Race 1: 3rd
Race 2: 5th
Race 3: 2nd
Race 4: 1st

Well that was an interesting weekend😂

Qualifying was a disaster. I have to give Gordon Donaghy his due for not punching me after I tried to overtake him into railway and wiped him out in the second lap. In hindsight, I should’ve just had a bit of patience and waited for an opportunity seeing as it was just qualifying. I qualified 13th which set up a challenge for the rest of the weekend.q

There was a rush to fix the bike on time for the first race, massive thank you to Kenny and Mike for their help. I started in 13th in every race of the weekend. In the first race, I was happy to come 3rd considering how the morning went.

In race 2 I had a bad start and was still a bit hesitant on the overtakes, ended up taking 5th place.

On Sunday I woke up feeling back to normal. In race 3, I had a good start and managed to work my way up to second place by lap 3. In the end, I could not close the gap between me and Daniel but was happy with second place seen as I came from 13th.

The last race of the weekend was the best one. Started in 13th again and came all the way up to second in the first lap. Daniel Cooper was absolutely flying this time, but I managed to get past him in the last lap which was a great way to salvage a weekend that started as a complete disaster.

Massive thanks to Kenny and Mike Robb for coming to help on Saturday. We wouldn’t have made it to the next race without them. Also just want to say congratulations to Daniel cooper racing #12 for his first pre injection race win. You were on form all weekend.

Race Report!

Qualifying: 6th
Race 1: 1st
Race 2: 2nd
Race 3: 1st
Race 4: 1st

Knockhill in reverse for a change this weekend. Got a good practice in on Friday which helped get the times down.

As usual, I was cautious in the rain and ended up qualifying 6th. Pulled it back up to first in the first race of the weekend after a great start.

As for race 2, I led the race until the second last lap when Alan McGregor came up the inside of me at the hairpin and landed me in 2nd.

Sunday started off rainy so we had a quick tyre change which is always hectic. We originally started with wets, changed the rear to a dry, and a few minutes before the race started, we decided to hell with it, we’re putting on the slicks.
I started the race in 6th again. I got to third position by about half way through the race. At that point there was a 5 second gap to make up but managed to make it back up to first in the last lap of the race.

I’d like to thank Susan Kerr and Susan Bruce for the practice sessions. Definitely helped me get a feel for the track in reverse again.
Big thanks to Kenny and Mike Robb for the help with the suspension.
And as usual, a big thank you to Shirlaws for the sponsorship and support.

Race Report!

Qualified pole
Race 1 - 2nd
Race 2 - 1st
Race 3 - 1st
Race 4 - 1st

Started the weekend off in misty condition’s which made the track greasy. It was a game of survival but felt much better in qualifying when I got pole.

For the first race I decided to go out on slicks. The fog was so thick I was actually getting wet riding through it. Before the race, we decided the main thing was to bring the bike home and secure championship points, so that’s what we did, settling for 2nd.

Race 2 was in much better conditions. The track was completely dry and we lead the race from start to finish getting 1st.

On the Sunday the weather was much better and the track was in ideal conditions. In the first race I had a good battle once again with Daniel Cooper and won by 2 seconds.

And finally, in the 2nd race I didn’t get the best start but was leading after the first lap and ended up coming 1st by 7.5 seconds. I found out later from weir bike sport I broke the east fortune 10 lap race record.

Massive thanks to Kenny and Mike Rob for the help as always. They made some massive improvements to the bike this weekend making my job a lot easier. Also thanks to Steven Hen Reid for helping through out the weekend.

As usual, thanks to all the sponsors. Must be the Shirlaws stickers making the bike faster.
