I see that Wilson Craig has again spread the joy across the paddock this time to Shaun Harris.
2008 saw Wilson have Keith Amor as his main campaigner but still managed to help Keith Stewart for much of the season and also Guy Martin would have rode a 600 at Dundrod if not for rain of biblical propotions.
I`ve read on postings of fast the 600`s of Wilsons are but I don`t think they are the rocket ships everyone thinks they are.For one thing they are quite old and technology and tuning moves on quickly.I watched the video of 2008 NW200 SS600 race the other night and could not belive how far ahead Amor was on the run down to university on the first lap,the tow was broken and out of nowhere the Yamaha`s just swallowed him up and spat him out.
The 600`s he rode at the NW were not the bikes he rode at the TT to finnish on the podium.Also lets not forget how good Mr Amor is.
Its of course great to see someone who loves the sport and helps where he can but I would like Wilson to look at what could be possible if he focused his efforts time and money in one direction.
Who ever is lucky enough to secure his backing for next year could have a successful season,as long as the effort is not diluted to far.

1. Shaun Harris has got himself a good bike. He will show us that so called "old skool technology" is cool technology.

2. With regards to the NW200 SS600 race Amor was mixing it with the work teams. Teams with cash, teams with resources, teams with NW experiences and all the rest....

3. Its been a successful year for Wilson Craig and lets not forget Amor this season was still a fresher to many a road meeting in Ireland this year. Both rider and team owner learnt alot from each other.

4. For me Amor was the road man that impressed me the most this season and I hope we see him do the National scene again in 2009. He has been good for the national scene. Competitive, popular and a down to earth bloke his profile has been raised thanks mainly due to teaming up with Wilson. The Wilson/Amor partnership was very refreshing to see this year and if the bikes are not like "rocket ships" then Amor's potential is yet to be revealed.

5. It was not a hidden secret that Wilson had two 06 models and I think he had two 04 supersport machines too but if you put a hungry, focused, competitive rider who like Amor gave it 110% then results can and will be gained. Wilson Craig Racing is a fine example.

6. What are Amor's plans for next season anyway

hes staying in ireland with wilson i hear,and the TT high up there on his list,farquhar is a legend,but id reckon amor be a bit closer to him next season....2 fantastic riders.....dont matter who gets what,i cant wait to see them all at it next season....

Full season of Irish roads ahead!

Might not be everything but didn't his 600 go through the speed trap at the NW200 at 180mph.

Keith has got himself to the front at our road races very quickly. What can he achieve with even more miles under his belt?

Wilson Craig like all sponsors/backers past and present should be treated like royalty for the commitment they have given.
