August 2010
July finished badly for Reece with a nightmare meeting at Workington following mechanical problems. This was soon forgotten after a successful meeting at the Isle of Wight saw Reece claim third on the podium. Race one started with a win with races two three and four accumukating enough points to qualify comfortably for the final.
After a tight first turn championship leader Robert Lambert and track specialist Nathan Stoneman pulled away with Reece claiming a comfortable third ahead of David Abraham
May 2010
Following his crash in practice and 3 weeks out of action at the start of the season Reece kicked off the 2010 under 15s championship with a fine podium finish in the first round of the British 250cc Championship at Newport, South Wales.
Temperatures on track were over 85 degrees as the young hopefuls battled it out on the shale. Reece qualified for the final after collecting four consecutive second places in the heats with a display of neat error free racing. In races that last 60 seconds the start is key and Reece was left with a mountain to climb when, following 1st corner bunching, he was left trailing in fourth in the grand final. Again his patience and precise riding style paid off and he capitalised on another riders mistake to take and hold third spot for a podium finish.

Reecie took 5 race wins out of 6 to clinch the meeting and series from main rival Jack Cornes in a thrilling duel. Race 1 to Reece, race 2 jack pips Reece on the line, race 3 Reece holds Jack of dispite repeated challenges, race 4 Reece wins, race 5 stunning time from Reece and a very scary moment for Jack seals it for Reece. Race 6 think both boys were worn out, Reece takes it in a steady time as Jack battles with his machine.

20.4.08 SUPER SECOND for Reecie!!!!!!. In wet and slippy conditions Reecie rode hard to gain a well deserved second place in the Lancashire Junior Grasstrack meeting at Much Hoole on Sunday. Six second places in six races guarenteed a podium finish. The best of all was heat 3 where Reecie almost fell as his bike gripped at the start but battled back to take second place on the line after winding the throttle on round the last bend and up the straight to take the chequered flag.

15.3.08 The 2008 season started with another trophy in the cabinet with a 3rd place at the LJRGTC meeting at the Eddie Wright Raceway, Scunthorpe. Dispite the mist and drizzle all the boys put on a great display. Unfortunately Reecie's 85cc Honda couldn't match the pace of the CRF 15occ Hondas and the 100cc Kawasakis though yet again Reece displayed classic speedway style riding to gain this 3rd place.

20.10.07 Reecies last outing on his kawasaki KX 60 ended with his first meeting win at the Lancashire Grasstrack Club's speedway meeting at Scunthorpe. Wins in 4 out of 5 races combined with some great overtaking moves saw Reece not only win his class but also take home the club's youth rider of the meeting award. This is a great end to the season which started with being made mascot of Scunthorpe Scorpions and also had the brilliant success of £1,400 raised for Garry Staed.
