Practice was disappointing as the Investasure Fireblade would not handle as Davy would have liked and the Autotech Kawasaki was down on pace. After practice, first up was the Heats for the 600 & Superbike machines and it was fourth place in Heat 1 of the 600cc Supersport and around ninth place overall on the grid for the main races. The Superbike heat was a different proposition and on a badly handling Honda Davy struggled to get any decent laps and only managed eleventh place, which was not good enough to qualify for the main Superbike races.

The 600cc Supersport 1st Leg was Davy’s only other race on the Saturday and he was running in twelfth place when he had to retire with two laps remaining, a disappointing end to a mixed day.

Sunday and it was mid afternoon before Davy’s first race of the day, the 2nd Leg of the Supersport and after a slow start he managed to move himself up to finish thirteenth, just ahead of Mark Parrett. Next was the Steve Henshaw Gold Cup Race and he managed to take over six seconds off his practice time on the Investasure Fireblade to come home in a respectable tenth place. Finally due to his problems during qualifying and the heats Davy was starting the Superbike B Final and romped home by almost twenty seconds over six laps to claim the win. A nice way to end the weekend.

Speaking later, “It has been a nice weekend away; it’s just a pity that i could not have been a bit more competitive. We could not get to the bottom of the handling problem with the blade, although it was better by the end of the weekend and on the 600 we were just not in the hunt from the off. On a positive note it’s more miles, a race win and the injuries are pretty much sorted”.
