After meeting up with the 'Elvins' at 4.30 then onto the 'Golders' to collect them we headed off to Dover,managed to catch our ferry about 8.30 and had a few of the other UK riders on board too,Jools Allen & Jon Stockwell were on the way down as we left,arrived in Calais and headed off to the centre where the track was situated,practice was in the afternoon and we all managed to get about 3/4 gates each,I couldnt quite get the track sussed and was playing on my mind badly as we left for the hotel later.
Race day for 'Moose' on his cruiser and Lee 'Gangster' Golder was on the Saturday,Moose was gating well in practice but just couldn't nail it come race day,although he was unfortunate to miss out of a place in the next round whilst Lee managed to make the eighths and and finished in 5th just missing out.Jon Stockwell finished in 5th in his 40+ Cruiser semi whilst the UK's Tony Fleming won the same class overall.
Sunday race day came and I thought i'd got over my mind probs but not a hope,got some great gates postions but flunked big time,great starts too but moto one was a nightmare,got to the first set on the corner and just bottled it,everyone just left me,similar story in the 2nd moto but luckily 2 guys crashed and I got a 5th,start to relax for the final moto and managed to smooth out the jumps and even push the guy in front into a mistake and pull him on the last corner but just a story of too little too late.
All in all the weekend was superb except for the racing,gonna go now for today,need to look on ebay.....see if I can get some balls!!!!
Out !!!!!!!!!!
