Statement
A message from Chris and the Team
I would like to start by saying a massive thank you to everyone thats helped me reach the final total on my Go fund me page, I honestly did not expect this response! It has by far exceeded my expectations, I cant believe the generosity of everyone that has helped.
I am now in a position where I have had replies from company’s and manufacturers who are also donating equipment and parts for the bike which I now won't need to purchase from the Go fund Me money, this means that after I have purchased my spares for the R6 race bike the remaining funds will go into building and adapting bikes again for more impaired riders, this was also a project that was effected by the fire in the college.
The R6 I will be racing at Thundersport GB in 2021 is currently at Clevedon motorcycles awaiting parts to arrive so we can put it back together and race at Snetterton with Thundersport GB.
Here are some of the firms and companies that have got me to the position I am now in -
Junction 20 and Somerset braking have donated time and parts.
Fuchs Silkoline are sponsoring me with lubricants and oils for the season.
Pipewerx have supplied a exhaust system and floor mat.
R&G are helping with crash protection.
Bennets Insurance have offered me a full track day.
TTT Village are helping with some reduced racing parts for the R6.
The bike is starting to be assembled in the garage and get well on its way for the start of the season which looks like Snetterton 1st-3rd May Bank Holiday weekend.
None of the above would have been possible if it wasn’t down to the outstanding generosity of individuals that has donated to my Go Fund Me page also offered products, gifts, time and support to me and my team to get where we are today.
Were in a much better position than a few weeks ago just after the fire, it is incredible what has happened in such a short period of time. I am truly overwhelmed.
Thank you seems such a inadequate word to use, its difficult to express my gratitude and appreciation we feel right now, we are all indebted and overwhelmed with this response and can’t thank you all enough.
The situation is now that the requested total has been reached, I will be closing the Go fund me page at the end of this week, I will give updates and progress reports on the new R6 race bike on my website as often as I can.
I really look forward in thanking you all in person in the paddock over the year.
Its now time to say Finally - Lets go racing in 2021.
Kindest Regard.
Chris.
First images of the fire
All Chris's equipment gone up in smoke
These are the first pictures of the devastation caused by a large fire which ripped through Bridgwater and Taunton College last night.
Crews from across the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Area were called to the college in Bridgwater at 3.30am today to reports of a large fire
At the height of the blaze, flames were leaping upto 30 foot into the air - with smoke being seen from miles around.
Fire crews managed to contain the blaze to the motorcycle and motorsport workshops on the campus.
The fire is now out and crews remain on site damping down and checking for hotspots.
These pictures were taken by crews from Bovey Tracey Fire Station who were called to help tackle the blaze.
The college is closed today to all staff and students.
And investigation into the cause of the fire has been launched.
The Team
In the photograph above are the people behind Chris Ganley Racing, they believed in me from the start, My mechanics, friends, supporters and family.
Without your understanding, hard work and dedication none of this would be ever possible.
Thank you so much to everyone.
