| Barry Wood Plans Hectic
2001 Campaign
|
|
Manx rider Barry Wood is planning to take in more
races than ever in 2001 on modern day machinery and classic bikes.
He
will ride a 250 Dennis Trollope Yamaha at the TT in the Lightweight and Senior
races. He also hopes to have use of the machine at the Southern 100 in July.
Barry will be hoping for a better TT campaign this year after last years
meeting was ruined for him with various mechanical problems.
On the
Classic scene, the popular rider will defend his crown in the 250 Lightweight
Manx Grand Prix, which he has won for the last two years. He will again ride
Dicky Watson's immaculate 250 Suzuki. John Turner will be providing the sweet
sounding 500 Honda again for the Junior Classic and Barry will also ride the
machines at the Pre TT Classic meeting as well as a 350 Honda also provided by
Turner.
The team will be once again making their annual pilgrimage to
the famous Skerries 100 in July where he plans to ride in the 250 Junior race
as well as the Classic. This season, he hopes to take in several more Irish
Road Races, depending on time and the all-important budget.
All in all a
hectic season for the self confessed TT fanatic from Willaston and with what
looks like the right machinery underneath him, Barry could be in for a very
successful 2001.
