Race report from Calum "Cub" McCubbing ...
The Ae7 lads bounced up to Inners for the SDA round 3 race.
Fridays weather was grand and looked great for the weekend once again. This time as we were so close to home we opted for a nights sleep in our own beds and travelled back and fourth on Saturday and Sunday morning.
Another one of these great hot summer days meant on Saturday the bottom half of the track was dry, however the top section was greasy and everyone was running dry tyres. I had a awful practice crashing on my second run and snapping the arch of my boxxer front shocks. Luckily Ae7 Bikes team mechanic Steve stayed back late for the journey back to Ae and is sorting it out as I'm writing this ...
Ok, Sunday now and the forks are back on. Typical race day weather, the opposite of the day before! The track was beginning to get more slippery but the bottom stayed dry and although I only had two practice runs, there weren't many race line choices so I wasn't affected too much.
The race started and Lewis suffered a snapped on the start line but still managed 45th position in Seniors.
Joe had a good weekend taking 15th place in the Youth race.
I had a great run and got another top 10 finish however Frazer supplied the Ae7 team with the top step on the podium getting his first win in Juvenile.
We've got high hopes for more podium places over the rest of the season.
Me and Lewis are heading down for some Welsh action next and hopefully Lewis will have no chain problems.
Official results:
Frazer McCubbing: 1st place (Juveniles)
Joe Paterson: 15th place (Youths)
Cub McCubbing: 10th place (Seniors)
Lewis Cochran: 45th place (Seniors)
