Venue: Canada Heights

Result: 3rd Championship class

With Kurt and his crew organising this event at the famous Moto X circuit it was always going to be a great race. Because of prize money it had attracted an all star front row with Paul, Fast Eddy and special Greg Evans, and Ollie Moyce, to name a few! The organisation was excellent and we signed on at 10:30 and scrutineered. The race started bang on 1pm and I got away well although I could not see much in the dust on the first few corners. I settled into my rhythm quite early and was posting consistent lap times in 6th place (just in the money). I felt really comfortable on the bike and it was handling really well. Richie was doing a great job on the pit board keeping me up to date with my position and telling me when I needed to push. At my fuel stop I had got up to 5th and just kept the pace up. I managed to get up to 3rd by the 3 hour mark which I was really pleased with, Bolter 1st Ollie 2nd and me 3rd. A lot of riders struggled with the heat and dehydration so it was a good test for the ISO² nutrition drink, I had drunk plenty of it pre and during the race and the heat and dust didn’t affect me at all. So thanks to those guys. /I now have a convincing lead in the South East H&H championship. The bike is going really well and I am enjoying riding it. Thanks to Richie, Poole Motorcycles and Kurt for putting on a great race event.
