Pedstop BSSO 2010 Championship Winners

We're delighted to announce that the Pedstop Race Team have emerged victorious in this year's BSSO scooter championship. What started out with us playing around with a Piaggio Zip quickly saw us getting into racing and on a tour of circuits throughout the country. By and large it's thanks to Polini that this was made possible when they donated one of their Big Evolution engines for us to test, not forgetting of course 16 year old Josh Brown who went from strength to strength with his formidable riding skills out there on the track despite all the obstacles. It's great to know that with our feedback and testing we've also been able to assist Polini in their developments along the way.

In Round 6 at Cadwell there seemed to be no stopping Josh who managed to blitz the opposition and secure a first place win with a massive ten second lead in the first race, this was followed by another win in race two. And despite starting at the back of the grid in the final round at Three Sisters, Josh managed to work his way through the field and go on to win this year's BSSO Championship. Dominating the track looked easy in the final race despite some close competition all the way to the end. You can read all about the final round here.
