Well a cracking weekend with YT and the fellow members that came to watch Friday test day wet wet wet wet so sucked it up banged wets on this is my first proper time on wets after 1 session at cadwell and I binned it . Me and tyke in same group what a laugh Anglesey Is either really grippy in the wet or my tyres were nailed to track me and tyke stuck together all the way around 5 sessions we got quicker and quicker and both knees down in the wet amazed totally thanks to YT for dragging me around ..... Oh I can't forget thanks for putting me on the grass yes I did shite myself YT ha ha .. Saturday qualifying drying track so whacked the d212 on and was looking forward to it started to rain 5 mins before my session oh shite but had to go out done a sort of sighting lap and all weekend there were 2 rivers running across corner 1 so thought stand bike up no throttle run through it which was fine come into 2nd corner heavy banking broke lost front then lost rear so foot down fully expecting bike to slide away but my left boot got stuck on peg or something and dragged me so stretched my leg hurting my groin not bad but but pulled in qualy 23rd . 1st race 8 laps wet tyres got a decent start but got to work on them more settled in and passed a few and was really enjoying it P13 2nd in class ...... Happy 2nd race 8 laps wet/drying Same as first race really but got a better start so sort of got to the back of the first pack I have still gotta get out the trackday mode and toughen up a bit more but race went well and was happy 3rd in class .... Happy again Sunday the sun came out went out for warm up damp patches and the 2 rivers still there so tootled round pulled in as out race wasn't until 11:48 . 3rd race dry 12 laps Decent start but that far back in the grid with poor qualy I just went as well as I could and thought start getting a feel for the zx6r found a few places and had a good battle with the norton and a R1 but my wrists are really giving me some grief after 10 laps or so a red flag came out so race finished . 3rd in class ..... Happy and sore 4th race dry 12 laps . Got probably my poorest start and couldn't get into a rhythm I was fooked ha ha so just thought finish race finish off a cracking weekend 4th in class Overall 3rd in class over weekend well happy Now I'm getting a feel for the bike gotta work on getting my lap times down they did drop all weekend and got better but need to get them down more . My confidence is building more and more Thanks to the forum boys for coming down to support me and YT Thanks to YT and Rob for having such a laugh gonna be a top runner our mark is cracking rider
Awesome results at the weekend matey! Can't wait to see the pictures from the weekend, some serious show boating in the wet to be viewed! Starting to look real good on the zx6 mate and in fairness to you the only guys left in front in your class are feckin quick as!!! Stick with it brother its all clicking into place. Had a right laugh with you and your dad as always, just need sugar bear to be there for Donny!!
Cheers buddy had a cracking weekend friend for life mate roll on Donny can't wait sugar bear will be there had a right laugh . Just wanna get quicker sort the smooth and get that smooth faster
Great write up mate. And good to hear its all coming together. What are those shiny silver things? Never seen any of them when I've been racing?
Jimbo's lookin for special silverware that he can make use of.........tankards, steins and pewters were words that i believe we're spoken aloud!
Not this year mate, little way of at mo tbh - but like to push on and challenge for a few next year. Mate I know how hard they are to come by, so well done, really chuffed for ya.
I'm going to be in Hottrax with Team Army Endurance next year (hopefully) and with Wedgie & Tyke already there it makes sense. Also the atmosphere in the Hottrax paddock is really good. Plus I'm racing at Donnington next month.
But think of the fuel saving! Lol I'd be up for swapping clubs if others were doing different if the dates and tracks suited. We have such a crack in the paddock it makes the weekend tbh - so if we could all tie up that would be ace. And a little competition is always a good thing We need to get tyke on a 1000 next year
Hi Skippy cheers buddy not as quick as i would of liked to get used to it but im having fun and gaining confidence all the time after my 2 big crashes. I think i will defo race the blade next year ashame for it too be sitting in garage doing nothing
