WESTON BEACH RACE
Sunday, October 12th, 2008Venue: Weston super-mare
Result Not sure
The biggest entry of bikes on the calender by far, in excess of 1000 bikes, what a crazy race, with the high chance of wrecking a bike it was decided a few months back that I would not ride my race bike as we are off to the isle of man nine days later so richie prepared me a 2007 bike and with a few mods she was ready to go. I was not seeded this year so I got down there early and got a good position in the park ferme and on the day managed to get to the beach around 40th so was in a fairly good position. I was running standard gearing so a few got past me on the mile and a quarter start straight, I got to the first dune and it was clear and got over it, the second and third dunes were no problem and then I got taken out at the forth, no problem had another go and got over. I then settled into the race and was making good progress, easily in the top 50 when on the 4th lap my engine seized up at the end of the straight, very disappointed but not really that surprised as it has done a lot of hours. The weekend was excellent and the night life was as good as always, and some sights to been seen (Paget), Thanks for sorting the bike out rich sorry I wrecked it
