Racing into 2021 with Carl Cox
Carl Cox shares his New Year message and looks forward to more motorsport next year.
“I’d just like to wish you all a Happy New Year, let’s get rid of 2020 and look forward to 2021!
Last year we had quite a bit of racing, even under these trying times, by our guys and girls that are still racing under the Carl Cox Motorsport banner. They did really well in the racing efforts they managed to compete in, including the V8 Supercars with Cam Waters.
I’ve got say ‘hi’ to my New Zealand counterparts Tracey and Steve Bryant for holding the fort there with everybody for the recent excellent Cemetry Circuit with ‘Flea’ and the rest of the Tri-Series, which was amazing!
I’ve got to say hi also to Tony Walker from Bruce Mclaren Motorsport Park for putting on such great events there and flying the flag there for motor racing in New Zealand. And also to Ken Dobson and Avalon Biddle for their efforts in keeping the Carl Cox Cup running for so many years, 10 years in fact!
We’re looking forward to NZSBK with Toby Summers, Avalon and our sidecar entries going in, with Stu and Barry Smith (who actually won the Championship series with the F1 sidecars) and Tracey and Jo racing who were runners up in F2 Tri- Series.
Also to Damo Rees and Shane Richardson for racing in the British Superbikes and Tom Bramich for racing for us in World Superbikes, in the Supersport 300 series. We even got some Classic Racing in at the start of 2020 with Davo Johnson, Deano and UK brother Michael and Ben Neeves!
So much was going on! But unfortunately I wasn’t able to race myself in my drag car, the Pro Mod. Because as soon as I got back from America to race, since the pandemic started there hasn’t been any racing. So, hopefully in 2021 you’ll get to see me out in the Pro Mod at the top end for sure battling with the best.
Next year we’ll look forward to hosting the London Motor Show in the UK under the support of Carl Cox Motorsports as well. So, all to look forward to in 2021 from me, my team, and congratulations to all our guys racing and putting the sidecars, solos and cars to the top.
We look forward to supporting Michael Dunlop for the future, Damo Rees, Conor Cummins with Clive Padgett racing, the list goes on.
If I’ve forgotten anyone else please forgive me, there are so many facets to the team. It’s crazy but true and we still continue to do what we do, even in these pandemic times. So a brilliant effort from everyone. Thanks for watching and supporting us out there and I hope that 2021 is much more favourable for our racing efforts into the future. From me Carl Cox, Happy New Year!
