| Looking around when I first got there I was disappointed with the track. What the f*@# are the two jumps down the hill about . Heat race – Good start and rode around and finished 2nd. MX1 – Ok start around 5th – Passed a few and was then in 3rd. I then made a few mistakes and got arm pump and fell back to 5th which is were I finished. A little disappointed . 1st A race – Peg 26. I started on the far out side. I got a great jump and gave it the big blast around the outside into the first turn and was in around 6th into the second corner. I passed a few riders and worked my way into 3rd. I then had a great race with Dave Alderton who passed me around one of the many tight corners. I settled down after making a few mistakes to take 4th . 2nd A race – Peg 1 happy days . I got a good start and was again in 3rd by half way before loosing a couple of places towards the end of the race, The dust had become a problem in the closing laps and the track got a little better as it got rougher. I finished in 5th . Today was a good result finishing 3rd Overall but the track was very disappointing . Congratulations to Olly on his first A group win. | |

| Had a poor day yesterday realy, due to not being able to breathe very well and feeling terrible with a sinus infection Crashed a few times in practice and felt terrible so was gonna pack up and go home, but decided to just take it easy and not get out of breath. Cruised the heat race to qualify C. Missed the MX1 to try and sort my head out and get some balance back. First C race and i went off the start half heartedly and rounded the first few laps in about 15th or so. After about 4 laps i didn't feel quite as bad so picked it up a little and passed a few riders to finish 9th. Without getting out of breath i didn't feel too bad, still dizzy and snot down my face though 2nd C race, i decided to start a bit quicker and slow down during the race if i needed to. Got a good start and rounded the first few laps in second. Felt very comfortable at that speed but started the heavy breathing and decided to cool it off a bit. One chap came past but there was a gap behind me then so i just cruised round to finish 3rd. Not too bad really considering. 6th Overall on the day and a mini trophy, and a few points for the championship. Hope i feel better for the next meeting so i can push for front of B group again. | |

| I'm on a bit of a roll at the moment and was really fired up for the meeting after the previous weekend at Folxholes where I got my first UMX overall win and finally got my expert points. Walked the track and was dissapointed with the "grading" and new "jumps" Still, the sun was shining and racing to be had so was looking forward to it. Practise was terrible, came off three times and the bike felt like I had 2 flat tyres. All over the place with no grip and little confidence. Qualifying was much better. Pulled the holeshot and lead from start to finish. Tried some new lines and the grip was a bit better now all the loose stuff had been pushed aside. 2Stroke race and pulled another holeshot. RM250 2stroke with a Golden Tyre on the rear Had to really work hard in this race as Kevin Murray on his YZ pushed me all the way. He got passed and started to gap me as he was riding really smooth with some great lines. But he then dropped it at the bottom of the big hill and I got through. It was close for the last few laps but I held him off to take the win. A1 and I pulled peg number 1. Cool, first time I've had a decent peg for ages. Got a good gate pick and blasted another great holehot with Rob Whiting pushing hard round the outside. Lead for the first couple of laps but then Rupert Heaton closed me down. He was all over me and eventually made the pass. I got him back on the same lap as I had a very fast line on the run back up to the finish and passed him over the jump. I rode hard and had to be defensive to keep him behind me but held him off to take my first ever Hampshire A-Group win. A2 and pulled peg numer 27 which is my birthday so was OK with it. Got an OK gate pick and blasted another perfect holeshot. 4 out of 4. Chris Bick was close on the first corner but closed the door and pushed him wide to maintain the lead. From there it was me and Rupert again. He got passed me early in the race and started to gap me so I got my head down and let it all hang out to catch him and made the pass by stuffing it down the inside on one of the off camber corners. He tried to come back at me but the next lap he had dissapeared so I started to relax a bit. Then noticed that Kevin Murray was closing in fast on his YZ. The last lap flag came out and I rode a messy lap allowing Murray to close right in but held him off at the flag to take the win. Been riding Hampshire Club since 2003 and finally got the win | |
