Name: Slane Maguire
Hometown: Kesh, Co. Fermanagh
First motorbike memory: Travelling in Convoy to the road racing with
my dad, Richard Britton, Willie Britton and Barry Maguire. (The good old days)
2019 racing class: We are still trying to get
something organised for 2019, but it’s looking like we might be competing in
the pre-injection class.
Favourite track: Eastfortune, Scotland
Best result: There are 2 wins that stick out in my
head:
1.
Coming from a distant 3rd on the last
lap, to take the win on the last corner at Mondello ahead of Jason Floody and
James Ging.
2.
The last race of the season against Damian
Horgan and Alan Smyth, were I managed to lead the race from start to finish.
Both races you couldn't have put a cigarette paper between
the 3 of us at every corner of every lap. Always good close racing among
friends in the 400 class.
Ambition or goal: My ambition was always to be a road
racing champion, but at the moment my goal is to just enjoy my racing and have
the craic with my racing family and team.
Advice for new competitors: Enjoy and the results
will follow
Motorcycle hero(s): My dad, Richard Britton &
Martin Finnegan
MotoGP v WSBK: World Superbike
Valentino or Casey: Valentino is the man
Money no object motorcycle: RS250 (I’d have to drop a
few pounds first though lol)
Fill in below what your plans are for this year including
people\sponsors, bike information and fundraising activities.
We have no concrete plans or sponsorship arranged for 2019
as of yet, but we are planning to be out as much as we can.
I’m toying with the idea of running a raffle or maybe
setting up a supporter's club, but it’s all just ideas at the moment. if we do
decide to go ahead with any of these fundraising plans, they will be announced
on our Facebook page (Slane Maguire Racing).
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who
helped me achieve my goal of winning the Dunlop masters lightweight 400 championship last
year.
