Nora round 2-3 upavon

Practice we felt good on the bike with only doing whay we have to just to see the track and with only doing 2 laps plus the 1 under waved flags so no pace and no jumps

Race 1

Got a decent start with a few teams behind and have a few battles but ultimately dropping back with a few mistakes from Connor not getting out enough and side coming up putting us in the soft stuff and with shutting off early and some uncommon lines. Plus hitting the double table tops abit quick and landing funny but staying on the bike. Got to the finish in p21

Race 2

Starting on the back row we made the best of it and got up to where we could have a few battles. Feeling like we could gain pace on the jumps tried hitting the step up to then be hitting the deck. Kieran being taken into the medic car with suspicions on something broken in his knee and being knocked out for a minute.
Connor after going over the hand rail and the handlebars all in one landed hard on his elbow resulting in a bad shoulder elbow and arm.
DNF in this meant that race 3 wasnt going to happen for the team.

Nothing being linked with going into the sunday the team wasnt there due to a birthday and spending time with family.

Injury updates.

Connor is okay still with left arm pain.
Kieran feeling abit battered and bruised

Overall all okay and will be back at monster mountain.

Thank you to the teams sponsors and jason for the mechanics all day not that much was needed as bike was flawless just plenty of rider/passanger errors.

British championship at culham

Quali p26

Race 1 p22

Race 2 p21

British championship Overall p23
Nation expert overall p11

Quali: p26

Had a problem with the elctrics on the bike keep cutting it out.
So meaning no quick lap for us.
Got them changed and went for race 1.

Race 1: p22

Starting on the second row we got off well and had a few teams behind us got to the bottom of the hill and a crew was tipping over as we got there so went around that and gained a postion to soon drop backwards due to arm pump with kieran. Little battle with Alex luckes before they pulled off and we then kept steady and got a finish.

Going around Connor kept looking at a kick start on the track thinking oh no what if its ours so as we were going steady noticed it was ours so pulled up quick to gather that and went 4 laps with it down Connor trousers.

Race 2: p21

Stalled at the start pushed like hell to catch back up to then arm pump struck again dropping us back.

Letting ant milliar and jake brown go through as they were having a great battle we were in the soft stuff twisted the throttle and the bike went sideways and we were in the bank. Kieran going over the handle bars and over the bank. Connor hitting into handrail then going over the front snapping the handrail in mean time.

Again kick start on the track and was ours again.
Last 3 laps and the rear mud guard falls off so we stopped and waited for the checker flag to come out as we wernt going to run with that off.
Again we got the finish.

We dont mind these saturday races as give a day to strip and clean the bike ready for next outing at upavon.

Where to start about this weekend

Well first of all thank you to Nora for holding the event in landrake, that includes all the marshalls that beared the heat all weekend aswell.

With the heat into the 30s all weekend it was very demanding on the teams and the bikes.

Saturday

Practice
P17

Got a feel of the track went for a oush lap landing the step up and snapping the gear shift shaft. This is the point we thought it was pack up time as we didn't have a spare with us but thankfully Tony Grahame did and come to the rescue.

Race 1
P14

With having to work on the bike so much between practice and race 1 Connor wasn't able to hydrate at all and felt really sick just after the first lap so the boys just got to the finish line but with other teams pulling out and breaking down they come back in 14th.

Race 2
P12

Abit more push this race but not the pace we was looking for but again got a finish and same as race before with teams backing out and breaking down the boys come home 12th

Race 3
P13

With getting a fair start they got into the mix and was running 9th with pushing 8th with 2 laps to go missed gears and wrong gears and no grip kept losing positions but was great battles but come out of it 13th

Sunday

Practice

This was optional for this day but where the boys come in Saturday after race 3 the clutch wasn't working. They decided to go out which was a mistake.
With heavy watering after the step down just going back up the hill the bike come around and spat the boys over and snapped the hand rail.

Race 1
Dnf

Into the top 10 again with break downs and people pulling out. Connor didn't feel confident in the quick fix of the handrail and was trying everything not to hold on. but with 2 laps to go the bike come to a stop with no compression it ended a dnf.

Race 2

Was good racing to watch before we drove home.

Race 3

We hope everyone got round safely

Huge thank you to:

Another late post:

Our first British championship round at canada heights

Practice/quali:
P16
Went well until we hit the step up after the big table top and didn't end well with Connor getting winded.
Pulled in re grouped and went back out but our pace was just to far off everyone around us.

Race 1:
P14
Not a great start with stalling it out the line.
But got to restart because of a crash.
Got out the gate and was going okay till bike stalled.
Got round and finished but with pace slowing every lap.

Race 2:
Dnf
Got to the tight left hand to then the engine to start steaming out of the crank case overflow so had to stop waited for it to cool down then rode it back to the van.

Overall
P16 with 7 points

We wanted more and wanted to push more but just couldn't on the day unfortunately.

Nora round 2

The teams outcome to this event is that the starts need to be improved massively and endurance for race 3 because as the day drags through until the boys hit the track for race 3 tiredness kicks in.

So overall the points in all 3 races come home to the team and that's what matters and there is no further injury for the team.

Practice/quali
P15
Went well thought we had abit of pace in us and with the track flat we went okay.

Race 1
P17
Start was bad but they got on the back of 2 crews which was Steven Bazell and Steve Jones and they was all trying to make passes which for us didn't end that well to where the boys lost ground they pulled the gap back but then the clutch lever went solid again like at rushwick so pulled in to the work area and sorted quickly to get out but lost lots of ground to then do half a lap and the lever goes afain this time fixed whilst going down the back hill just to be able to cross the finish line.

Race 2
P17
Same bad start fought hard with other crews again and Connor making a mistake with telling kieran to let others through which were for position and not the leaders coming through. This wasn't helped as the Marshalls waved blue flags.

Race 3
P17
Another bad start but got on the back of Steven bazell and made a pass as they went a little wide and the boys went up the inside and was able to hold off for a few laps until they went inside and was able to get a good drive past the boys.
This then led to slowing down and just to bring bike home in 1 peice and gain the points. But with 2 laps to go there was a slow crew with an issue and the boys went flying past to then stall and let them back through to the boys going past again then the same thing happened and the boys couldn't gain back.

So our next race is now not for a while as finances now cannot stretch for canada heights unfortunately but we will be back out on track at the next Nora meeting.

Big thanks to

As a team we wish Anthony Milliar & Alex luckes (Max Luckes) a massive get well soon and hopefully see them again soon back and well
