brands report...........
much better for me, qualified a best of season 10th which i was well happy with. for once i thought i did myself justice in qualifying and could have gone a bit quicker with a clear track.
kind of thought i would throw my good grid postition away at the start of each race, which i duely did.
my starts are ok but i lose out on the first couple of bends. i now know why this is and will sort it out.
finished 13th in race 1 and 16th in race 2.
bit dissapointed losing places but at least i know why and still my best performance of the season. enjoyed some good overtaking and race 2 in particular was great fun. even non biking friends spectating said it looked like proper close racing; being overtaken then taking them back etc.
still lots to learn but im sorting out some problems and coming upon others but improving all the time and i recon its getting more competitive so overall im happy.
still looking for the elusive top 10. brands really was my chance with my qualifying position but i'll keep at it. cadwell maybe?
