October Club day

YES! Finally another club day! It has felt like forever since I raced last. Over the time between the club days, I have done some club training and now have  a new best lap of 42:88 which i'm very happy about.
There was a field of seven heavies which is great. We had Joshua Hocking (#2), Lotem Ben Yosef (#8), Hamish Allan (#11), Jakob Searles (#17), Me (#18), Ben Moss (#71) and Daniel Hookway (#95).
The grid was random draw. For Heat 1 I started is P7, stayed there until Ben came off after a bump from Lotem where i went on the inside and Jakob went on the outside. Finished P6.
For Heat 2, I started P1. I was really nervous, but got a reasonable start and got passed by Hamish and Dan on the first turn, on the second lap I got passed by Josh on Turn 2, then an excellent pass by Lotem a few laps later. Finished P5.

For Heat 3 I started P7 (Last) But with a new gearing on (77) I was going much better and running my own race. Finished P5.

For the Final, I started P5 and run my own race to finish P5. First club day not on the podium, but wrapped up the championship.
