Qualified 9th for DD in wet conditions with a 1:38.31 lap and some nice slides as well. There was no qualification for the SV class as they raced the day before and the grids carried over, so I would start from the back in 40th place! DD Race 1: Track was dry, 4th into the first corner and fought for places. Finished 8th with a 1:26.00 lap and a quick trip across the grass at The Esses having gone into 7th, so lost it again and couldn't catch back for 8th place. DD Race 2: Race was red flagged after 8 laps (of 10) and I was holding 7th with a 2s gap to 8th. Fastest lap of 1:27.20 this time out. SV Race 1: Started from 40th spot on the grid, very last row and need binoculars to see the lights, but we were on a mixed grid of Honda Hairnets, F400s (ZXR/RVFs/etc) and the SV bikes. Finished 4th in class (26th overall) with a 1:26.36 lap time, beating DD rival Ali on the last lap as we'd been scrapping all race. SV Race 2: Started from 40th spot again, and it was the last race of the day so not trying too hard. Had a huge scrap with one of the slower Hairnet riders, swapping places every corner for him to come blasting back past me on the straights. Finished 3rd in class (28th overall) with a 1:27.31 lap. Fucking chuffed to get under 1:30 at Snetterton on a 63bhp bike, and really, really surprised to have put in a 1:26 dead! The bike is going well, and I'm now grinding out the fairings with the revised suspension, so time to adjust it again for more ground clearance. Now joint 5th in the championship, 2 races remaining at Cadwell Park next month.
