Below in chronological order is information about my career so far spanning from the early 80's throught to the present day. Roll over each of the thumbnail image to view the larger images taken from different meeting through out that year. 1986 I started racing half way through 1986 at Carnaby Raceway, and amazed everyone by scoring a victory at my first ever race meeting on an old 1100 Katana. Numerous victories followed whilst still wearing my orange novice jacket. 1987 A good season at club level winning the Auto 66 Club 1300cc Production Championship and Super One Club Championship, gaining a national licence in the process. 1988 The year started off well with an excellent second place in my first National event behind Phil Mellor in the Production race at Donnington Park. Further top 6 Places enabled me to finish 10th in the British Production Championships, with my first National victory coming on July at Scarborough’s Oliver’s Mount Circuit. 1989 Second place in the Open Production event on my three year old GSXR 1100 Suzuki set the ball rolling, before a brand new FZR 1000 Yamaha gave me the opportunity to compete on equal terms with the others. I became British Production Champion, beating the like of James Whitham, Ian Simpson and Rodney Knapp, to name abut a few, winning three of the championship rounds and finishing in the top 10 in the rest. 1990 This was my most hectic season since I started racing, with three bikes to ride in three different classes, Supersport 600, 1300 Production and Formula One. It gained me valuable experience and improved my racing no end, winning the National Production Championship title for the second time with 8 top three finishes including two victories. I also took fifth place in the National Supersport 600 Championships with several top five placings, before rounding off my learning year on an F1 machine with close third place behind Carl Fogarty and Trevor Nation in the King of Cadwell Superbike meeting. 1991 The pattern looked set to continue from 1990 when I romped to a ten second Supersport 600 victory in the first meeting of the season at Cadwell Park. Then at Scarborough in May I claimed my first ever victories on a formula one bike. But unfortunately the season came to a premature end in July, when a crash caused by a broken exhaust bracket put me in hospital with a broken leg. An untimely end, just when I was regularly starting to mix with the best in the highly competitive world of 750cc racing. 1992 This season couldn’t have started better with a second place in the 750cc race at Mallory behind the works Suzuki of James Whitham at my first meeting of the year.But then just when I thought I had made a perfect comeback, I was high sided off my Supersport 600 machine and unfortunately re-broke my leg. 1993 The highlight of my second comeback season was joining the elite ranks of Agostini, Duke, Sheen and Forgarty in winning the Scarborough Gold Cup in September. Regaining top form was illustrated at Mallory Park in the British and Supercup championships. In early May I finished below 20th place but by September my result at Mallory had risen to 4th position. 1994 Although competing on a four year old bike I was contantly gaining top 10 positions in the British Championship Rounds, but the death of my brother Craig, who was killed in a tragic motorcycling accident was so devastating that I missed several meetings. 1995 The arrival of a Ducati 916 has given me a competitive machine and a real chance of performing well, as shown by my two brilliant first places in the Scarborough Spring National and by winning the Cock of the North Trophy in July. 1996 Dean started the season in stunning form by once again winning the Spring Cup National at Scarborough. Dean kept up his winning ways by taking the Ken Redfern Trophy at the Croft Circuit and then the Nipon Denso Trophy at Cadwell Park. Dean also notched up a fantastic fourth place in the first round of the MCN Superbike Championship at Donnington Park. Then in September Dean retained the International Gold Cup Trophy at Scarborough.
