Some good racing in the NSUs once again, so why are so few people turning up?
Qualifying basically determined the outcome of race 1, with pole man Pete quickly building around a 2s lead while I kept John occupied with his mirrors & Eck had a good view of our battle. Could not find a way past John despite getting alongside a couple of times & finally lost touch with him when I had a trip through the gravel at the T1 chicane & was never able to catch back up.
Got a bit lucky for race 2, I had nearly run out of fuel in the first race, so added a bit more to make sure & only realised after the race had started that it had been set to 20 laps rather than 20 mins, so I probably would not have finished without the extra juice. Anyway, I had the advantage of a front row start this time & just beat Eck into T1 & while the others argued over 2nd place I was able to build a small lead. I expected John & Pete to close the gap, but I seemed to find a bit extra speed from somewhere & the gap was soon up to 5s. This stayed constant for several laps but increased more towards the end, maybe John & Pete were low on fuel
. So had a fairly comfortable win in this one.
Congrats to Pete on the win & podium & to John on two 2nds.
