Racing thoughts...

Reflecting on my weekend....and the future..

I went in to Snett, feeling good (bit of a cold)....

I had decided that 4 wins from 4 races would get me 2nd in the championship.

How my mind went...

Mistake one - running away from the pack on lap one, hot into the last corner, run wide and didn't power on early enough to pull it in line, and should have backed off and ridden it out on the rumbles rather than try and power across them and the grass back to the track.

Mistake two - I had Andy very close behind me and was determined to get Eric between him and I prior to last lap banzais. Coram, tried twice around the outside of Eric, no good, committed very early to the inside next lap and ....bang...think I should have continued around the outside and just been more committed to outbreak him into the last chicane?

I need to learn from these two incidents for next year.

I can only imagine the speed of thought and decision making the 'top level' racers process.

I have a feeling Class A 620 might just be a little 'hot' next year.....
