THE LAST STAND
Final round of No Limits Racing NLR - HQ at Donington Park.
Build up to the weekend had been stressful, trying to sort an electrical issue that arrived at Anglesey, big shout out to DWR squeezing the old girl on the dyno and figuring out the problem.
Friday Teat day:
Moist and windy ... i split the day with a fellow rider however only managed one very wet session due to oil being spilt on track just before my second session, not to worry I had proved the bike was fixed.
Saturday:
Again woke to a damp morning .... the wets were in the bike and it was time for qually.
2 things ive tried to focus on over the last 2 season have been qualifying well and pushing myself in the wet conditions, both of these have paid of i qualified P1 in class and P2 overall against a grid of modern technologies and rider aids ....
Due to horrid weather conditions a few set backs my race was postponed to sunday.
The evening was all about endurance with SHARPY 617 DAMBUSTERS Racing.
A solid ride from Alan and Joe in mixed conditions see them finish P21 of 36 and doing so on a single bike.
Great effort from the team during pit stops to swap wheels at a rapid rate.
Sunday - D-Day
Straight out for the Interservice qualifying, again a wet/cold track remained despite the sunshine.
Missed out on pole by 0.004 of a second but felt good on the wet conditions.
Quick pit stop before qually for some fuel and it was back down to the grid for my first race.
Starting P2 i got a mega launch and took the hole shot leading the way and gapping the feild, 4 laps in red flag.
We restarted the race for a 4 lap sprint, another mint start would see me whole shot again, leading the whole race up to the final chicane where Keiran Wood (Army) made a lunge on Cully but couldn't quite get it stopped going past me and running deep, luckily I caught him out of the corner of my eye, avoided collision and focused on the cut back and good drive crossing the line P1 overall beating modern bikes in the rain with an 18 year old fireblade ! Well chuffed !
I sat out the other 2 oldskl 1k races just to save me and the bike.
1400 Interservice race, the pressure was high the nerves were apparent, all i needed was a top 10 finish to take the championship.
12 laps to decide my fate, I got a great launch again hole shot into turn 1.
Unfortunately sitting out the other races meant id not been on a dry track all weekend so felt abit uncomfortable.... i dropped back to 4th and had a lonely race telling myself to be sensible and not chase the top 3, had a small run in with a back marker that could of ended it all but luckily survived.
12 tense laps later P4 means I was crowed a champion for the second time a very proud moment for me, something I thought was never within reach π
To top it all off the team as a whole have had a fantastic season and won back the Interserve team championship from the Army, not a bad way to end my first season as team captain.
Couldn't be done with out all the help and support along the way, many thanks to :
