1980 - Kawasaki 500 Series UK Championship = 1st
1981 - Marlboro 1300cc Clubmans Championship Z1000J1 = 2nd

More info:

"The Kawasaki Z500 race series proved a firm favourite with spectators in the UK who could watch standard Z500 motorcycles race around the famous UK circuits. With no modifications the Z500 proved to be good breeding ground for production racers. The race series was won by Neil Storey from Lincolnshire who was presented with a brand new Z1000 by Kawasaki Uk to race the following year in the Marlboro Clubmans Championship". :lol: :shock: note given!

Speaking to others I think there was a bit of hidden mods going on :wink:
