A mixed race for me really.
I was really pleased to find some pace from somewhere in qualifying, I took a second off my PB in that session, and ending up 5th on the grid.
I got a great start at the green and accidentally whizzed past Darren
But I decided not to contest him braking late into T1. Oily (clearly faster) cot me a couple of laps later.
Martin and Pete were a couple of seconds back but I was slowly edging away when I span into the uphill right-hander when I messed up the entry
That dropped me 3 places.
Pete and Martin dropped off and I was left a couple of seconds behind Dave when I span it in the same place, I have to put that down to just chasing too hard, a stupid mistake
The other bright note is that I had all the aids turned off and I avoided major disaster from that point of view.
Onwards and upwards, Daytona should be a good race
