| Rattler\'s quickish Cadwell report Rattler's quick Cadwell report...... A quick(ish) report of DD races 10 and 11 at Cadwell from a Rattler perspective....... Qualifying - mood - cautious - practice - none - plan - learn fast - weather - lots of it - health - feeling old - scrutineering - flew through - fatigued - yep, as usual - approach - 3 gentle laps then nail it!! - bike #21 - warmed and ready - visor - clear - vison - unclear - action - try to get a top ten grid spot!! Race 1 - mood - pensive - health - too late to care!!! - plan - go flat out - approach - be brave!!! - start - fair - red-flagged - argh!!! - conditions - dry - cool - approach - battling - riding - charging!!!! - finish - 7th!! best I could do ! - battled - with Phil - fablus! - performance - great race, poor technique - action, get food and painkillers!! Race 2 - mood - expectant - approach - get decent start - focus - plan - better race one result - start - poor (again!!!!) - sh|t !!! - pace - tried really hard, too far back - tyres - shot, sliding out of most corners!! (schoolboy error) - battling - with Chris - great tussle! - finish - 9th, not ideal, but OK - overall - dissapointed Summary Not knowing Cadwell very well and missing any practice there meant my expectations were low - great race in race 1 with Phil, but "charging" into bends led to poor corner and exit speed. Race 2 battle with Chris was great too, he block passed me into the hairpin late on and I got him back on the straight - he then went grass tracking for a while!!! Great tussle though. A 7th and 9th were fair and should have been enough to get me to 6th in the final standings, but Ian's 2 great 2nds meant he leap-frogged me into 6th - great work Ian. A final placing of 7th met my pre-season objectives of a top ten finish, and pleased me as my early season form was very poor. Highlights of Cadwell for me, were; Battles with Phil and Chris. Dom getting a decent result - at last!! Phil getting third in the champs (close to second too)- fablus! Nick showing some great style too - nice one b'stard  So for next year? There's quite a difference between a sorted 620 and a standard 620 - where's Nelly's number Gotta get faster, quicker, fitter, stronger!!! Bring it on!!!!! Tim  |
