There were 10 bikes entered in Funnybike and a really diverse entry once again with a mix of bikes from all over Europe. Friday was the best day, but with such a large race entry we were only scheduled 2 runs.
The first run wasn't bad but i was off the throttle twice due to tyre shake, but once it settled it was ok and ran a 7.5 - good enough to qualify 2nd at that point. The second run was late in the evening and in the dark (which i really like) but it shook the tyre off the line and never settled. We ended up qualified 3rd by the end of that session.
The next day was very windy and slow going due to the odd bit of rain. The few bikes that did run struggled with crosswinds, and Top fuel bike rider Nick Milburn came off at the top end and was lucky to get away with minor injuries. Finally a decision was made not to run the bikes again that day.
On race day it was even slower, with bursts or rain every hour or so and many classes never ran at all. And by 4pm the even was called when it rained once again.
Fingers crossed the next event will be better, its in 4 weeks time at Shakespeare county raceway - the Springspeed nationals.
