CRMC Anglesey - Sorry for the delayed report. Been a busy week or so in the workshop.
After the hottest UK summer in memory, what more did we expect than a wet Bank Holiday weekend in Wales! After weeks of dry weather, we drove to Anglesey in pouring rain. Once we arrived at the track, it did stop long enough for us to unload the vans and get set up for the weekend.
A very quiet weekend for us this time. Adam Carson #43 was not racing, and Dan Kift #32 was also giving it a miss. As Dan had ridden at Thruxton the weekend before. Just Greg Wright #33 on the Team Allspeed Honda CBR600. Greg had been trying everything possible to get his Ducati 748 back together after the crash at Donington, however time and parts got the better of him.
Felt strange having just one bike to look after all weekend.
Saturday and it was clear the weather was going to be the major opponent to deal with. Time for me and Jarrod to get up to speed with our wheel changes. Certainly, got plenty of practice in over the weekend.
Practice came and it was wet. Greg headed out on the Honda to just take it safe and see how the track was. All we wanted to do this weekend was take good safe finishes and keep Greg’s third position in the championship. Greg did exactly this and qualified seventh overall and fifth in the SS600 class.
Race one of the weekend and still the track was wet. Lights out and Greg got straight into a safe third place in the SS600 class. He could not compete with the two leaders and just counted the laps down to take third at the finish. Very happy with that.
Second SS600 race of the day and it had finally stopped raining and the track was drying. So quick change of wheels to the dry tyres and we were off. Greg was holding another safe third place in the 600’s right up to the last lap. When he was overtaken and dropped to fourth position. Not wanting to take any unnecessary risks this weekend Greg settled for the fourth place.
Sunday, we woke to dry weather, and the forecast was looking better for today. However, the rain had other ideas and just before the call to go to the grid down came the rain again. Another wheel swap and Greg were on the grid with full wets. Very wet this time and Greg tip toed round at the same pace he had on Saturday. However, some of the other 600 riders had found pace overnight and pushed Greg down to finishing fifth by the end of the race. Not great, but still importantly points being scored.
Last 600 race of the weekend and now back to a dry track. Greg started seventh on the grid. He had a great race and finished the weekend with a second place in the SS600. A good result and a safe weekend in challenging conditions.
Greg also raced in the ACU Post Classic 750 race. We had planned to head home early and give this race a miss. That was until we realised Greg was sitting third in the ACU championship. Better stay for that race then now. Greg qualified in fourth place on a dry track earlier in the day. Race came and the track was now wet. Yes, another wheel change! Longer races these ACU races, and when it’s raining your really don’t want that. Greg stuck at it and took a lonely fourth place, which cemented his third place in the championship for now.
With Anglesey completed we took the long drive home and only three weeks to get all the bikes ready for the final round at Mallory Park. Fingers crossed Greg will get his Ducati back up and working. Adam will be back on our Yamaha FZR600R and hopefully the Oliver Motorsport Supermono. There is also a threat of Dan joining us on his OW01 to see the season out.
See you at Mallory.
