I have to say that this event was one of the best events ive attended, it had a great atmosphere with all the crowd and the track was fun! There were a bunch of people that all helped out in the pits and we gave out so many LG posters, drinks sunshades etc there was LG everywhere you looked!
Speed-tech put a new clutch in there ZX10R this week and the bike felt a bit better but there maybe a few issues a tad deeper that will have to be sorted for next season.
I managed to get a couple of novice sighting laps and a couple more laps for practice then it was straight into race 1 due to the rain delayed start to the event.
Race 1,
I was pre seeded on the 2nd row so i managed a decent start, i followed hayden over the hill and he had a big moment and got right out of the seat nearly highsiding and i nearly followed as i layed on the power over the hill. Hayden got by Peter Tanner and i tucked in behind him. The pace was so much hotter then id been going in practice and i was still getting to know the track so i couldnt quite keep up. I set into a decent pace, the bike was dropping out of gear from time to time and this allowed Clee to rocket by about lap 5. I finished the race 6th happy with my progress
Race 2 (King Of The Streets)
With my time from the first race i qualifyed 7th, i got a bit held up on the start blocked in behind Lance Lowe. I managed to get by him in the first turn but it had left the door open for Morgan to get through. I followed morgan for a lap but outpowered him down the straight to slot into 7th behind Tanner. After a few close calls with tanner trying to pass cole tanner went a bit wide on turn 1 and allowed me underneath him. I set off after cole but couldnt make up enough time to get into a passing position so with the help of Haydens misfortune i ended up 5th
Race 3
I had CKT top up my fork level for this race which made a big difference to the front end (cheers robert) Another terrible start because of gearbox issues and i found myself in 9th around the first corner, i managed to get on the inside of Craig Frethey into turn 2 but he made a dive back on me into turn 3. Luckily i managed to shut the door but i was waiting for the hit... phew! I followed Lance Lowe for a lap or two but from what id heard i wanted to pass him once and once only, i got a better run down the front straight as he wheelied nearly the whole straight lol nice! and got him into turn 1. I could then see peter a few second up the road and id also found a solution to overcome my gearbox problems and that was to just do full throttle mx style shifting! I got right onto peters back wheel and made a move into turn 1, it was a bit of a risky move cause there was no way i would have been able to stop if he had shut the door but luckily he saw me and gave me some room, i held it to the line and again with Haydens mishap i got 4th place in the race and 5th place overall
