Hi everyone… This weekend was the maxxis British championship at Hawkstone park. When we arrived at the track it was perfect and probably the best prepared I have seen it for a long time. Qualifying on Sunday morning didn’t go to plan really, when the board turned for timed training i had a problem with my clutch so therefore I had to pull off and swap bikes loosing time to get a quick lap in early as the track gets rougher each lap. I managed to get a time in and ended up 28th which was ok.
First race i got an ok start and was riding ok and I got myself up to 20th after about 10 minutes and I stayed there up until 2 laps to go when Jamie Lewis passed me. I ended up 21st which I was gutted about as I really wanted to score a point.
Race 2 again i got another ok start and was battling through but 3 laps in i lost my back brake, I tried to carry on for a couple of laps but I was really struggling coming down the big hill. On lap 6 I had to pull out of the race. I was gutted about the weekend really as wanted to get some points. my next big race is the British four stroke at Blaxhall pits. Hopefully i will have a better weekend there. Ash #82
