The Novice plates are gone,How will I do against the big boys
     After three decent qualifying sessions I qualify straight into the A final(missing the B altogether)in 20th place
    I made a good start but a accident in front of me forces me of and drops me back and I come home in 22nd
    So for my first race I come home in the top half of the field

After Some unlucky qualifying I still manage to qualify joint highest novice,but get fired off before the race even starts(thanks Sean)
I start the race 150 metres down on the back off the field.
By the last lap I’m second novice.Then I get a good run out of turn 3 which sets me up on the inside of turn6 (good advice Dave) to take the Novice lead with half a lap to go

I win my first televised race

I was invited to a novice cup televised race, when I turned up there was 7 novice drivers there.

When I first went out onto track it was really slippy (green track)and I was only able 56 second lap-times.

When we had are practice start (standing) i was starting last and Max Kenney was on pole with NO LEAD !!!!!!

In to the first corner i was into 2nd and right on the bumper off Max I managed to overtake him but as he was 10kg lighter he overtook me down the straight.

When it came to the real race I was starting 7 th out of 8.

On the start some of the drivers got caught napping and I gained 4 places and on the first lap Max kenney span and was last .

After five laps i had to come in for a pit stop i came in 2nd but Liam stalled coming in and we were all bunched up in the pits.

After a very impressive pit stop by my dad only when every one else had 4 mechanics and got me out in 3rd.

Behind Jack and Aron Campbell (Darren Campbell the Olympic sprinters son)after 4 laps i caught them.

With half a lap to go i made a lunge down the inside and made the move stick and won the race !!!!

On my victory lap my wheel come of and i come but i luckily had finished the race .

I shall up date my blog when its on TV .
