The season started for Davy Morgan Racing at Scarborough and the Ian Watson Spring Cup meeting so Davy, Robert, Jim and Maurice headed to the east coast of England with the D&GW/DM#71RRSC 250cc Honda and CSC Racing R6 Yamaha on board. The CMS ER6 Kawasaki Supertwin and Tony was to meet them there so it was going to be a busy day.

In freezing cold (complete with hailstones) and wet conditions practice and qualifying was difficult enough although Davy did work hard to get both the ER6 Kawasaki and 250 Honda on the second row of the grid, but a big moment on the R6 Yamaha meant that he would start at the back of the grid in that one.

Racing was eventful to say the least, Davy was too keen to get the D&GW/DM#71RRSC 250cc Honda of the line and damaged the clutch which meant retirement at the end of the opening lap. It was much better in the first Supersport Leg as he fought through from the back of the grid to finish sixth on the CSC Racing Yamaha and lap only 0.6 second off the fastest lap of the race. The CMS ER6 Supertwin was feeling good and again lap times were good, but with a small gearbox problem Davy decided to retire at the end of the third lap while lying fourth to protect the machine.

With two bikes out of action and the meeting running late due to weather delays the team decided they were not going to achieve anything more, so it was decided to pack up and head down the road for the boat, collecting a set of the new Scott Leathers along the way.

Speaking on his return home Davy commented: “It was a bit frustrating with the weather and breakdowns, but I did get a good run on all three bikes during the day so I am happy enough. I completely rebuilt the 250 over the winter, but did not replace the clutch as it looked okay, but I knew I was in trouble off the start. I was really pleased with how the CSC Yamaha was going and I really enjoyed the run. The ER6 would not change cleanly between 1st and 2nd gears so I decided not to risk damaging it and let Tony get it sorted for Cookstown. We collected one of our new set of leathers from Scott on the way home so we are now ready and looking forward to Cookstown.

Thanks to everyone who sponsoring and supporting in 2012, it is very much appreciated and I just hope I can give you all something to cheer about. See you at Cookstown.”
