Wet and dry - is making it a bit of a grim coaching day for my client. He doesn't have spare wheels so we are having to tread very carefully - so to speak.

So far today it has been overly warm but no rain. Practice was alright third behind Robbie and Marty Mutt; done a bit of twiddling for qualifying tomorrow. Coaching word seems to be getting round, three folk have called for tips today.

Did my best for Stu this morning and managed to get pole with Sean 2nd. With 53 bikes on track it was hard work getting a clear run. It'll be interesting to see how many end up on the grid as technically we're on the short track. Doing another race before the feature event to see if we can get the suspension set up a bit better.

Had a fab time, riding with Andy Muggleton and Dave Grigson. Just finished the day topping the qualifying sheet for the ACU350 with a 1.15.701.

Of 1.15.824. If I was Sean though on an RG500 I think after six laps I'd like to have won by a bit more than 5/100ths of a second from a TZ350 ;)

practice / qualifying session

Might struggle a bit with this one. Sean himself is not the issue - it's what he's riding!

Trying to sort out Andy and his transponder. He wants it as far forward as possible ready for the dash to the line!

I was dreading today's coaching as the weather forecast was lousy. I'm pleased to report so far we are enjoying a warm sunny day.
