At the Davy Morgan #71 Supporters Club Dinner Dance Davy Morgan announced that he was to have the continued support of Trevor Matthewson - Strangford Holiday Park and Steve & Chris Caffyn - CSC Racing. Its a welcome announcement in these difficult times as Davy can now move forward with his plans for 2012.

Speaking about next season an optimistic Davy commented; "The 2011 Road Racing Season has come to an end and we take on-board all that we have learned and look forward to 2012 with anticipation, excitement and optimism with its new set of challenges and targets. 2011 was a frustrating season for me at times, especially at the International events which were affected badly by poor weather and machinery issues. As a top road racer you tend to look at these events closer than any others and think that because they did not go well then the season did not go well. That is certainly not the case in 2011 as I had my biggest ever haul of podiums and top ten finishes across Ireland, UK and Europe, with the highlight probably being Skerries in July were I had four top six finishes from four starts including three podiums.

I am really looking forward to racing on the roads across Ireland and the UK in 2012 and have a personal optimism that comes from the knowledge that I have another good season behind me, good bikes under me and also the fact that I will be working with pretty much the same team for a fourth successive year further enhances that optimism. 2012 cannot come quickly enough and over the winter I intend to work hard to raise the required budget and trade support to run the team competitively and train hard to get myself in the best physical shape possible. This finance, support and conditioning are all major requirements alongside with my riding ability to be on the leader-boards in this highly competitive and demanding sport….I certainly will be doing everything within my power to ensure I won’t come up short in any of them!"

In 2012 I am pleased that i will again be riding under the banner of CSC / Strangford Holiday Park Racing and wish to thank both Steve (Caffyn) and Trevor (Matthewson) for their continued support and the use of their excellent machinery. At this moment the plans for 2012 have already begun and we will be updating and refreshing the CSC Supersport R6 Yamaha, Strangford Holiday Park Superbike GSXR1000cc Suzuki & my own 1000cc Superstock BMW and 250cc Honda. I would also like to get involved in the Supertwin class at some stage, to allow me to compete in this new, exciting and expanding class at National and International Level.

We are actively looking for title sponsors to join the team for both the 250cc Honda which will be run at most Irish & UK National Road Races and the 1000cc BMW that will be run at the International Road Races and we really do need other personal sponsors to join the team and help with the general costs of running a professional Road Race Team at the sharp end of the grid, including: fuel, tyres, oil, race parts, entry fees, transport costs, etc. We will be taking part in as many National & International Road races across Ireland, Isle of Man and UK that the finances raised will allow.

My sincere thanks go out to all my loyal sponsors and friends who kept we on track in 2011 and look forward to adding some sponsors and friends for 2012 who would become part of a team in the most exhilarating sport on the planet in what potentially could be another successful season for Davy Morgan Racing. Although no one can guarantee success in this sport anyone who is already involved or looking to get involved can be assured that there will be no lack of effort, commitment and professionalism from myself or any member of the team in achieving success.

For 2012 the “Davy Morgan #71 Road Racing Supporters Club” will continue their support, this club is made up and run by my friends and supporters with the sole purpose of providing me with some much needed financial support towards my racing costs, and they are always looking for new members. The DM#71RRSC and myself will also continue in to a fourth year of support for “Action Cancer” and hope to add to the £9000 we have already raised as we continue to sell our Pink Helmet Pin Badges, including a new one for 2012.

Finally to my loyal supporters, I can only assure you all that it is my determined intention and desire to give you plenty to cheer and enjoy in 2012…
