Great days racing yesterday in Kirkistown.
Great to get back out at Kirkistown I haven't raced here since 2020 so had to try remember which way to go 🤣
Qualifying was a lovely and wet so had to take my time and stay upright.
Classic p3
125/moto3 p5
Classic race
It was still a bit damp in places so just steady away went down to p5 at one stage for a few laps and then on the last two laps I put the head down and managed a p2 overall and p1 in class. I got the fastest lap also, so was starting on pole for race 2. Race 2 I led from the very beginning and just got quicker as the race went on so p1 overall and p1 in class.
125/moto3 race
Got a good start but them young ones just cleared off and left me by the 3rd corner. Was a quiet race but good to get up to speed and familiarise myself with the track. With a few of the leaders crashing I came home with a p3. Race 2 got a good start was up to p3 into the fist corner but again was shown how to properly ride a bike 🤣 I was able to keep them in sight for a few laps this time though so I suppose that's something. So p5 in race 2.
Overall a great weekend and good to get back out. Huge thank you to Riz Mike at ARN Race Leathers who supplied me with a custom set of race leathers for the season ahead. Great fit and so easy to move around in.
As always a huge thank you to my family who are always by my side. And to all my sponsors.
