Hi Everyone,
Well what a very strange “off season”
2019/20 has been.
We hope you are all well, and that you and your loved ones have managed to stay safe.
Apologies for the lack of updates, even though we’ve all been on lockdown, we’ve all been really busy.
We have decided, as a Team, after a lot of deliberation, that we will not be taking part in the BSB events in 2020.
This is for a number of reasons, including several members of the team being at very high risk if they contract COVID. Also Aaron has bought his first house, that he is busy renovating with his girlfriend.
So the plans are to sit out the very short season this year, and we are hoping to be back in 2021, when things are a bit more “normal”. 😁

Today’s report in the Horncastle News.

Clarke’s Superstock 16th place at Donington Park Aaron Clarke rode well at Donington Park at the weekend and completed the penultimate round of the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 championship in a strong 16th position.

No signal (as usual) on race day, with so many fans attending. Aaron started the second race in p27, and finished in a very creditable 19th place, achieving another PB lap time along the way. This was even more impressive due to a total change of suspension settings from race 1. Thanks to all sponsors, friends and relatives who have helped along the way. Our next round is at Donington, as the Stock 1000’s are not competing at Assen.

Good morning from a beautiful sunny Oulton Park. The fans are starting to arrive, the weather forecast is great, so we are predicting a massive crowd today. With the action not starting til lunchtime, Aaron doesn’t have a warm up this morning. His race is at 14.55 and will be live on Eurosport.

A big thank you to Paul Thompson & Sherwood Pines Cycles for the donation of this fantastic MTB towards the silent auction. Lots of raffle prizes still to be won including a track day with tuition from Aaron.

Rain won’t stop play here at the Bardney Heritage Centre, we’ve set up inside, a few showers forecast later on 👍🏻👍🏻

Aaron has qualified in 19th place. Considering his lack of track time lately, that is a good result. 👌👌😁
Roll on “Race day” tomorrow, the Stock 1000 Race is scheduled for a 12 o’clock start, so it won’t be live on TV. Hopefully, it will be televised at some point during the Euro Sport broadcast. 🤞🤞😁

Qualifying for Aaron’s class is at 12.40 today, it’s 45 minutes long, as there was no FP2 yesterday. Tune in to the commentary via Live Timing or the BSB App. You can also listen via Alexa if you have one, enable Bennett’s British Super Bikes on Amazon 😁

Big Thanks for all involved in this 👌👌

Big thanks to Ollie Towl and my Beeton familia for organising the team wear 🤵🏻 only got out for FP1 today as the rain stopped play but it sure is good to be back 🤠 thanks to everyone who is making it possible 👍🏼

There will be no further action on track today, due to the weather conditions. Amended timetable for tomorrow

Ok, so Aaron was taking it steady during FP1, it was very wet, so didn’t push too hard. Happy to report Rider and Bike feeling ok, so we should see more progress during FP2.

Aaron completed FP1 in 20th place. No idea what’s happening as we aren’t there, more updates to follow......

It would be fantastic to see you all at our Fundraising Day! Some great raffle prizes up for grabs too!

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, sourcing the parts to repair the bike has taken far longer than expected. The new engine is now fitted, just waiting for another part and it should be all systems go!
Fingers crossed we can get it all done before Cadwell.
If all goes to plan the KCB MotorSport Team will be there, but at the moment it’s very doubtful that Kevin and myself will be there, as he is booked in to have his knee replacement surgery on the 10th of August, hopefully it won’t be cancelled at the last minute again.

Unfortunately Aaron won’t be on track for the rest of the weekend. The bike engine has developed a fault. Firstly rider/track safety is paramount and secondly we are hoping to avoid a situation where the engine isn’t fixable. We are all disappointed, but that’s the way it goes, sometimes.
Our next outing will be at WSB Donington. We are not going to Knockhill.

Team work makes the dream work 🙌🏼☺️
Qualifying session complete ✅ first round of the season at Silverstone on a stock 1000 and he’s qualified P23, absolute brilliant result. Putting in a time of 55.865, one place in front of Michael Rutter 🤭 teams working hard to get the bike ready for his first race of the season at 2:45pm, everyone tune into live timings and cheer on our Aaron #5.
If anyone wants to get involve in action first hand, contact us via Instagram, Facebook or Aaron himself 👍🏼

New hospitality set up, come say hi 👋🏼 and grab a brew ☺️

How are we liking the new look? 😍 It’s been a super long off season, but after all the preparation, he’s finally on the new bike testing out in Cartagena 👍🏼 For regular updates throughout this weeks testing and throughout the year, like our page and follow us on instagram 😁

All ready to go here at Cartagena! Track looks awesome can’t wait to get out and spin some laps!

Just before the first wheel of 2019 turns, I’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has helped me get to this point 😃 it’s been a flat out off season and there is still plenty to do ahead of Round 1, but we are getting there!

I’d like to say a massive thank you to my sponsors PS Higgins & Dee Rance, all A⚡️C Club500 members, all product sponsors and finally all of my A⚡️C Club50 members. Another special thanks to Kev & Clare, Mark and the Beeton’s and all my family for their constant support. You really are keeping the dream alight and I hope to do you all proud this season.

Keep an eye out on here and my instagram aaronclarke5 to see how the testing is going!
