Oulton Park Results

Qualifying: 9th 2:08.64
Race 1: 8th 2:04.35
Race 2: 6th 2:05.26

We were first out in qualifying, and it had rained overnight
so there were still some wet patches around, hence the relatively
slow qually time.

By the time the first race came up it had been sunny almost all
day, so the track was nearly perfect. I got a blinding start but
was mugged as the "fast boys" disappeared from the off - I'm still
suffering from post-mallory-ejection stress and can't get my head
around going so fast so quickly. I was catching up on 7th place
but just didn't quite make it.

Second race was almost a repeat but got red flagged after 2 laps,
so we lined up again on the grid, so be told we were doing 7 laps
from the off. As our original race was only supposed to be 7 laps,
and we'd done one out lap and 2 race laps, I was worried about
having enough fuel as we run it quite tight. Luckily (or not)
the race was red flagged on the last lap and the results done on
a countback to the previous lap.

So a couple of good results which have put me back up to 7th in
the championship.

Next is Castle Doom^H^H Combe on 28th & 29th July.

Seconded.

As in the Chinese curse sense?

Personal best for bike and hill today at Loton . Within 2 tenths of the
road legal R1 on the first timed run [1](who had already done four runs
yesterday in similar conditions unlike me BTW). Then it rained and I was
faster on a still slightly damp track than he was but to no avail
points-wise.

[1] also within 3 tenths of my PB for this hill on any machine, so I may
not hang my boots up at the end of this season after all.

heh. Perhaps. I've never ridden the bike before, and I have a
significant vested interest in it being good. If it goes well, then
I'll be well set up for the MGP. If it doesn't it's going to be a
real downer.

What's happened to the gixxer six, then?

Oh, and 'pahnd', as no-one else seems to have noticed.

Best of luck. Hope you've got back on your pace by then.

It's parked in my garage.

While I think I could go faster this year than last on my 600, I
reckon I can faster still on a 4 year newer bike with 8 more bhp.

I guess. But if the old one's not up to the job, shouldn't you just
replace it?

I suspect he might have recently wasted the cash on a Saab powerboat.

Blimey. I didn't realise it was so friendly. I wanted to get along to
that one, with it being my most local track, but I'm still not up to
driving that far. The weather was pretty dodgy here for most of the
day, so I'm glad you got some good races.

"Wasted"? Not if the last Saab is anything to go by.

Can't afford to buy a bike with as high a spec as the ZX6.
