January PR update...

Thanks to Jane Bird, media coverage about Leon has been busy throughout January. 'Nuneaton News' have run a story announcing new sponsor 'Arbury Gates and Railings', as did the the 'Coventry Telegraph' who also mentioned the new deal that has been agreed with 'Moto World UK'. The 'Coventry Telegraph' also ran an article about Leon being nominated for the '2009 Nuneaton and Bedworth Sports Forum Senior Sports Personality Award'. This is an incredible achievement for Leon, and highlights how people are starting to notice how much Leon has achieved in his racing career so far. The winners will be announced on Tuesday 2nd February at the ceremony at Nuneaton Town Hall...well done Leon, and good luck for Tuesday...

Happy New Year!

Well today sees the beginning of 2010, and it started with a rather splendid write-up in the 'Shropshire Star'. Jane Bird has been working her magic again and managed to get more than half a page in the middle of the motoring section. Well done Jane, it's a great beginning to what will hopefully be a great year...


(Nice!)

Christmas go-karting...

It's been a while since I've updated the blog, I guess things get busy over the Christmas period. Anyway, last week Leon and myself waved the BMC flag in a go-karting race in Birmingham. And guess what...WE WON! It was a very eventful race though (an hour long endurance) where black flags, crashes and a brief stoppage played their part in the final result. We qualified second on the grid, which included eleven teams of two drivers each. Leon even managed to get the second fastest lap of the race, and there were some very fine drivers indeed. It was a great way to spend an afternoon during the holidays, and a big thanks goes out to Jody Lees for arranging it all. Expect to see Leon and myself teaming up again soon...

Here's the first lap, I'm the driver in second place:



And here's the gold medal that we won:

The Beautiful Game...

Talk about keeping it in the family! Rikkie Jeacock, Leon's younger brother, can be seen on the football pitch sporting the familiar number 55. Rikkie currently holds a place in the Nuneaton Town Community FC reserves team, and is aiming for a first team place in the not too distant future. Well done Rikkie, and good luck from everyone at BMC Racing...


(Guess which one is Rikkie!)

A PR update...

Well, news has been getting out and about thanks to Jane Bird at 'In Touch Sports Media & Marketing'. Jane has been working the media hard for Leon these past few weeks and has managed to really create a buzz around Leon's successes this year. Here are some links to some of the articles that have run recently:

And here's an article that ran in the Coventry Evening Telegraph:



Well done Jane, you've been doing a sterling job!

EMRA presentation night...

Last weekend we were all out in force at the end of year EMRA dinner, dance and trophy giving ceremony. And this year we were again privileged to have Cal Crutchlow, World Supersport Champion, and John Reynolds, three times British Superbike Champion, handing out the prizes. It was a fantastic evening for the BMC Racing/Jeacock gang. Not only did we seem to have the largest turn out, we also seemed to pick up more awards than any other team. Between them, Mike and Leon picked up a whopping thirteen trophies! Here's a list of what they picked up...

Leon :
Formula 600 Championship Winner (2 trophies)
Superstock 600 Championship Winner (2 trophies)
Co-Ordit Relay Championship Winner (2 trophies)
Tony Bouncer Trophy Winner (2 trophies)
Buildbase Mallory Trophy 3rd position (1 trophy)

Mike:
Formula 400 Championship Winner (2 trophies)
Paul Vincent Trophy Winner (2 trophies)

Now that's a lot of metal! Except for the 'Tony Bouncer Trophy', which is made out of glass and has a value somewhere in the region of £3000...so Leon gave it back after having his photo taken with it. Very wise move Leon!








(Nice Work lads!)

Latest BSN report...

Here's a link to the latest BSN report on Leon's recent outing at Mallory Park. And it's a good one! Shame there's not a pic of him on the new R6 though, but I'm sure there will be plenty in good time: http://www.bikesportnews.com/articles/article.html?id=JEACOCK_ENDS_CLUB_SEASON_ON_A_HIGH_1
