--UPDATE--
As of April 2004 I am now racing on Comer W60 with Head 2 Head
Motorsport
I am currently racing this season (2004) in the Comer S60 Formula
Cadet Class in two seperate championships at Three
Sisters Racetrack and Glan-Y-Gors Park, and I aim to go National in the
MSA British Championship & Super 1 Comer W60
Series in 2005 season.
LATEST:
CRABTREE 4TH AT THREE
SISTERS MAY 2004 ( COMER W60 / TONY KART)
After his
terrible crash at Glan-Y-Gors in march which required a helicopter
airlift, Luke bounced back with a great race weekend at Three Sisters
in May. Thanks to Nick Abbot at Head 2 Head for providing the new Tony
Kart chassis and engine assembly. It was a fantastic race weekend
seeing some great battles between McGuire, Isherwood and Crabtree. The
Top three slots were well and truly ruled by Murphy, Warburton and
Tunnicliffe, With Tunnicliffe setting a new W60 three sisters track
lap record with 47.739, Luke's best time of the day 48.435.
Thanks to everyone for all the support after Luke's crash in Wales.
CRABTREE 2nd AT
GLAN-Y-GORS PARK (21st MARCH 2004)
After
struggling to make the pace on Saturday practice with some of the
worst weather in karting history over the weekend, Luke managed a very
nice 2nd in the Comer S60 final on Sunday. A disappointing last place
in heat 1 after being shunted off at spoon, and a fourth in the second
heat left Luke in 12th position for the final grid. After a brilliant
first couple of laps and managing to avoid any trouble Luke soon
nipped through the field into third place. Dizyra and Longley were
leading comfortably and had managed to create a fantastic cushion
between 2nd and third place. Luke hung in and slowly chipped them down
although the final had been shortened to 10 laps due to the excessive
weather. On the start of the last lap Dizyra and Longley had it in the
bag but unfortunately for Ryan he over leaned his carb and blew on the
last lap !! Luke strolled past and laughed his way into a well earned
second place.
CRABTREE LEADS S60
FINAL FOR TEN LAPS AT THREE SISTERS (Feb 2004)
After a nightmare in the first heat and a straight win in the
second, Luke was in fourth place on the grid for the final. A great
rolling and start and a tussle in the first corner leading into valley
left a gap wide open for Luke to get into first place. He then led
comfortably for ten laps, setting the S60 best time of the day at
55.31. A slide into a half spin at the bottom of the valley left him
in a nasty fifth place with two laps to go. Luke managed to grab back
two places and ended up settling for third behind Balmer and Dizyra. A
great result for the first time out in the new wright chassis.
On return into the Parc Ferme Luke was heard to say "Gutted, I thought
i had it boxed !!"
W60 was won by Jimmy
Galloway with a fastest lap of (51.78) and second was
British champion Anthony Moss with fastest lap of the day (51.71)
