Events Conspire against CTR at Cadwell Park.

During a weekend of mixed conditions CTR overcame set backs to pick up a few more championship points.

A positive free practice day saw the team finally iron out some of the setup and mechanical niggles that have been hampering the team during the season to date. After the final friday session Craig and Dan had managed to post times approaching those set during their last visit to Cadwell Park two years ago when they were running heavily tuned engines.

Craig - "To be able to lap close to the times we produced on our last visit is encouraging as while we are down this year on overall power due to the rule changes it proves that we are constantly improving our all round ability.

However mixed conditions led to gambles on tyres for Qualifying, while the team seemed to get decision right, both of the bike's runs were hampered by traffic on the circuit.

Dan - "Its a big disappointment to be only 17th on the grid after our progress yesterday. We have looked at the data and our very last lap would have pushed us up the order, but we found traffic in the woodlands section of the track where it is very hard to pass and we gave away at least a second to the field.

Sundays feature races dawned bright with the outfit posting lap times that were improving over the race distance till electrical problems left the bike stricken at the side of the track.

Craig - "Its cruel luck we were going well and making ground on the battle for 8th to 14th when the bike began to cut out unpredictably.

Race two the crew got off to a flying start making 5 place on the opening lap and posting lap times that would see them overhaul about 6 bike during the course of the race when at the end of lap 2 the red flag was shown after an incident involving another bike. As only two laps had been completed the grid was reset for a shortened rerun and the team were unable to reproduce the same start. Dogged progress saw Craig and Dan battle up to 12th position when the flag fell.

Chief Mechanic Chris - "The team is disappointed with the results this weekend, yet again we struggled with the qualifying format and left ourselves allot of work to do, technical issues and bad luck then made the fight back nigh on impossible."

CTR will next be action at Brands Hatch on the August Bank holiday weekend, which will also see the team taking part in the annual charity 'taxi' rides, where you can have a try at the art of the passenger in aid of "Help for Hero's".
