GYG April 2010

Saturday, test day.

It was a bit cold at first but nice and sunny and it soon warmed up, I had a really good test day and in 2 sessions I broke the lap record and was looking foward to a good race day.

Sunday, Race day.

It was cold in the morning and a bit cloudy, the sun only came out every now and then so the track was slower than Saturday.

Qualifying.
I qualified 3rd with my teamates Johnny in 2nd and Cameron Roberts on his first day with the team on Pole.

Heat 1
I started 2nd and went straight to first place at the start and went on to win the race, but when we weighed in i was slightly under the weight limit so I was excluded, oops!

Heat 2
I started 2nd again and held my position at the start, I had a good battle with Johnny & Ross Martin and on the last lap I was second and as I planned to do a switchback on Johnny I left the door open for Ross to sneak up my inside, so I ended up 3rd.

Final
After the exclusion I was on P23 right at the back. On the start I made up about 10 places by the second corner and a few more by the end of the first lap, I then worked my way through the field and made a couple of mistakes letting people back past me which cost me valuable time, I got clear of the pack and started to chase down Ross Martin, I was nearly 1/2 a second a lap quicker but there were not enough laps left to catch him, I finished 4th.
