Snetterton race 2

Despite having the Best First Lap Of All Time, I finished 5th in class and 9th overall. That's ok, especially as it would take a hell of a lot to get near the top four Superstock bikes, but I'm a bit disappointed in my best lap time. At the start I got away cleanly and then laughed out loud in turn two as almost everyone in front of me outbraked themselves and ran wide. I tucked it in tight and emerged in fourth. Then I passed championship leader Ian Mackman around the outside and was into third as light rain started to fall. I knew that was probably too good to last but kept my head down and pushed hard. I lost a few places and then started to have a problem changing down the gears, which turned out to be a bent shift rod. A missed gear cost me another place but I managed to get it back by going around the outside in Coram's and luckily managed to get down into second gear for the last corner and good drive to the line. I'm making a new shift rod now. The plan for the last race is simple. Go faster.
