I could have Jonathan, but hey I had a bloody good race, happy to finish 2nd and for a hobby/holiday had a great time. Thanks to all those who worked hard on the bike and those who donated some finance to get me here.

A win at last!
Had to ride hard for it with Leon and Ben both getting past me at times. They are so much lighter than me that they are so fast on the straight that I have to ride round them in the corners. Marty ultimately took 3rd.
Morning warm up.
Got permission to run with cameras, not on track for long, and it was a bit chilly and greasy in places, but hopefully will have got some reasonable footage.

Qualifying.
After only a couple of laps in practice I wanted to go well in qualifying. Stayed dry and I was on pole for a while. Sat in pits for 10mins and dropped to 3rd. Went out with 5mins left. Managed to squeeze a bit from somewhere and on the very last lap improved just enough to snatch 2nd on grid from Leon with Marty on pole. Got warm up in the morning for the first time this year so may do some twiddling...
All sorted.
Luckily circuit maintenance department was working today; as the chap who welded it said "...it might not be pretty but it won't come out again."

That'll do.
Managed to get a decent start and finished 2nd. Did 3rd quickest time of race so lining up next to Dennis and Jonathan on the front row for tomorrow's race at 3pm.
Ready to rock...
Quick bit of spannering, some spit, polish and plenty of tape and we are ready to race. My 3 laps in this morning's qualifying have meant I ultimatlely ended up 10th on the grid. Race at 4.20pm.

Welcome to Donington
where it is wet and continues to rain. Forecast dry tomorrow so there really is no point going out for twenty minutes practice today. Everything to loose and nothing to gain...
