Ill keep it short, got down saturday night and set up so could watch the racing Sunday. Watched some then had to hide from the sun. Monday came and full of expectation i headed out for qualifying, struggled to keep any pace never riding the track before and then the bike decided it had done enough and stopped on the start finish straight. Went out in the allcomers for some more practice and would you believe it the bike concked out on the 5 lap on the start finish! We think it was a faulty return valve.
Onto the DD races, starting from 25th i think when the lights went out i was in reverse. Managed to battle past team mate Shane and then tried to catch 96. While doing so thinking its all going swimmingly BANG! right hand fairing has come off and is twisting all the fairing was rubbuing on the front wheel. After shitting myself at the bottom of the straight thinking i was going to die i pulled in and got my first race DNF
The second race my aim was to see a chequred flag! something i had seen all day! had another **** start then battled at the back of the grid. moved a couple of places then gradually got closer to 61 thinking the last lap and ill do it then valentino shepard flew past me (is his bike a 1098 in disguise!) and my heart sunk, not only was it the first time id been lapped but i didnt have the extra lap to get past 61!
Packed up and got on the 4 hour journey home and when i thought the weekend couldnt get any worse my brother rings me to tell me some ****s stolen my fireblade!
To be perfectly honest snetterton is a meeting id just like to forget!
I like mallory though so fingers crossed for a better weekend!
