'LAP RECORD'

'SUPERMAN'

The latest edition of BSN has a rather splendid write-up of the final round of the EMRA championships. Leon, quite rightly, gets the majority of the limelight,Here's how the first paragraph reads:

'HAT-TRICK OF TITLES FOR JUBILANT JEACOCK'

Having won two EMRA Club Championships last season, a jubilant Leon Jeacock went one better this year with a hat-trick of successes on his BMC Yamaha as the 20-year-old from Nuneaton, Warwickshire retained his Superstock 600 title that also earned him the Co-Ordit Relay Championship crown, and he also topped the points table in the Formula 600 class...

'Brilliant!

EMRA Formula 400 'NEW LAP RECORD'

And what a Ride it turned out to be !!!!
After clinching all 3, 600 cc Championships earlier on in the day, Leon decided to ride the spare BMC Racing Honda RVF 400 in Race 2, after Elliot Stevens had a Guest ride on the machine in Race 1 and managed his fastest lap time of 1:00.5, well Done!

However, Leon hadn't put in a qualifying time so would have to start the race from the back of the grid (Last!). So it was going to be an interesting one! The lights went out and off he flew, as Simon Edmondson said " He came by me that fast the breeze from him nearly hit my Kill switch off", By the time he reached 'Edwinas' Leon was already up in to third place. Coming out of 'Edwinas' Leon got the drop on James Simpson and set about Sam Hornsey. And heading in to 'Edwinas' for the second time Leon pulled an awesome out-braking manoeuvre on Sam to take the lead. And that's where he stayed for the rest of the race in 1st Place.
But get this, Leon also obliterated the Formula 400 lap record with a lap time of 56.835!
Incredible riding ! and it just shows how the lightened BMC Racing / LJR Racing products does and will make a difference, along with a Good Rider!!

'TRIPLE' Champion 2009

EMRA Round 6

'THE FINAL'

First up the Buildbase Mallory Trophy and the six lap sprint.
Leon got a blistering start and was second going in to 'Edwinas' for the first time. He then had a fight on his hands and was briefly pushed back fourth, but with some solid lap times in the mid 54's Leon stuck himself up to third to take the final podium slot. Oh, and he also took the fastest lap of the race with a time of 54.427. Simply brilliant.
Race two saw Leon ride with all the confidence of a true champion. He has his usual fantastic start saw him up to second and pushing Philip Green for the lead. And with some incredibly consistent lap times, and another brilliant out-braking manoeuvre in to 'Edwinas', Leon soon took the lead and pulled a gap on the chasing pack, and brought it home to a memorable victory for the main event of the day. And again he was the quickest rider out on track with a lap time of 54.151 seconds. This gave Leon the '3rd' place finish in the Buildbase Championship, just a single point behind Philip Brooks who finished in second place. Pure magic!

In the Superstock 600's Leon just needed a solid points finish to claim the title for the second year running. And he was also leading the Co-Ordit Relay category too, which gives the young winning rider free entry to next years NG series.
In race one, Leon tucked in behind the flying Luke Stapleford in top second place. Luke rode a great race to win but Leon did enough to finish second, way ahead of the rest of the pack, to take both the Superstock 600 and Co-Ordit Relay championships. A fantastic result, and something for Leon to focus on for next year. Race two was a carbon copy of the first, with Leon following Luke home in second place. This time though, Leon recorded his fastest lap of the day (54.147) to stay closer to Luke by the end, and in doing so pulling an immense gap on the chasing pack.
Clinching the Formula 600 championship seemed like a formality for Leon, with his lead being what it was. But that didn't stop him from pushing mightily hard in both races to take a couple of domineering victories.
Race one saw Leon being pushed well by Jody Lees and Sean Moore, but Leon soon took control and finished the race with a two and a half second gap.
Race two, and being the newly crowned champion, we saw Leon sporting a Superman t-shirt over his leathers. He certainly lived up to the name too! Leon lead from start to finish and pulled a similar gap as race one by the end. A masterclass on how to ride Mallory Park.So there you have it, a truely unbelievable days racing for everyone involved. From the grid girls, caterers, and strong family support, to the riders themselves...everyone played their part and should be very proud of this years achievments. I thank, and admire you all!
