THIRD PODIUM ON THE TROT FOR THE TEAM WITH A WIN FOR PAT McDOUGALL

We awoke to another glorious sunny day with high expectations for some good race results. Tom had qualified the previous day in 9th position only 0.2 of a second off the supersport lap record for the 16 lap race.
He got a good start and was in 6th place on the opening lap, the pace was as hot as the weather and by lap 13 Tom was fighting with Glen Richards for 7th position.
Unfortunately on the next lap Tom lost control of his R6 and crashed heavily at Park corner, luckily he walked away unhurt but his machine suffered extensive damage and that was the end of Tom's race.
This now leaves Tom in 7th position in the Championship, still only one point behind Ben Wilson who also crashed early on in the race. Pat had a good qualifying day yesterday and was starting from 2nd position in his championship and 19th place overall.
As the starting lights went out he had an excellent run up to the first corner and was up to 1st place and 16th overall after the first lap.

Pat was pushed hard by Hunt, Cringle and Dan Kneen for the entire race but managed to control the pressure with very consistent lap times all in the 1 minute 32 second bracket for all of the 16 laps.Pat crossed the finishing line in 1st place and 15th overall, 1.1 seconds in front of Max Hunt.
This great result gives Pat back to back wins following his success at the previous round at Oulton Park and puts Pat in a very strong position only 2 points behind the current series leader Dan Kneen, leaving him in joint 2nd place with Mark Cringle.



We now have a 5 week break to the next BSB round at Mallory Park our 5th round of the 12 event championship on the weekend of
the 27th June.
Roll on Mallory and hopefully some more silverware.

A GOOD SOLID START TO THE WEEKEND AT A BLISTERINGLY HOT CADWELL PARK

 Friday today is the start of the weekend’s racing with two 30 minute practise sessions. Tom was in good form and finished the day in a pleasing 5^th position out of the 36 riders competing in the British Supersport class. Pat was also going well and ended up 2^nd in the Cup class and 16^th overall. Let’s see what tomorrow brings with our qualifying day.    

A WIN FOR PAT AND EXCELLENT RACE RESULTS AT A WET OULTON PARK

The usual for Oulton Park, is the race going to be wet or dry? Well,it was dry tyres on the grid then it rained one minute before the start, so wet tyres were the order of the day. Tom had qualified well in 6th position for the race and by lap 4 he was in a strong 4th place, helped a little by the fact that Gowland, McConnell, Hutchinson and Paul Young had all crashed in the treacherous very slippery conditions. Pat had a sensational start from a disappointing grid position of 27th and 6th place starter in the Cup and got excellent drive off the start and was up to 15th on the first lap and 6th place overall by lap 3. Mid race the safety car came out on track following another crash for 3 laps which closed the time gaps between the riders.

The last few laps required some caution as the rain began to fall again. At the end the win went to Ben Wilson(Gearlink Kawasaki)with Sam Lowes right on his heals. Tom and Pat crossed the line in 6th and 7th positions only separated by 0.2 of a second. This solid result now leaves Tom in 4th position in the championship so far, only 1 point behind Ben Wilson. Pat's 7th gives him
some main championship points but more importantly he was 1st to the chequered flag of the cup competitors with a lead of over 10 seconds.

This now leaves Pat in 7th position in the standings. A very satisfying result after the disappointments of the non finishes at the first two rounds. The team now head off to Ireland for the North West 200 races next week with
experienced American rider Jimmy Moore in the saddle. He will be riding the teams Yamaha R1 Superbike, Suzuki GSXR 1000 Superstocker and Pat's Yamaha R6 Supersport bike. Fingers crossed for some good results. Next round for BSB is at Cadwell Park our 4th event on the 23rd May. Lets see if we can get three podium results on the trot. See you there.
