Disappointment as Mid-Antrim Cancelled (06
Aug 11) |

| The Mid-Antrim 150 was next on the
agenda, but it was to be a short weekend
as oil and diesel was allegedly poured
on the County Antrim overnight resulting
in the races having to be cancelled for
safety reasons. Practice ran well on Friday,
but then the vandalism of the track meant
that racing had to be cancelled on Saturday.
In practice Davy had a solid evening
in tricky conditions as the back road
was really greasy. First up was the Open
Session on the Strangford Holiday Park
/ Leisure Services Suzuki and despite
a few slides Davy was fifth fastest and
on the second row for Saturdays Race.
The Junior 250cc Session was cut short
when the clock bracket broke on the DM#71RRSC
Honda and so only one flying lap was completed
although Davy was still on the front row
in second place. His final outing was
on the CSC Branson R6 Yamaha and after
five solid laps he ended up sixth quickest
and looking forward to Saturdays racing.
A disappointed Davy said afterwards,
"What a disaster, i feel for everyone
concerned and hope that whoever was behind
this is prosecuted to the full extent
of the law as it could have caused a serious
accident to the public never mind a rider
during racing. It was the right decision
to call it off, as it was just too dangerous
as the oil was placed in exactly the right
places to affect racing."
"On the racing front I was not really
looking forward to practice on friday
as the back road in around the farm was
really greasy, but when i got going i
really enjoyed it and by the end of the
evening was having fun. The opening session
on the Suzuki was interesting as i had
only slick tryres and she was doing a
bit of sliding around the back, but the
rest of the circuit was too dry for wets.
I only got one flying lap on the 250 Honda,
but was confident i could go a lot quicker
come race day. The Supersport session
was good fun as the R6 Yamaha is nice
to ride around here. I was looking forward
to Saturday, but it was not to be so we
move on the Ulster and hope for better
things."
