the last two weeks have been pretty hectic with croft and then straight to the north west 200 so its nice to be back home and get back into my training program. croft started off OK with 2nd position in free practice but with some changes we ended up eighth on the grid which was disappointing. race one was mixed conditions and i took to long to get in the grove so the leaders got the break and we ended up on ninth.
race two and after a bad performance in race one i was twelfth on the grid which was going to be hard work with the grid position but i got a decent start and with a brave first lap i was eighth and catching seventh also battling with my team mate i got up to sixth only to be run of the track and dropped back to ninth but managed to fight back to seventh. all in all not a good weekend but still decent points.
the northwest 200 started ok with Tuesday nite practice being slightly damp but it give me a good chance to go steady and learn the track so to be in eighth at the end of the session left me feeling happy with my evenings work. thursday was a hour long session in the day time which unfortunitally started with stuart easton having a massive crash. so that wastn the nicest way to start the day and i wish him a speedy recovery but the show had to go on, we tried a new dual compound tyre which didnt seem to hook up but we got some good info and were ready to make some steps forward for the race on staurday. which as you all know was wet and the rest of the day was cancelld so i hope to go back in 2012 and get some mega dry weather and get some good racing.. chat soon lee
