Once again across to Ireland to Mid Antrim races which I had been at last year.
There was heavy rain on the Friday so there was no qualifying. The race grid positions were determined by your Championship Placing.
Race one Junior support
I started from 7th on the grid and from the start I got my head down in the difficult dry/wet track conditions. I sat in 4th for a few laps and made my move up to 2nd eventually. I sat in 2nd for the rest of the race as the leader had made a good gap which I couldn’t make up.

Race Two Senior Support
I started from 5th on the grid. The track had a shower of rain just before I went out in the race and I had slicks on. I got a good start and was second out of the first corner. The track conditions were dubious so I took it easy. I was passed by two other riders who had wet tyres on. I rode the race at my own pace and finished 4th. Which I was happy with.

Race Three Supertwins
I was looking for a top ten finish, as there was a good grid of fast riders. I was placed 9th on the grid and this time it was properly wet. I got a good start and worked my way up to 5th. The two rider infront of me had created a good gap which I steadily worked on and two laps from the end I had closed in on them but I couldn’t pass as it was to hairy. I settled for the 5th.

Race four Moto 450
This is my newest addition to the stable. This is a growing class in which a Moto-X bike is used and converted to take road wheels and bodywork. These bike look, sound and ride amazing! We race against the highly tuned GP125 bikes. As I had not raced the bike before I was off the back of the grid due to no championship points. I got a good start and was up to third and was closing in on the GP125 bikes. At the end of the race I had finished 7th over all in the combined result with the GP125’S and second in the Moto 450 class!
