Full race report here for the final day 🙌 super proud, always 💙 Joel Haire Racing
What a day yesterday 😀 stil so excited.
Can't believe I'm now the champion of the bambam class 😳 😁
A damp Sunday morning greeted us when we woke but thankfully no rain, just cold 😫
As usual after bikes both passed scrutineering, it was time to get the helmet on and head out for the first practice of the day on the 125cc bike.
Steady speed to get used to the damp track and managed a time of 1.16.247.
Next was the 90cc. I had a brand new set of tyres on this weekend so I needed to go out and scrub them off. Slow and steady but managed a good practice lap time of 1.21.139
Qualifying sessions quickly came round.
Unfortunately in the 125 class my buddy fell off infront of me and I had no where to go, I had to swerve him and I came off on the grass hitting the tyre wall. I was a little mucky but we were both OK and got back on to finish the session. Managing a time of 1.17.647
90cc qualifying, I picked up the speed a little more and managed to get pole position 🤟 with a time of 1.17.895
