Well the season has been a long time coming this time round. With Hobs Hole cancelled last week i was a little disappointed as Polesworth is a track I'm not too keen on. So the first meeting of the year was a stone filled Polesworth!

We arrived Sunday morning and the ground was very frosty! We were first practise out and i wasn't looking forward to it!

Practice
Practice got underway and i was first off to avoid being stoned to death! The track was very hard due to the frost and was giving my arms a good workout! The track hadn't changed from last season, apart it was a bit rough from the winter meetings that are run there.

Race One
We were first race of the day and we lined up on the start. I didn't get a great start and was just off mid pack. I didn't push to much as the stones were making it rather slippy. I just kept on going and managed to finish 15th.

Race Two
Same sort of start again this time round so i did the same again and just took it steady and tried to enjoy the ride! I managed to progress better this time round and finished 13th.

Race Three
Better start this time and i was in the top five on the first lap. I kept my head down and tried to hold my position, but by this race I was feeling worn out from lack of winter riding! i did enjoy it and manged to finish 9th.

Overall I finished 10th on the day which for the first meeting i was pleased with. The track held up well and was even showing signs off dust! just a shame about the stones.
