KTM D3-Racing media information
Event: 18th February Fast Eddy XC Rd 1 Buildwas Leisure Park
Solid 3rd position at Fast Eddy XC
This weekend the D3-racing team returned to the Fast Eddy XC series after a 3 years absence, Tom by his own admission has never really enjoyed 3 hour racing as much as Enduro’s but this is the growing side of the sport and as they say practice makes perfect. The entry included several very experienced GNCC riders and even a few top level British motocross riders including Wayne Smith and Neville Bradshaw so we were using the event as training to help Tom build his speed and confidence with his new KTM.
The venue had seen allot of rain recently and the track looked very slick and clay based, the organizers due to bad weather had to switch venues at the last minute and in the time they had did a great job with a superb track. The circuit looked very quick and mostly of motocross style, not really best suited to tom who prefers the tougher stuff but ideal for him to improve his technique on this type of terrain.
Unfortunately the start area was very small and Tom had to start from the 2nd row of the pro class. As usual Fast Eddy was in the lead after about 4 corners with ex motocrosser Ryan Voase in tow, Tom was getting filled in back in about 10th position. Tom had never raced here before so he needed a few laps to get familiar with the circuit and to try and make ground. After a few laps he settled into 5th with a close battle between Ed Jones, Mike Kock and Tom. After the hour mark Tom started to build speed and his brand new KTM 250 was starting to loosen up and he moved up into 3rd. The leaders had a good lead at this stage of around 3 minutes and Tom was lapping in just over 6 minutes at a similar pace to the first two, so it was now just a case of holding position until the flag.
During the last half hour Fast Eddy was really pushing hard and had lapped up to 4th and had Tom in his sights, Tom was determined not to get lapped and lifted his pace and actually in the last few laps pulled a little from Eddy. It had been a good return to the series and Tom really enjoyed the event and is looking forward to the next round were he hopes to mix it with the leaders using the experience gained from this round.
