Victoria Winter Series Round 4
Track Day
The track day was good, mucked around with the forks on the KR. Rode the bucket until the fairing came loose. Steve let Simon and I have a go on his RS 125 wich was awesome fun.
Afer the track day had finished Robert Taylor from CKT gave a talk about suspension setup for race bikes, very good and helped me understand bike handiling more !
Race Day
Arrived at the track 8:00
Practice was dry with cold track conditions.
I followed behind Neil ( Niel Chappel RG 150 #176) for the first 2 laps then I past him down the back straight then I started to push a bit harder. I cauhgt up to Sam ( Sam Croft Ninja 250 #24) I stayed behind him so I could slipstream him down the straights to get faster times. I qulifyed 1st for Streetstock and forth on the grid with a time of 1:30.804.
Race 1 was dry with cool track conditions.
I got a good start past Dale (Dale Albrecht CBR250RR #79) into turn 1 he got back past coming out of the corner, entering turn five Neil and Sam passed me I past neil into dunlop next lap I past Sam into Dunlop then he passed me in to turn 1 then I got back past into turn 3, coming into turn 5 my bike had a big wobble and Sam passed me again then I past him into Dunlop then he passed me into turn 1. I backed off a bit because it was still cold.
I came 1st with a best lap of 1:29.081.
Race 2 was dry with warm track conditions.
I got a good start all most got past Dale had a good battle with Sam until he fell off , I found some places on the track the I could go faster through. I came 1st with a best lap time of 1:28.520.
Race 3 was dry with warm track conditions.
I got an awesome start Neil past me around the outside coming out of turn 5 I past him on the brakes into Higgens but he tried to pass me around the outside and he lent on top of me trying to make me back off but I stayed where I was so I could break away and catch up to Dale on the 250. I caught up to Dale, I could catch up to him through the infield but he would pull away down the straights. I came 1st with a best lap tim of 1:28.044.
