Had a good day at High Ham yesterday , track was pretty dry and dusty , because there were only 6 riders enterred in the Junior MX2 class they were put into our race but counted seperately .
1st race I picked peg no. 27 , so ended up on the outside of the gate , my brand new Goldentyre hooked up well and I was first out of the gate , got shoved wide into the 1st bend and ended up 8th as we joined the main track . I picked off a few riders and moved into 4th by the finish and I was the 2nd MX1 rider .
Race 2 with a better pick of the gate I went for the inside , the guy who had won the 1st race beat me to the 1st corner and I joined the main track in about 5th , by half way through the race I had moved into 2nd and was the leading MX1 rider , the guy in front on an MX2 bike was holding me up , but High Ham is a tight track and I couldn't find a way past him .
With half a lap to go the bloke in 3rd caught me by suprise and nicked 2nd place off me , making me the 2nd MX1 rider again .
Race 3 went inside again off the gate and ended up being pushed into the post on the 1st corner , joined the main track midfield . Found some crazy lines on the 1st lap and was up into 3rd place by the time we had completed a full lap .
The rider in 2nd place went through the ropes part way through the race , moving me up a place , caught up with the leader and had a bit of a battle with him , as he was an MX2 rider I dedcided to back off a bit at the end of the race as 1st MX1 rider was good enough for me .
With 2nd , 2nd , 1st places in the MX1 class I ended up 1st overall .
I am now 1 point off going to Senior , HELP
Got a few pics , I proccessed them on my new laptop and some don't look quite right on my desktop
Either my desktop screen is getting old and tired , like it's user
or the laptop screen isn't set right ?
