Ulster Centre appoints Six Riders as Rider Liaison Officers |
|
 The Ulster Centre, Tarmac Committee, has appointed six riders as ‘Rider Liaison Officers’ for 2009.
The six riders appointed are:
- Norman Dunbar,
- from Portglenone, who competes mainly in the Senior Clubmans class at short circuit events. Norman has also acted as a sponsor at short circuit events and has some very positive ideas for the improvement of Clubman’s racing.
- Ryan Farquhar,
- the multiple Irish Road Race Champion from Killyman near Dungannon. Ryan is well versed in Ulster Centre matters having previously been a delegate of the Dungannon club and a member of the Roads Inspection Committee.
- Darren Gilpin,
- from Galgorm, Ballymena who has played an instrumental role in the development of the new Super twins Championship at both Road Race and Short Circuit events.
- Kirk Jamison,
- from Newtownards, who led the ‘ISB riders’ initiative in 2008 to improve awareness of the Irish Superbike Short Circuit Championship. Kirk has also been a regular contributor of ideas to the Centre and pressed hard for the return of the Ulster Centre Short Circuit championships in 2009.
- James McCann,
- from Ballymoney, a relative newcomer to the sport who has quickly moved up through the Support Classes into the Senior Classes at Road Races.
- Baylon McCaughey,
- from Cookstown. A keen supporter of riders in Clubmans Racing and the Support Classes at Road Races, Baylon still has the occasional race outing himself. He also finds time to contribute to the Co Tyrone press and run his own website on Irish racing.
Commenting on the appointment of the riders, Ivan Davidson, Convenor and Press Officer for the Ulster Centre Tarmac Committee said,
“The appointment of the six riders to act as liaison officers was an idea suggested during a recent meeting with the riders who responded to a questionnaire we issued last year to seek ideas to develop the sport.
“Hopefully, their appointment will help to bridge the gap that competitors perceive to exist between them and Senior Centre Officials. We are confident that by working together we will be able to effect major improvements in our sport over the next few years”.
