Hi, well monday morning now and i have just recovered from last nights celebrations. Yes that means me and Gordon Walker won the novice pairs championship yesterday.
After an eventfull start to the day for myself with my cut-out not working and other bits and pieces , it all came together as the racing began. In our first heat i took the flag with gordon in 3rd. Our second heat was a superb 1st, 2nd. In our third heat we took on Adam Lowe and Dave Tutton. Whilst Adam sped off into the distance i chased in second and Gordon held off Tutton at the rear. Going into the last lap my right footrest broke i turned round to see Gordon pass me on the inside but to my suprise Tutton had retired with mechanical problems. This gifted us a 5-4 heat advantage which proved vital in the final points standings. In our fourth outing i led the whole race, although i tried to slow the race down to allow Gordon into second behind me it was to no avail, but another well earned 6 points . In the last race it wasnt so easy as i made the gate with Gordon in second but i seemed to suffer mechanical troubles and had trouble staying in front. Lucky for me i managed to let Gordon through into first. I then slipped into third but luckily i managed to maintain this position to the flag.
The final points for us were ME: 16 Gordon: 14 A Total of 30 points.
We took the title only by 1 point as Lowe and Tutton finished on 29 points. An excellent day for both of us and hopefully a sign of things to come this season. A huge congratulations to Gordon walker, What a team!
