SP Racing attended the Derby Phoenix MCC 53rd annual dinner/dance presentation evening at Pride Park, Derby with the whole team in attendance to witness Ady claiming the spoils for the 2003 season's racing.

HM Plant Ducati team mates from 2003 James Toseland and Chris Walker introduced the evening with brief anecdotes from Neil Hodgson's birthday party the previous evening and then went on to present the silverware. James, 3rd in this season's World Superbike Championship, has secured a factory Ducati ride for next season aboard the Fila Ducati vacated by Neil Hodgson following his move to Moto GP next year. Chris Walker has also changed his seat for next season by signing with the Foggy Petronas team again in World Superbikes. With the former team mates and arguably two of the sport's most popular figures presenting the trophies a thoroughly enjoyable evening was had by all. Stu, narrowly missing out on a trophy this season after his incident with close rival Andy Wimpenny, was 4th in the main championship with 148 points and applauded the trophy winners. 3rd in the championship, with 155 points, was Andy Wimpenny who was presented with the third place trophy and 2nd placed Daniel Williams, with 192 points, received the  runner up trophy. Winner of the Formula 400 championship with 195 points, Ady was presented with his champion's trophies and received the Spondon Engineering Trophy which carries many prestigious names of the past and dates back 31 years to 1973. Ady also received the R&S Performance Formula 400 Trophy courtesy of Shaun Webster of R&S Performance Centre in Worksop who supported this season's championship. Dan Williams receives his trophy
