What a way to kick off the season! An absolute cracking weekend down at Lydden Hill! Great to have Ian Tennant in the chair again this season, never puts a foot wrong! Practice started off good getting in the groove again, 4th overall 1st in class.
Race 1. Started from the front row in 2nd place with the Meads pairing on pole. Got a great start and lead the race going into the first corner, a few of the kneelers came through and ended being a fairly lonely race but 12 laps was a killer! Finished 5th overall, 1st in class!🥇
Race 2. Got a good start, followed the Meads into the first corner and stayed behind for the first lap before they unfortunately pulled off the track. Set on after the kneelers in front but they were just too quick, ended up having a good battle with the Davenports on their F125 Aprilia which was great until our clutch started slipping so was a case on nursing it round to get it over the line. We still managed to just finish 7th overall, 1st in class!🥇
Race 3. We spent most of the evening putting a new clutch in for the two Sunday races. Sat on the second row, the sidecar in front of us had an issue so didn’t set off from the grid, so we didn’t get the greatest of starts. Got to the first corner behind 3 of the other bears, sat behind Jones/Howells for a few laps before getting a chance to get passed, up next were the Meads, we had a few goes at getting passed them but eventually got them to get behind the Birketts, followed them for a lap or two and managed to make a move into the left hander then a drag up the hill and sandwiched Cavey/Williams into the hairpin luckily we came away in front and set on after the Davenports just not enough laps to catch them! Finished 3rd overall, 1st in class!🥇
Race 4. Got a great start got into the first corner behind Whitaker/Feltham and stayed behind for a few laps, the Birketts made a move on us and we tried to get back passed them but they seemed to have the legs on us, so we weren’t able to make a move. Finished 3rd overall, 2nd in class!🥈
A big thanks to all officials, medics and of course the orange army and anyone else who is involved for making a meeting happen! Cadwell Park is up next!🏁
