BSB Rd 3 Oulton Park. Race Day Monday
06-05-2010
Race day brought changeable weather and a good result for Pat in particular.
The Supersport race was delayed by the start of rain, to allow a wet practice. When eventually started the race was heavily effected by the wet conditions which allowed Pat to take advantage of his good wet riding skills and progress gradually through the field over the course of the race including a pace car, to finish first in the cup competition and 7th overall. A great result for Pat and East Coast Racing. Shots of Pat on the podium are in the gallery here.
In the Superbike races Dan and Christian had different experiences:
Race one saw Christian and SMT make a good start in a group of five riders battling for eleventh position, after dropping to thirteenth behind Bridewell and Rutter Christian clipped the notorious kerbs and lost the front wheel falling out of the race. Christian made another solid start in the wet second race and was in a strong position when his race came to a very abrupt end on the opening lap after making contact with Relentless by TAS Suzuki’s Alistair Seeley coming out of Hizzy’s chicane, ending his weekend without any points. Positives in terms of race pace but frustrating results for Christian.
