Another great race weekend in the bag! I think this is my best overall placement weekend so far! I had such a blast in every one of my races and was fairly happy with my pace. I could feel there was a lot of room for improvement but I’m glad […]

SOAR Round 3, 28-30 July 2023
Modified layout – it’s short but I quite like the longer turn 1 on this layout. The KSR practice day was on Monday this time so Josh and I did the SOAR Friday practice instead – it’s better value for money now that it’s a full day since they cancelled […]
SOAR Round 2 24, 25 June 2023
Reverse Alien layout, this is the only time we do reverse direction so I put the Pirelli scrub on the rear to try – it’s not supposed to be flipped so this is the only chance to really wear the left side. Thursday KSR track day We met Rick in […]
Nelson Ledges Track Day June
My good pal Danny was going racing with WERA at Nelson Ledges in Ohio and was kind enough to let me tag along to do the Fasttrax track day on the Friday before. Sadly the weather forecast was not good for the track day and I didn’t want to bother […]
2023 Practice weekend journal
First session felt awkward but promising. Lots of power, brakes were grabbing with the lever too close to the grip, shifter was too low and kept missing 4th on the straight, after session palms of my hands were in lots of pain because I was gripping the grips wayyy too […]
SOAR Round 1 27, 28 May 2023
Technical layout Friday Practice Continuing with the new stiffer suspension settings, as usual I felt slow in the first session of the day and was happy to follow Josh around for the first few laps as he seemed to be pretty confident. It started picking up as the sessions went […]
SOAR Practice Weekend
First time running the bike this season, no changes to the bike but planning to try stiffening the suspension. We ran Technical in the morning but a load of dirt had been kicked up on to the track from turn 2 through to the second 90 degree corner – turn […]
2022 SOAR – Round 6
Technical layout – my favourite. Lost the front end in turn 2 in Am Old Folks on Sunday but got back on and managed to finish the race – leathers were scuffed up nasty on the left elbow and hip but the new Shark helmet didn’t get marked, very happy […]
2022 SOAR – Round 4
It was the short Modified layout, had some good battles. Position / Best lap Saturday Qualifying Sunday Race Lost Era Lightweight 12th / 56.071 11th / 55.273 Am Old Folks 6th / 55.481 5th / 54.855
2022 SOAR – Round 3
It was long layout and I struggled to find grip and confidence in turn 5, the second hairpin left. The practice day was wet so I was out on the B bike with the wet tires on – it was great! Danny loaned some wet tires to Heather so we […]
