Saturday 22nd.

Great to be out on the track racing again it seems a lifetime ago since 2015 !!! 

My own stupid little mistakes thru out the day took away any hope I had of setting a respectable time in qualifying and then running wide in the race after I'd picked up a couple of places dropped me back down again, was getting more and more comfy on the 400 but with the meeting then cancelled due to oil on the track we have to wait till tomorrow to have another play, got my signature stayed on and had far to much fun which at this stage is the only thing that matters.

Sunday 23rd

New Rubber going in ready for today,

Davey Gravy Cain did a good job in his first race, Lowered his times down to 1.25.270.
And looking as if he finished second 400 home, Well done Grommet !

Well that's the curtain come down on a belting weekend !!! 

It's been a mixed bag to be honest gutted I only got to do 2 instead of the 4 races entered but oil yesterday and a incident on the final corner on the last lap of my race cut both days short thankfully am told both riders involved are ok and walked away. 

After yesterday's mistakes today was a lot more about learning from them and trying to improve although the dropped oil from Saturday was still a issue as it was on the racing line for at least 3 corners more mind over matter but if you see dust down you don't cross it whilst cornering but after a few qualifying laps it was ok as you knew to stay wide of it.

Qualified 2nd in my class and was buzzing as I was not expecting that at all after yesterday luckily certain people didn't let it go to my head but then I Bogged it down at the start of the race and lost all that good work and dropped a few places but was great learning from them as they've been racing for years got past them and was very very happy to bring it home 2nd in my class (that's 12 points to me) and more importantly I felt so much happier on the bike today it was unreal the difference 24 hours can make.

Would just like to take the time to thank everyone who has mucked in and helped this weekend and even getting me here far to many to mention but I'll give it a go Mike Cain for the putting the bikes underneath me and standing by me Anne Cain as mums the word without her permission I wouldn't be out there Paul Cassidy not only for the van share but also for all your help and assistance over the 2 days Mike C Cowin for the help yesterday whilst also getting the photos Terry Boyd for your ongoing support plus all the other people who have helped getting us to this point without your support me Mike Cain and Yvonne aka Wallace and the boss wouldn't be here to update this page thank you all so so much.
