Fine weather for final round of racing at Mallory Park
The sun shone all weekend for the last 3 races of the 2011 season and the results were as tight as they have been all year. After an eventful test day suffering from suspension issues, we were saved by the kind loan of a set of forks from fellow racer Ben Wylie to see us through the weekend.
After a disappointing qualifying session, only good enough for row three on the grid, race one went well with a race long battle to finish 5th. Lap times tumbled as the weekend progressed and the final two races followed a similar theme of close racing around the 1 mile Leicestershire Circuit.
5th again in race 1 on Sunday set up the final race of 2011 and one more chance for a podium place. A strong battle for 4th place with two other riders unfortunately ended in me finishing 10th after a 10 second penalty for jump starting.
A good consistent end to the championship with 4th place secured, we now look forward to the challenges of British Championship racing next year in the Superstock 1000cc class.
Massive thanks to my wife, parents and all race partners and sponsors for their help and support this season.
