Result DNF
Very wet again, lucky to have a race at all, the corn had still not been cut so it was a much shorter course than paul and steve had planned, got a good startand was running about 10th in a strong field of pros when i came in for fuel with my new quick fill can, i gave the bike a kick to go and the kick start would not engage so richie jumped into action and pushed me out the pits to bump start the bike, not really giving it another thought i carried on riding untill i dropped the bike in a deep corner and stopped and realised i had no chance of bump starting it on my own with all the mud, I stayed there untill chris hockey’s honda broke down next to me and we bumped started my bike. I rode back to the pits a retired. The track got cut up real bad so fair play to those who finished. Thanks to Flatout Racing for the quickfill can, it works a treat, nothing will quicker than that.
