After the last race we had come back to my little town and cleaned up all my gear and bike to get ready for the next race.  Because of the cold I managed to get a small head cold and was out for most of the week.  We headed up to sunny Queensland for the final round of the MX and it was nice and warm so we could wear shorts most of the time.

This race was a two day event because it was the last round and they had a few extra classes to run.  The track was good and I felt ok after practice.  with it being sand it got rough quick and I was a little bit out of sand practice and could only manage 16th fastest time in qualifying which I wasn’t to happy about.

Sunday morning we had a warm up and I felt much better and was pretty ready for the races.  It was 3 20 minute moto’s this time so it was going to be faster but shorter.  After a decent start in the first moto i started in around 10th, I moved up into 8th early on but with me not used to going so fast straight away I pumped up pretty good and dropped back to 10th.

The second moto I got a good start again and was in 10th, I didn’t move forward or drop back and I felt ok to end up there.  The last moto was shortened due to an injury and I got a horrible start, I was back in 25th on the first lap, I felt the best in the last moto and got up into 12th,  I finished 9th overall for the weekend which I was pretty happy with.

I’mback at home now getting my bike ready again for a two man 4 hour this weekend which should be fun then I will be back over to the Smith house to get ready.
