Round 11 - British
Superstocks - Oulton Park
Oulton Park is
a circuit I dont particularly get on with, but inbetween races I had finally
got the front end as I wanted it. The weather was off and on all weekend
so it was hard to get a good set up. By 1st qualifying I was happy with
the setting and qualified in 16th.
In the race I was running very well and working my way through the field,
my fastest lap was over 1 second quicker than I had ever been before so
I was happy. Unfortunatly half way into the race the weather turned and
the race was red flagged due to incedents on the track. Just before the
red flag - for reasons that are unknown to me - I crashed at Island bend,
for those of you who know this circuit you will know it is a very fast
left hand corner - not a good place to be crashing! In the crash I suffered
severe concussion - hence I cant remember anything about the accident,
a suspected broken scaphoid in my right hand and amongst other injuries
I received nerve damage in my leg.
Unfortunatly these injuries were to be the end of my season as I had no
chance of recovering for the final round.
