Anglesey Round 4

FSRA round 4 was held at the North Wales circuit on Anglesey, hosted by the Wirral 100 club, without the chief cook and bottle washer, Lynda, but Louisa was on hand to help Helen with the behind the scenes jobs.

The team were ready to go after the lack of racing at the Southern 100 due to sad circumstances at the event, with the TT engine still in, Wayne and Ben were looking forward to some competitive racing. Weather was good, windy as usual for this challenging circuit, but sunny and dry. Qualifying classification saw the team on the grid at 7th place with a lap time of 1.16.636 and with refuelling done they were set for the first race. Again, great track conditions and they picked up a couple of places with a well driven team finishing their first race in 5th place with a lap time of 1.16.012. The tyres were a bit on the tired side but they’d be able to finish the second race on Sunday and push them to limit, saving a new set for the next round.

Sundays race was toward the end of the day, race 25, the team were ready and raring to go. They set off the grid in 7th as the first 6 were reversed as in the rules for this series. Some fast racing and exciting cornering by Wayne and Ben had them being mentioned by many as they pushed through worn tyres and an engine that was on its limit, giving the outfits in front and behind an even tougher race! After 16 laps the boys finished a strong 7th place with a lap time of 1.16.068, and despite not finishing higher, they had really enjoyed the race and were on great form when they came in. Very proud of the team, raced hard, enjoyed the weekend and picked up some more points for their championship challenge.

Many thanks to the host club, medics, Marshall’s and everyone behind the scenes who makes it all happen!

See you all at Cadwell Park for round 5.
