There was a great turnout for Round 3 at Taupo after Battle of the Clubs with a lot of people sticking around for another day of riding. The Pro65 class was heaps bigger than usual with new riders to compete against. I ate sand in races 1 and 2 from pushing myself to try new lines and fought back to top 5 finishes and clocked the fastest lap time in each race. I had a great start out of the gates in Race 3, took the holeshot and kept on the gas until the flag. I feel like I am making some really good line choices when I ride, I am trusting myself and my bike more and I’m learning how to communicate with dad about the track conditions and how my bike is running. I finished 3 overall today with 5-4-1 which has put me back in the running for a podium finish at the end of the season which is awesome after a terrible Round 1.
