I started racing in 2003 when I was 16 at Knockhill in the Scottish XR2 championship doing the second half of the season; I spent most of the time learning the car and track. The car was run and maintained by Burnett Motorsport. Moving into the 2004 season was my first full season in the XR2 championship I finished 19th overall with some top 10 finishes, I had changed teams for this season it was now ICR that prepared the car. In 2005 I had a new fiesta built by Burnett Motorsport and ICR this made a huge difference. The championship had a few away rounds this year going to Cadwell and Mallory, where I had my first pole position, It was a good years racing finishing 8th overall. I also did my first rally navigating. The 2006 season saw me back at Burnett moving from the circuits to rallying, I had a Peugeot 106 class1 car, with Vicky Grant sitting next to me. We had several class wins at various venues. In 2007 we moved up to class3 with a citreon c2r2, I competed in the international Jim Clark Rally my biggest event yet. I went back to circuits at the end of the season to test a Burnett legend. 2008 saw me win the National Legends Cars Rookie Championship (the Big John Edwards Trophy) without a DNF the whole season. In 2009 I'm back out it in both championships hoping for a top fivein the national and overall honours in the Scottish.
