Sam had a great Easter Weekend on the new bike. He qualified 9th at Bishopscourt. Unfortunatey he didn't get a race on Friday due to his dad's crash and then the race meeting being cancelled on Saturday due to the weather conditions.
On Easter Monday Sam rode well all day, going from 7th in qualifying to 4th in both races, getting quicker each session. Sam has got a real feel for the bike and is looking forward to what the rest of the year will bring.
After the first race we were called into the dyno and told we would have to be striped and measured, we were happy to do this. However, after the second race Sam was told he was being disqualfied from the meeting due to an illegal chassis. This was disappointing for Sam as it was not making a difference to the performance of his bike and was the same year as the rest of the parts on the bike (25 years old.) Despite that Sam was very pleased with his performance all weekend as he continues to get quicker and quicker.
Thanks to everyone who helped Sam all weekend.
