We had the 2nd round of the SARMC last saturday. It went really well. We finished 2nd for the day. We had a growing field of 17 competitors in the Max Challenge category.
We struggled a bit to get to pase in the first two heats as the engine?s performance was not up to scratch. the Rotax Dealer then checked the power valve and said it was faulty. He then fixed it and we went a lot better. We finished 2nd in all 3 heats, which gave me 2nd for the day. I was leading the 3rd heat twice, but made a mis judgement and lost the position again. It was very tricky as the third guy was right on my tail. So I had to sit behind the leader for a couple of laps to build a gap. I then passed the leader, he passed me back, I then passed him back, but we boogged a little coming out of the one corner and the third guy joined our pack again. i then ran out of laps and finished 2nd. The race was 18 laps and to me it was too short…. I love the long races. I seem to do much better in them….
Anyway. My team and myself are quite happy with the performance. The next Max Challenge race is only in July os something…. But the Super Rok is coming closer and I am looking forward to it!
See ya!
