Some call him a veteran in motorcycle racing, while others see him as an inspiration to younger riders. Adrian Blake has graced the championship podium and satisfied his fans with his superb racing technique, using his years of experience to remain a dominant force.

Defending his 2010 Dover motorcycle championship and Time Attack Series titles, Blake and his 2007 Honda CBR 600 RR are gunning for victory once again on today’s Labour Day programme, with his new sponsor, Michi Supermarket, on board.

Blake will be representing Jamaica in the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) for the first time.

With the curves and turns of the 1.6-mile Dover racing circuit, correct riding techniques are essential in keeping your body off the tarmac.

He has been racing at Dover for six years and welcomes the splitting motorcycle category –Class A for experts and Class B for the novices or new entrants.

Another racer Peter Jaggon started racing at Dover in 2007 with his trademark, orange and green, Honda CRX and has since copped meet champion titles on three occasions.

In 2008, the 46-year-old, IGL sponsored driver held both IP33 champion and MP2 champion.

While not participating in this season’s CMRC races, Jaggon will still display his driving skills at the Caribbean Invasion on Labour Day, in local races.

Tedroy Burton, owner of the front-wheel-drive Dover track record, has his sights set on reducing the 1.25 seconds he established.

He started in the sport some ten years ago doing drag racing and now competes at Dover raceway in the MP3 and IP 27 classes.

The MAD Camp driver won the MP3 class last year and although not competing in the CMRC has lowering his Dover record in his plans for this year.

One of the two-driver CRC Racing, Raymond Donaldson has made his mark at Dover by dominating the IP45 racing class in his NCB sponsored Mitsubishi Evolution 4.

After topping his class, meet after meet, Donaldson graduated to the B37 racing class, winning the championship title for 2010.

The other CRC member, Charles Maxwell, can be remembered from his televised debut into circuit racing on the Jamspeed Adrenaline Rush Series, which he won, and was, in 2008, heralded into circuit racing by Christopher ‘Teach’ McPharlane.

Maxwell started his motor sports career drag racing at Vernamfield before rally racing with the Jamaica Millennium Motor Racing Club (JMMC).

He was victorious in 2010 and was named JC2 class champion.
