Melbourne Raceway Round from this weekend.
The latest round at Melbourne Raceway was one to remember, both on and off the track.
The weekend started with helping the Straightliners crew on Friday and Saturday with preparations for the Street Weekend class. It was great to be involved behind the scenes and help get everything ready for race day.
Sunday saw the focus shift back to racing. After some strong runs throughout the day, I progressed through the rounds and found myself lined up against William in the semi-finals. Knowing it would be a close race, I set my dial-in based on a new personal best. Unfortunately, William got the better of me and took the win. He then went on to face Jet in the final, where he secured the overall victory. Congratulations to William on a great performance.
As always, the junior racers put on an incredible show and continue to be one of the highlights of every event. Their racing is always exciting to watch and the future of the sport is looking bright.
Although my race day ended in the semi-finals, the best was yet to come. Following the finals, I was able to complete several test passes and my bike was performing brilliantly. With each run, i continued to improve and set new personal bests.
Going into the weekend, one of my major goals for the season was to break into the 9-second zone. After several strong passes, everything finally came together and I achieved a 9.97-second run.
Reaching the 9s has been a target of mine for a long time, and to accomplish it this season is an incredible feeling. I couldn't be happier with the progress we've made and it gives us plenty of confidence heading into the next round.
A huge thank you goes to everyone who supports me throughout the season, including my family, friends, crew, sponsors and fellow racers. Your encouragement and support make achievements like this possible, and I am grateful for every one of you.
