Something isn’t quiet right with me. I can’t seem to put my finger on it, but all good fun. I decide the tyre is a likely cause of a not quiet right feeling so swap it for the second race. I was hoping to keep it for the final day as Mallory is a bit abrasive now they have resurfaced it

Well I buggered this one up well and truly. I got giddy on the brakes on the way into Edwina’s and be it the new tyre not being grippy enough at the time or still having release agent on it… who knows. Most likely me being rubbish.

I needed to be more agressive at the start and not get held up and settle into the rythm of the 1000cc bike I got caught behind in the qualifier. A glimmer of “racer attitude” on display here.

Starting to feel the track now. I have a plan of attack and adjustments to my riding are working

Proper fun. Got to stay insight of regular trophy scorers and was quicker in many places. Just that damn hairpin… Oh and got to revisit the fun racing with Paul on his FJ. It’s been too long since I could see which way you went fella 😉

Now that was a battle. You can’t see it but one of the bikes I pass is all over me due to the rubbish way I take the hairpin. I let this video run a bit longer at the end as apparently I upset one of the blokes lapping me. As to how I don’t know. I am in a race, there are no blue flags, the gap to the bike ahead was never going to be closed if you where held up by me after the hairpin… Quiet frankly I can’t see it myself. Anyone wish to comment feel free. I don’t like interfering with someone else’s race but I was in my own fight and didn’t hold the other up.

Do you have anything you'd like to add?
