Retained fire-fighter Ivan Lintin of Bardney is preparing for an assault on the Oliver's Mount course at Scarborough at the weekend. Linton races primarily on the roads in Ireland, but also takes in the New Era Club championship and is to contest the entire Oliver’s Mount races on the mainland this year plus the Isle of Man Manx Grand Prix in August.
The 23-year-old rider began his racing career in 2006 competing in the New Era Honda Hornet class finishing second in the Super club series with numerous wins and podium finishes under his belt and later he began racing in Ireland.
“The support races are mainly for the novice and newcomers to pure road racing and it gives the riders a chance to get used to road racing,” he said. “My first race was the Tandragee 100 where I finished second and fourth. I went from there to the Bush races where I won the 400cc and 750cc support and from there went from strength to strength finishing the season in second place in the 750cc Support (Newcomers) Championship and taking the title in the 400cc Support Championship.”
Riding for Sunfish UK/Bardney Racing this year Lintin has already competed at Cadwell in the Super Club series where, despite an ankle injury picked up in a qualifying crash, he rode the GSXR 600cc Suzuki to a brace of top ten finishes.
Qualifying is set for Sunday morning, April 20, with racing due to get underway in the afternoon.
