We
started supporting Jon and Daniel Falzon and the Jon Daniels racing team
in 2007 when the team bought a blueprint engineering race prepared 2000
R6 from us for Jon to start bracket racing.
In 2008 the Jon Daniels racing team bought a CBR150 for Daniel to race
in the national MRRDA junior race series
Blueprint Engineering maintained both the R6 and CBR150 throughout the
2008 and the 2009 seasons setting up the both bikes suspension, general
maintenance after each race and a number of crash repairs and also
manufactured rear sets and handle bars for both bikes.
Jon had some great results racing in brackets and some very good lap
times while studying mechanical engineering.
Daniel finished 7th in the 2008 season and won the MRRDA CBR150
junior National Championship in the 2009 season.
The JD team also ran a HONDA RS125 in the 2009 season with Daniel
ridding and supported and tuned by Dave Atkinson from Mount Gambier
Motorcycle club with Blueprint Engineering Polishing and Painting the
wheels and Repairing and polishing the Swing arm and Chassis and won
the Hartwell Victorian GP125 Open Championship and the South Australian
GP125/250 Championship
In 2010 the team bought a Blueprint Engineering race prepared 2008
Honda CBR600RR for Daniel to race in the AFXC FX600 National
Championship. Daniel took on the challenge of moving into the bigger 600
class like the true champion that he is and looked comfortable from the
first day we went out testing.
Throughout the year Blueprint Engineering did all the maintenance and
crash repairs including Motojig chassis and swingarm repairs, suspension
and setup advise.
After a year of lots of late nights in the workshop and long days at the
track and lots of travelling for the Jon Daniels race team Daniel
made it worth all the effort for every one by winning the D grade
championship and finishing 4th overall in the FX 600 class.
Not Bad for a 16year old in only his first year on a 600 and only his
third year road racing. With the endless amount of natural talent Daniel
has and the immaculate and professional Jon Daniels Racing team behind
him these guys are going places so get on board and support them while
you can.
Sean’s Sponsorship
2008
During
the 2007 season Sean was always at the track helping out with our race
team and during that time he made it very clear that he wanted to go
racing.
With very little previous experience ridding road or dirt bikes at all
we went sure how it would go. But after giving him a ride on a couple of
our bikes at track days it was clear that he had natural talent and was
willing to listen when given advice. And also gave good feedback about
the handling problems the bike would have.
This was exciting for me as I was still adapting to the challenge of
setting a bike up from the rider’s feedback and not ridding it myself.
So to have a rider willing to listen to advice and also have the ability
to explain what the bike was doing on the track so I could make the
correct adjustments
At the start of 2008 a very neglected 2004 CBR600RR ex race bike showed
up for the right money. So after a team meeting at the Jetty Bar and a
few quiet drinks with Sean we decided to buy the bike and run a two bike
team with Scott and Sean.
After a complete tear down of the bike and the realigning of the
chassis in the Motojig and repairing other damaged parts.
Sean had a great year and wasn’t distracted by other peoples opinion’s
at the track on how they thought a bike should be set up. He just
focused on the team around him and listened to my advice and would do
every thing that was asked.
During the year Sean had some great results which included winning the
first three Bracket races we entered and getting his lap times down to a
very respectful and consistent 13.1,s at Mallala. Great job for his
first year road racing.
Scotts Sponsorship
2007- 2008
Scott
bought a Blueprint Engineering Race prepared 2006 R6 in super stock
race trim at the start of 2007. Over that year we worked with Scott to
develop the bike into a supersport spec bike fitting a range of YEC
parts and other parts and dyno tuned etc.
With
many hours spent at the track and long nights in the workshop the
rewards came at the end of 2007 when the team finished second in the
south Australian supersport championship.
