First up, congratz to the
@dunamotornz ,
@LITTLEBLACKO942 &
@Jcp on their win and podium finishes.
Having moved up a Division I was always skeptical of how I was going to go, but I held onto some hope that I'll do OK.
How wrong was I
Qual - Got out early to get clean air and set my fastest full tank lap on RM and was happy with that. that time gave me 14th... out of 16 racers, so I wasn't the slowest at least
2 secs between top and bottom of the division is criminal...anyhow.
Race - Got a nice clean start and wow was the first 2 corners messy, but managed to get through without being in anyone's way. Many others fared worse. I managed to sneak into 6th for a bit, until Pits. I had a nice battle with
@Luke for a bit from pits and kept that pretty close until I had a minor off at the long hairpin. Once I took the RH's on, I just couldn't keep up, but I had lots of room behind me. I had a decent gap to
@emmo46 behind me so wasn't overly worried, but he was gaining time on me every lap, but ran out of laps to catch me up. I was losing my concentration in the last half of the race as I'd only had 4hrs sleep all weekend (on call for work and my daughters work hours are really late)
Crossed the line in 10th.
Some pluses that came out of the race for me was that I managed to keep it on the track for all bar 1 corner. And I beat
@incey so win win for me
Not sure how competitive I'll be this season, the competition in this division is far beyond what I was expecting.
