 Steve heating-up before the race
Steve Parton is the RoPa Racing Team Manager, and in 2006 finished 3rd in the
V Twin class of the Euopean Speer Cup. Steve races his Ducati 916 SPS, built in
1997. A lot of work has gone into Steve's bike this Winter including; new
bodywork, wheels, air intakes, swingarm and a complete new engine, to keep Steve
competitive. One of his dreams is to own a world superbike 'spec.' race
bike. He is now close to achieving this.
Steve is a perfectionist out on the track, and above all consistent. These
are the major secrets to his championship success. For 2007 he hopes to up the
ante, and aims to finish within the top 5 of every race, thereby finishing the
championship within the top 3.
When looking at some of the pictures of Steve on the track, it appears to be
just as important to look cool on the bike, as it is to be quick.
Steve has also been successful off the track in developing the team, and
bringing us the major sponsors for 2007. We are looking forward to a rewarding
and fun season of racing, with financial backing confirmed from Oschatz, CSM
Group, Ropa Stahl, Moto Mondiale Ducati Saarland, and Alloy Wire.
Steve works in the steel industry, selling specialty nickel alloy and
stainless steel products, as well as waste gas cooling units for BOS Steel
Plants. Further information about Steve, especially plenty of pictures, can be
