Irish NPS round 2 report.
Round 2 of the Irish National point series took us to Killarney, Kerry. We drove the red A team wagon 5 hours to the track on Friday, set up the BBQ and had some dinner. A good sleep and ready for practise the day after.
The sun was out on Saturday morning and I was ready for some runs. The track was dusty and running sweet, Its a very short course but packed with everything and is fast and rocky so it was real good fun to ride. Saturday practise went well, although I was a bit nervous on the steep rocky steps were I broke my collar bone last year. After a few runs behind elite rider Dan Wolfe I was feeling pretty quick. 1 slight over the bars crash which was luckly saved by the Knox armour.
After practise I sessioned some of the bottom sections with some mates, which ended in me snapping my crank spiders, chain ring and bashguard, luckly I got it sorted for Sunday.
Headcam of the track, following Greg Callaghan.
Sunday morning was again sunny, I managed to get 3 practise runs in, but pushed up for 2 of them due to the long Qs. I was feeling confident enough for my race runs but I knew it was going to be very tight on such a short track with no room for error.
My first race run went OK, I clipped out near the start and it took me a while to get back in, but other than that it was pretty smooth. I was in 1st place after my first run, about 3 seconds ahead of 2nd place.
2nd run went even better, but I only managed to make up 1 a second, I kept first place, about 4 seconds ahead of 2nd place.
My time put me 3rd place in the Junior category, only 1 second from winning it, which shows how tight the track was!
All in all a great weekend and another win, I have so far won every race in Ireland.
My next race is the Welsh champs in Llangollen in a week, Which I cant wait for!
