Just a short report this week...:lol:
Qualified 22nd which was to be expected, It rained all night keeping me awake and was really windy, it stopped first thing in the morning and the track was a little sloppy to begin with, but was going to be just perfect by first race...
Race 1 : Still on my Sponsors own bike the vintage 2008 Yzeeeeeee 124/144, i was hopefull of a good start similar to the last week , gate dropped and i didnt hook up on the Worn out dunlop and i slid left and right before i headed up the straight. I actually was going ok a couple of riders down on the next few corners and i settled into my pace and finished upright and 18/22
Race 2: Gate dropped and another awful start and 2 laps in i had enough as i couldnt keep pace and pulled out, Of to see Greta and find out if i could drop into the next Junior C Race.
I was looking for some confidence that has been knocked over the last 5 meetings by coming at the rear or near enough, so knew by the laptimes a bit of sandbagging would cheer me up.
Race 2.5: Gate dropped and i rounded 1st corner in 4th over 2 big jumps and a couple more corners i was upto 2nd, the leader jumped over the blind uphill jump and i followed only to find him sprawled across the center of the track. Unfortunatley when i saw him i was mid air and i landed straight on the poor sods bike which stopped me dead. The whole pack went by, and by the time i got going i was on a charge to try and get through as many as i can before the end. Easily expecting a top 10.
The next lap going up the start straight i could hear a bit of piston slap and the bike was fluffing at top revs, by the time i got to complete the end of lap 1, bike was dead.:lol:
Now not only is my bike in bits but so will this 1 be :mad:
Its sounding an all too familiar thing with 2fat and his bikes blowing up so i thought i would join in.... Once Mr Clithroe has done a few tweaks to my Vintage Honda motor, i should be back in the seat for the next round.
Junior Group B would of thought. :xbeer
