It was not a bad day for me after a disappointing start in the final where I flipped my bike in the air with the unexpected grip level I got. It may be because I made a mistake on the 3rd leg where I left the choke on on the carb and didn't get too much grip and then started the final in the same place but without the choke on and it picked up a huge amount of grip.
The 1st leg I won after a hard challenge by the guy behind me. The 2nd leg I won again after I was put under a bit of pressure into the 1st corner by the 2nd place rider but after that I pulled away then I must have lost my concentration or went too wide in the final bend where I was slowing down after about 2 laps and I must have hit the ground very hard on my bike and I almost came off but I managed to finish it after a painful mistake. In the 3rd leg I was struggling for some reason where I was first into the first corner then I went too wide and was having a difficult time getting back in front - when I got in front I slowly recovered from struggling around the corners and once I came in I just found out the choke is on which might be the reason why I was struggling. Then in the final I was thinking to myself that I really needed to make a very good start because I was worried about the guy who challenged me in the 1st leg, but unfortunately I picked up too much grip which was very unexpected for me after lots of wheel spin on the previous leg from the start.

Before you do it it may take a long time to load if you've got a dial-up modem connection, if you've got 28.8 it will take about 60-120 seconds
