Well that was a mixed bag of a weekend!
Had a cracking nights sleep Friday night and woke up fresh and ready for a good days racing Saturday.
Took P1 on the rs250 in qualifying for both formula 400 and up to 500 with some good times, both in the 57s
Managed a time good enough for 3rd in the streetstock 125 on DDR Motorsport CBR but lost the front at the hairpin.
Race 1 in up to 500 on the 250 was unfortunatly a DNF due to an electrical issue causing a flat battery......DOH!
Race 2 for formula 400, after a battery change, was a welcomed win after a good battle with Ste on his steelie
Race 3 on the 125 was turning into what could have been a podium finish, however came into Lunar a bit hot and lost the front, sliding full bore into the tyre wall. Luckily no injuries and the bike was OK.
Race 4 on the 250, was a long slog from the back of the grid after the DNF, only just catching 1st on the last lap but managing to take him for the win.
Race 5 on the 250 was another good battle with Ste and managed P1 in class and overall.
Qualifying on the Sunday saw me in 1st for both classes on the 250 and 6th on the 125.
Race 1 on the 250 was a nice win, being chased the whole race but managed to stay out front.
Race 2 on the 250 was turning out to be a really good race! Chasing down 1st for the win, after being held up slightly. Managed to post my fastest ever time with a new PB on 56.9, but unfortunatly the bike had different plans and whent pop and seized coming past the pits. Day over for the 250 :-(
Race 1 and 2 on the 125 saw a mid pack finish, managing to stay on it for both races and take the chequered flag, with some good racing throughout both. A much needed sight after a few crashes on Saturday!
Thanks to Bill at DDR for the opportunity to race the 125! Frustrated with the crashes.......
Thanks David Andrew for the photo! Sums it up nicely 🤣🤣
Hopefully have the 250 rebuilt and ready for the next round for some more racing!
Thoughts go out to Michael Day who had a nasty highside on Sunday.
Hope you heal swiftly dude!
