Will keep it short.
Only doing F2 this year go out for qualifying, POLE BABY ahead of Pete Tanner and Jamie Galway.
Jamie would not be racing due to nasty crash on the final lap of practice.

Race 1
Wet track try for the hard launch hit start line heaps of wheel spin back to 7 or 8 to turn one, manage to fight my way to 3rd over all but dicing for 1st in f2 with young Travis. He got me but still happy.

Race 2
Better start, Travis and I gap the rest of field, he had a slight lead that I was not keen to make any stupid moves to catch him so settle for 2nd again. all about the points.

Race 3
Drys on and few changes to the front end. Way better start on the dry track little battle with travis again but manage to get past and make it stick and start pulling away in 1st. Mark Bennett has a cracker up his bum and comes past then it starts pissing down. Red flag 2nd again.

Race 4
Wets on very tired, average start and dont think I had faith in the wets. Down to 5th or 6th after turn one Travis buggers off in 1st. I pick back a couple of places get in to third and start tearing down second. Went to pass him on the big sweeper on the extension but as I got right behind him lots of spray pretty much blind, Oh well ill let him have that so 3rd.

2nd for the round and regained some points after last months shocker.

Massive thanks to the people that made it happen.
TSS red baron, Air flowe panel and paint, Forbes & Davies, Robert Taylor @ CKT big ups to you all. All the people that were there helping in the pits, and on the phone between races means alot and will see you all next round.
BRING ON THE DRY!!

I shit you not. This is the GPS track from the phone I stuffed down Luke's leathers.

There must be a better app. From what I could figure it wasn't updating often enough to be accurate. OR, the awesomeness that is Mair disrupts satellites.

Kudos to you Mair the younger. The action I got to see between cleaning Girrlracers bike was great.

Yup. Those look like typical Mair lines. What's the issue?

Didn't Drew warn you about that one?
There was something about being on the wrong side of a tyre wall, I believe...
