I'm very pleased with my result for this meeting.  My starts have improved because I've changed the clutch by buying a new set of 4 plates for inside the clutch and setting it up in a different way which gives me more grip on the clutch and makes my gating better.  At the same time I've also found a different way to improve my start as well (I think).  So therefore I can get out of the start better than I have been doing.  I won my 1st race after I overtook from 2nd place to 1st on lap 2 into the 2nd bend.  In my 2nd race I was struggling with the grip on the track therefore I couldn't get any closer to the person in front or my team mate.  After that I changed the setup and went out in my 3rd race and came 3rd behind my team mate.  It was the same for my 4th race.  But in my 5th race I tried to overtake from last to 3rd but then I got pushed out towards the fence and got a bit behind after I tried to catch up again.

So Overall I scored 6 + 3.

I also won the Man of the Match, sponsored by Swindon Mobility Centre, and would like to thank them for choosing me for this award.

What I need to improve is my grip level on the track.  I found I was getting a bit too much spin on my rear wheel.
