Well come to round 2 Thruxton.       
Friday Round two was going to be a real challenge for me as it was another  there track I have `t  been to.
The weather was  sunny and dry so I had a great free practice in the morning ,and was ready for Q1  which went really well for me ,the track was very fast and getting to grips with the track was demanding however I finished in 19th place  I had a few issues but was confident I could get around them for Q2 .
Saturday was miserable rain damp and cold ,Dad held me back for the last 8 mins of Q2 as we new no one would beat Q1 lap times but I need to do a few sighting laps in the rain to settle me for race day if it was to continue to rain.
Sunday race day was dry clear and the sun was out, the light went out and I made a rough start front end came up and I lost a few slots into the first corner, the race settled down and I got a couple of places back getting a personal best lap time 1.21.5 then my clutch started to slip and made it hard to maintain the pace I had just got to, I kept going best the bike would let me and went over the line in 20th position very happy first top 20 finish how ever I think I could have got  a couple of places more.
 I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL MY SPONSORS FOR ALL THE HELP IN GETTING ME HERE.

Hi all
Brands Hatch Indy 6-9 April  first round of the 
This was my first time at this track and after walking it I thought this could be interesting .
The cambers and corner lines looked nice so all was set in my thoughts  for  the first Friday practice which went OK.
Saturday first qualifying weather dry ,I was going really well and was getting to grips with the circuit and getting in some good lap times qualifying in  9th , until I went down on paddock hill no fault of my own but that's racing .
Sunday was dry for Q2 and after a hard day Dad , John and Leon,s race team got my bike back together (many thanks guys ) I finished in 27th place on the grid for race day.
Bank Holiday Monday race day.
Weather was horrible rain rain and yes more rain......
Lights went out and the race was set I made a great start from the lights up from 27th into 15th place in the first two laps ,two more and I was in 12th ..... the bike felt really good as i don't mind the rain but it was a wash out there conditions were terrible as i tipped into surtees i lost the front and went down ,
all well roll on Thruxton .
A massive thank you to all my sponsors
