2010 Bike Rider Magazine Summer Series Rnd 4

Between this round, and round 3, we had Kerry Dukic work his magic on my stock GSXR 1000 forks, and we also fitted braided lines to the front brakes! Tested the bike out at the MotoTT trackday the day before - what a difference, it felt like a totally different bike!!!

F1 Practise: I love Track 2! I got out just behind Tony Rees and tried to put in some good laps, the track was still a bit cold but I managed 4th on the grid with a time of 1:15:840.

F3 Practise: We had some NEW slicks on the SV and it handled like it was on rails!! Managed a 2nd on the grid with 1:15:315. 

F1 Race 1: Got off the line well, but again I let off the gas too soon and lost about three places by turn one. Had a great time battling for places and managed to get across the line 5th with a best time of 1:13:012.

F3 Race 1: I really have to keep the throttle open for longer at the starts as I'm losing places all the time. I had a ball battling with Russell Josiah, getting him on the last lap going into turn one. I nearly high-sided at turn five, getting on the gas just a little too early - I thought Russell would get his place back, but I crossed the line 2nd in F3 with a best time of 1:15:523.

F1 Race2: I really stuffed the start of this when I stalled on the line and was last of the grid and into turn one - cursing at myself in my helmet, I went hell for leather, stuffing it in where ever I could. It was just the kick in the pants I needed as it was by far the best race of the day, seeing me cut from last in the field, to 5th across the line with a best time of 1:14:610.

F3 Race 2: I tried really hard to hold my place into turn one - it's a dog fight going in there!! Had an absolute blast in this race, managing another 2nd in F3 with a time of 1:15:700

All in all, a great day of racing!

A huge thank you to Peter Harkess, MotoTT, Chris Mitchell Motorcycles, Acacia Bay R&R, Kerry Dukic and everyone who stopped in the pitts and cheered us all on - you all rock, and your help and good wishes means the world to me. Thank you all so very very much!!!
