Hi everyone… This weekend was rd 6 of the maxxis British championship at Foxhills.
The track was in perfect condition and looked great for racing.
Qualifying was a disaster!!! The times was really close and my fast lap had me in 32nd right until the very last lap then out of nowhere 5 people behind me put in faster lap times by less than half a second pushing me out of the qualification. I was gutted!!!
I went out in the first non-qualifiers race and was 2nd out of the gate and fell off on the first lap. I dropped back to 11th and bent my clutch lever. I really wanted to win so I put my head down and charged through managing to take the win on the last corner.
Race Two I managed to get in the main race as 2 people had dropped out. I got an ok start and was riding good battling through the top end of the 20s. About ¾ into the race a big stone hit my chin and cut it and that put me off for a couple of laps as I could feel the pain and blood running down my chin. With 2 laps to go I was 21st and could see 20th in front of me. I put my head down and tried my hardest to overtake him for a point and set my fastest lap of the race on the last lap but unfortunately I was unable to make the pass and finished 21st. overall it wasn’t a good weekend for me and I really need to work on getting better at qualifying ASH # 82
