull winning the North West 200 on the Rotax!, well, George was involved with that bike!, In recent years, George backed the late Gary Jess, before helping out with John. “It was Johns professional approach to the sport, along with his personality, that led me to helping John” quipped the owner of Davison Space Rentals |

David Campbell Team Sponsor
David is the owner of well known Audio Visual shop in Dungannon, known as Kronos Hi Fi, has been looking after Johns sponsorship interests for the past few years, and I am sure you will agree, that this year, David has done a superb job in securing the much needed backing.
David, is also on the committee of the Dungannon and District MCC, which are responsible for the Bush Road Races. |

Steven Greaves
Now living in Cookstown, Stephen, an Engineering Manager with Fintech Engineering , Ballygawley, and is another of the unpaid volunteers who just loves to much in, and do what ever is needed to keep the show on the road. If it wasn’t for these guys, with all their help, road racing would be a poorer sport |

Raymond Davidson
Another Sandholes man, albeit no relation to George!, Raymond is co partner in Countryside Mangement, Every team needs a character!, and Raymond certainly fits the bill, but don’t let that put you off, he is dedicated in every way, from arriving at the race track, till the last item is put away, Then its back to his work, till the next weekend, and you can be sure Raymond will be the first to arrive! |

Wayne Acheson is on board the Burrows Race Team, thanks to being at the wrong end of a bet at a Skiing trip with Burrows and Co!.
No doubt it was John who came of best in two ways here, not only winning the Bet, but gaining a sponsor!
