The 2011 Night Racing series consisted of 8 races in total with the first race a practise night. Out of the first 6 races (after the practise night) the best 3 placings were taken including the final round.
Over the series I had some good races and some not so good races. I rode in the junior category but still looked at the overall picture and had a couple of outright wins. One night I fronted to race with a cold but still had enough juice in the tank to take the win but other nights saw various woes from mechanical breakdowns to just not feeling quite right and falling back a bit not to mention a crash tucked in there also!
Out of the series my placings were:
4th May (Practice) 1st Overall
11 May-2nd Overall, 2nd Junior
18 May-5th Overall, 1st Junior
25th May-1st Overall
1st June-2nd Overall, 1st Junior
8th June-DNF
15th June-3rd Overall, 1st Junior
22nd June (Final) 1st Overall
With these results I took out the Junior Category and become the 2011 Junior World Night Racing Champion!
These events made up for a fantastic bit of Winter training and Blue Dog Events saw numbers around the 200 mark! Not bad for a hardy bunch of Canterbury riders!
Big Thanks must go to Rod and Jane from Blue Dog Events for putting on the series and to my sponsor Matt Bailey and the boys from Cycleways for sorting out my racing machine so it was running in top form. Congratulations must go to Mark Dunlop for taking out the overall win as well as Phil Patterson for cleaning up the Vet category!
