First race in D1 completed.
Qualified where I thought, towards the back end - 15th out of 16 racers. It was very nice to see a complete field of racers in D1!!
The first few laps were a minefield, but I managed to keep it on the track and with the pack.
By lap 5 things had settled down and packs had been formed and I believe I was just sitting outside the top 10.
In front of me was a large pack of racers and I was catching (mainly due to them battling), but once that pack got broken up, my race was pretty much over.
I couldn't catch the D1 lads in that 'pack' and by keeping it clean and pushing my own lap times to my PB's of 49 flats, I was able to keep the rest of the new to D1 crew behind me with a sizable gap.
To finish 14s from the D1 guys goes to show that I need to find at least half a second of pace.
At the end of the day, goals were achieved.
1. Didn't get lapped
2. Didn't stack it at all.
