After having a fabulous day on friday, grinning in my helmet the whole time, race day rolled round
It was wet but not raining, I have to admit I dont particularly like in between!!
I qualified pretty poorly, couldnt get past a 250 that got away from me on the straights but held me up in the corners
Think I qualified about 11th
Race 1
Start was a bit shit but managed to get into turn 1 in front of quite a few people, was riding quite well, felt ok from the test day, especially dunlop! Even the back section was going quite well, I wasn't such a pansy on that corner with the patch!!
Gareth passed me and was riding really well! Ryan passed me and I passed him back in the back hairpin. Coming down the front straight of last lap gareth runs wide in turn one (his back brake got jammed on) I continue, coming into higgins Ryan is on the outside of me, we both brake late, i start to tip in, he hits me and then in lying on the outside of the track, stuck under my bike!
I couldn't lift it off me because my arm was fucked! Think I hit my head too and was knocked out for a few seconds
Wasn't too sore but got progressively worse
Palmy ED managed to process me really quickly, guess because there is sweet FA they can do about a broken in a few pieces shoulder blade but give you a sling and some sweet painkillers.
As always thanks to Billy/racefairings.co.nz my lovely sponsor who gives me a bike to ride
The lovely ambo staff.....they pushed me into the ambulance even with much protest from me saying I was fine!
All the people that came and asked how I was
The marshall that got the bike off me
So my first broken bone is out the way.....I would love to be back for next round though that may be a bit wishful....we will see what the fracture clinic says next week.
Mostly Im gutted about being robbed of my what would have been 5th place in all of streetstock!!!
