I have prattled on about Howie enough times. He has struggled with brake and team problems all year in the BSB. His deal with Suzuki this year allowed him a wild card entry into the Suzuki GSXR cup at Donington this weekend. The GSXR cup is a one make series that supports the WSBK European rounds. He is 5th in the first qualifying session, next qualifying 5.10 our time Saturday. Race 3.20pm Sunday between the superbike races. He edges ever closer to the breakthrough that his dedication, talent and determined return from serious injuries deserves.
We can't be there this weekend, but will be watching on TV. GO HOWIE!!!!!!
