    Wedgie, jay is listed in the amended non qualifying section in race 5!

    I had heard they were having issues again with jays bike cutting out and were struggling to find out the cause! :(

    Jimbo seems to have settled in well throughout the day getting better n climbing up the grid. :)

    Thanks for all support. ;)

    Looking at the schedule its the endurance race lasting 3 hours that spaces the races out quite a bit! :)

    Thanks guys....

    Second race was amazing. Got swallowed up again at first two corners (needs addressing) and went from 8th to 14th I think but found my rythm and picked up few positions great battle for sixth.... But took 7th... Fella really kept me at bay despite my best efforts.

    Can't wait till tomorrow, and hopefully work on the start and keeping consistent.

    Great to see all the guys today and thanks for all the help!! and thanks for the messages! Full report to follow ;)

    So proud of jimbos performance today!! The second race he went out with a different gearing setup and new boots and was literally adapting to the changes while racing very hard! Think tomorrow is going to be really exciting with Jimbo getting quicker by the lap!! His bike is a bit down on power to the others which is masking how fast his pace really is! :D

    Gearing took a little getting used to but pulled sooo much better, allowed me to keep up on straight, even got someone on back straight ;)

    Can't wait to settle in to tomorrow and build on today :)
