Well, i went up to the track on the friday, i wasnt going to ride, instead i was going to watch and help, it was a wet awful day, glad i wasnt out.

SAT:
I got up sat morning and went out to the track, i got to watch all the classes go out before us, so it was a good chance to watch others and see where the track was bad. i got into my gear and told Steve wot i would like done to my bike, I got my suspension a bit softer and of course wet tyres on.
I went out to qualifying and just took my time looking around I picked up the pace and before i no it the session was over.
2ND

RACE 1
I went out in race one and got a good launch but just managed to bog a bit, went into the first corner 2nd, i got a bit out of line a few times going into the hairpin letting luke through. BUGGER
it was great, the wets are great ive never felt so confident, dragging my knee all over the show.
i finished the race in 2nd, i was happy.

RACE 2
Race two we had a crash just after the start, resulting in a red flag, we had to pull into the pits, while in the pits I got Steve to tighten a bolt on my shifter, i went back out for the full restart, and had to start of the back of the 125's (because i had assitance in the pits, penilty was start at back of class), anyway i went to line up on the the back of the 125's but instead the people gridding got it wrong and i had to start with street stock 150's, (wasnt happy) i watched the 125's get of around the first corner and out of site, from my start with the 150's i went my heart out, catching up and pssing kyle, and quickly catching up to luke and jadden. i ran out of time and got 3rd, was happy with my ride and the bike the crew set up.

I would liike to thank My crew for the out standing help and support

Steve Bagshaw
Mike Reps
Along with the suppliers that have made it all possible:

That was bloody awesome riding. I don't think I got have done that after the cock-up with the gridding. Would have been too pissed off the ride right.
