Notes
** The CJ Riders Fund was established in early 2006 when 14-year-old Chris Jones lost his life in a tragic racing accident at Cadwell Park in August 2005.
The CJ Riders Fund (CJRF) was set up in Chris' memory to raise money within the motorcycle industry to provide vital medical equipment and improve the safety at the British Motorcycle Races.
The CJ Riders Fund has proved to become a vital part of the British Superbike series, having provided the X-ray machine at the start of 2007. 2008 has seen the Chris Jones Riders Fund supply the BSB medical centres with three physiotherapists
( www.backontrackphysio.org ) who attend every British Superbike round.
An ice machine for a permanent supply of ready-made ice for riders injuries, three radiologists who are in control of the X-ray machine plus we are currently testing out two ultra sound machines to detect any internal injuries the riders may have suffered.**
