Well there was no racing anywhere else so when i got a call mid week from a friend (Alex Burroghs) with an opertunity to have a play on his Ducati 1098 in the BEARS class i grabbed it!
The bike was still all dressed in its stupidly expensive road gear so I was a tad nervous to say the least! Anyway we got practice out of the way and I was chosen for pole position as there was no official timing.
1st Race
I started at the front and pretty much just did what i needed to stay in front, the bike was far from set up for me and i was struggling with the front end so i just made the most of the power advantage and took the win
2nd Race
Again starting from the front made life easy but Melcom Bell passed me on lap 2, I followed him for a bit and pulled up beside him on the back straight but let him back through for a couple of laps to have a bit of fun but he was starting to pull a gap through the infield on the ncr so i decided to make the most of the power of the 1098 and passed him down the backstraight and put my head down for a lap or so, mel eventually backed off so i wouldnt throw his mates duke down the road and i took the win comfortably
All in all it was a fun day, my day was made when i got to take out the zx10 and feel some real power in the demonstration ride
