About Jason Holland
I rode my first bike when I was ten years old; it was an 80cc motor x bike. At the
age of 15 I started play riding through the fields and motor x racing. I did this
for many years and was awarded various trophies along my way. I sold my motor x
bike at the age of 17 which gave me the money to begin my passion for road bikes.
I brought an RD 125 Yamaha.
Three years later at the age of 21 I brought
a Honda CR125 and started dedicating more time to racing, again receiving numerous
trophies. Unfortunately I had my bike stolen forcing me to give up my racing for
a while.
In the year 2000 I came across an ex Mike Brown British Champion Bike, namely a
Honda CR125 which I did more than very well with that season.
My road racing career kicked off in February 2004 when I got a standard Honda CBR
600FSI. (See 2004 Results)
I went to Nogaro South France in March 2004 for 4 days on the track and that was
it, I had the racing bug for real.
I was told by fellow riders that I did exceedingly well considering I had never
ridden on a tarmac track before.
I went to race with New Era, my very first race being at Snetterton March 2004.
I led the race until lap 6 and it had been raining then the person who overtook
me into first position crashed in front of me. To avoid him I ran off the track,
across the run off area and done a bit of a motor x to get back on the track, rejoining
last but managed to claw my way back to a well deserved 12th Position. I continued
to race all through 2004 and really surprised myself at the amount of trophies I
received. What an achievement.
Late 2004 I brought myself a Honda CBR 600RR which was a standard bike apart from
an after market exhaust and a white power rear shock so as you can imagine my bike
was very under powered but I still went through to win not only 10 1st Places but
lots of 2nds and 3rds too.
I started the new season in March 2005 with a new bike from slingshot racing; it
was a Honda CBR 600 RR kit bike from Japan. This was a super fast bike which gave
me the confidence of ten men. Many thanks to Jim Stock, I achieved results at Snetterton,
in the 2nd qualifying lap a fellow riders bike had blown up leaving oil all over
the track. The marshals never had any flags out, so as I entered the fastest corner,
I hit the oil and the bike slid and flipped a few times which unfortunately resulted
in my foot and leg being crushed and completely snapped in three places across my
femur.
Breaking my femur was the result of me not being able to compete for the rest of
2005 and all of 2006. Although I did get in a few cheeky races in 2006 as my passion
for racing was still boiling in my blood. Come on what’s a broken femur bone when
you can race at Brands Hatch GP Circuit.
