With a few more missed gears I was stuck behind slow traffic and just couldn't get passed finishing the someplace as I originally started from. However I had improved my lap tims by over 2 seconds due to the battle. Top racing Miles.

Overall, a top weekend met some lovely people, enjoyed following Skids round and racing against / with Miles. Thanks to everyone that helped me, especially Julie, Simon W and Mossy. Roll on Snett.

Great fun for me too- just what i came to dd for- close battles with similar machines and riders- didn't realise you from right side of border too- look forward to more like that- see you at snetterton...

Hopefully at Snett. Yes I'm from Yorkshire, but live in North Wales on Angelsey. There are some top photos of our battle on the BSP web site. That's why I also came to DD, it's not all about the battles at the front is it?!!!

now entering my 3rd season and from being lapped to do a little bit at the front myself, 'battles' have been ever present. For me, its why I race; not to go fast, not to do laptimes, not for cups (altho thats nice ) its for close racing and 'beating' those around me or bashing the tank in frustration coz I got pipped

Thats why I went up to A class

And long may it continue

Race 1 I thought I was repeating last years tail end finishes, but had actually split the field and ran a lonely race. Hope to up my game next round, still having concentration issues, damn that gravel

Pleasure to meet some of the new guys, steve and miles, will try to be more sociable at snetterton
