2009 Rd1 - 21/22nd March

Post by coullstar »

Round 1 this weekend folks. Format has changed slightly with a new S3 (250's) class and we are now racing both Sat and Sunday.

Only just managed to get a couple of hours on the bike last week, first time on it since Oct so I was a tad rusty. Two punctures and an inoperable slipper clutch havent helped matters.

Free to watch, its not quite road racing levels. If youve not been before go past the airfield and its on the right. There is a sign for ESKC. Just follow the windy road down past the fence and you'll see it on the left.

Well not a good start to thr year :x . Lovely weather, bike running good, confidence was high. Good to see some other Aberdeenbikers taking part as well.
Qualifying went well and finished up 9th. 1st race, first corner, got round but it was affy tight and I ended up getting pushed into someone which ended with me going head over tail and slamming my head/hip onto the kerb. Bit dazed and confused, ended up in the nee naw and couldnt move my right hand. Drove myself to Ninewells, broken finger, thats me out for about 6 weeks :log .

Thanks to Phill and W111PAC for helping me get my stuff put away :2up .

Thanks, I was definitely confused yesterday as I dont know my left from my right. Clutch hand fubar'd. Was like an old man last night, couldnt even get out of the chair in front of the TV :log

Went down today and Phill was doing good on the CR till he had a wee off as well. Was hoping to do the first round of the British in two weeks but thats a non event now. Will have to wait and see what its like for the WC run as well.
