National Champs 2006 - Moelfre Hall nr Oswestry, July 15th

The National Champs weekend was held under cloudless blue skies and blazing sunlight. It was a fast grass track with plenty of little drops, some of which were blind, and one really dusty loose technical switchbacks section. There was a long off camber straight which curved gradually round the hill, with lots of loose rocks and dust to catch your wheels, but it was quite a fun track nonetheless.



I qualified 4th on Friday afternoon's seeding, and on Sunday's race I somehow managed to go 10 seconds faster despite it feeling like the worst run ever. It wasn't enough though as most people went faster regardless of any problems with crashes or mistakes and I finished 6th. I was a little disappointed, but now I know I have a few things to go away and work on in time for the next race, which will be the Maxxis Cup in Montgenevre, France in two weeks time.
