Had a fantastic weekend, the AMCC realy pulled this together, heaps of bikes and the most spectators ive ever seen at a track event. Awsome track,
Qualifiying,
After waering the tires in for the frist practice session i had to go for it, Alex bowers kept me on my toes and pushed me on, The bike is new to me and the suspension hadnt been changed from road so it was very bouncy in the fornt. I qualifyed 4th on the grid with a time on 1.31 sec, i was pleased as i was on the fornt row with Jason cameron on the other hyosung.
RACE 1
Got an average start, followed alex for awhile then jumped at his mistakes and overtaking him coming into turn one. I worked on pushing the hyousng harder and harder, pulling away from alex and getting my self away from any threats. I came 4th with a best time of 1.30 sec
RACE 2
Got an excellent start, stayed with Gavin veltmeyer and Jason cameron this time for abit, they made me faster, The front forks were abit springy so they didnt handle the out of corner power very well. Had the back sliding out into turn 2 which was abit of fun. Was by myself though, as id pulled away from Alex but wasnt close enough to Gavin to rival him. Again i came 4th but droped my time down to a low 1.29.
Overal im haPPY, my first time on this new and very different bike. I very certain its going to be a weapon in the winter series as im alot quicker on it and it fits me perfectly.
Also Thanks Hyosung nz for there help, and getting the bike & parts in time.
Best race meeting ive done yet, excellent meeting AMCC!
