Pat hit by electronics problem but finishes race
05-04-2010
Pat and East Coast Racing left Brands Hatch today frustrated by an electronics gremlin that stopped Pat during this afternoon's race. Pat started the race and was running 3rd in the Cup competition and 18th overall when the electronics stopped the bike coming down the hill out of Druids. Pat pulled over and restarted the bike several times and it then started to work. Pat restarted the race but had lost a couple of laps by that time.
Although frustrating Pat and the team move to Thruxton in good spirits for two weeks time.
