This weekend I headed to one of my local tracks Brookthorpe Motocross Track with Severn Valley Motocross Club.
Saturday morning – I woke up and did a track walk as it was my first time this year riding there. I liked the layout of the track and the track conditions looked good.
Practice/qualifying – went out, enjoyed the track with the deep ruts even though the track was really wet I managed to qualify 3rd.
1st race – had a good start! 5th out the gate. Got the feel of the track and the conditions, finishing 3rd.
2nd race – out the gate in 3rd place and stayed in 3rd for the whole race.
3rd race – gate didn’t drop properly, so a second late coming off the line but by the time I came to first corner I was in 3rd. I stayed in 3rd for the rest of the race.
Sunday – hoping I can get the same position today as I did yesterday.
Practice/qualifying – went out got the fell of the track and qualified 6th.
Race 1 – hole-shot out the gate, mega start! Then slipped up and got over taken putting me back into 3rd. First place rider crashed out! So I then chased down first place! He crashed coming into the corner on the 3rd lap, putting me into 1st place, and that is where I stayed for the rest of the race. Came off the track, I was absolutely buzzing with that race and result.
Race 2 – didn’t have a great start but managed to push my way through and by the 2nd lap I was in 3rd place. I managed to stay in 3rd and hold off 4th place who was right on me. Finishing 3rd.
Race 3 – I had a rubbish start! Managed to make my way through and got to 7th by the first lap. I worked hard to make my way through the riders and managed to finish 5th.
Overall I really enjoyed my weekend and felt really good on my bike after having the engine rebuilt and only getting it back Friday afternoon. I came away with 2nd overall for the whole weekend.
