On the news, Jack said:
I am excited to announce to have secured a Wild Card entry at Daytona for Round 1 of the American Flat Track championship (AFT)
After a very successful trip last time around in the USA at the Winter Throwdown, I am really looking forward to join again the Pearson Race Team on board the Triumph TF450RC. With the help of DandD Cycles, we are making this American dream a reality.
Racing at Callahan Speedway in January gave me a good indication of what to expect from the competition and the bike over there. Myself and my mechanic John worked really well together to get the best out of myself and the bike.
We have already done a lot of development on the Triumph andI’m excited to see what else we can learn together.
To make it to the actual event was not an easy task as I had to meet the AFT requirements on race safety regulations.
So thanks to DRC for a beautiful tailored fit leather suit.
Thanks to MotoGear and Aveland Electrical for helping with the purchase of my Airbag suit.
Thanks to Bell Helmets for the full face safety helmet.
And , Of course thanks to all my sponsors for making this trip possible, this is a very special event for me.
More than anything I am going to enjoy this experience and be grateful for the opportunities I have been given.
