DNF, 9th, 6th, then 5th in the end. Shame really as testing went quite well getting into 1.18's
Got taken out in the first race so looks like I’ve done a few ribs in and my lung is playing up  busted my ankle/foot  so off to a&e later so I can get some drugs (no korn you can't have any  )
The guy said he out-braked himself but was more like a 'dirty' move but hey it's racing and shit happens.
Got back out there but it kind of hurt (left ankle so not much fun changing gear) so couldn't play with the front-runners  I'll be back though  |

It's later than normal, I've kicked my photographer's arse for that though... Oh, and I wasn't there again! Thanks for the comments G (and Bendy )
GIFFOULD STRUGGLES AT SNETTERTON
Calcot motorbike racer Dave Giffould had a frustrating time at the latest rounds of the BMCRC Clubman Mini-Twin series at Snetterton in Norfolk at the weekend.
Just before the opening race of the weekend Dave was able to have his race spec Suzuki SV650 put on an engine dyno. However, he was surprised, and somewhat disappointed to learn that his engine was almost 10% down on the class limit, something of a disadvantage on a track with two of the longest straights in the UK.
After starting 10th in the opening race he immediately found that he was unable to keep his rivals behind him when he made up places in the corners. A move up and down the order meant that he could only finish 11th.
A change of air-filter to try and regain some of the missing power just before race two turned out to be a mistake, as the bike would not pull in high revs and Dave pulled into the pits and saved his tyres for the second day’s races.
The opening race of day two proved to be the high point of his weekend. After starting down in 29th, from 30 starters, he moved up to 12th place by the end of the race and just missed out on 11th by five hundredths of a second.
His luck ran out in the final race of the day though. A good start was negated by the lack of power on the straights and he was swallowed up by the following pack.
A very late braking move into the chicane on lap six allowed him to make up two places. However, it left him with some harsh braking to do to get into the second part of the turn. As he applied the brakes it threw the bike to the side, putting Dave onto the tarmac and into a rival.
The lack of power certainly made the weekend a struggle for Giffould, but he was happy with his performances against a field that undoubtedly had more horsepower than he did.
“I made good progress during the races and put in some consistent lap times against guys with more power than me,” he said. “The power deficit has never really been apparent before now as the circuits have been very twisty in their nature. But here at Snetterton it was always going to be a struggle being that far away,” he added.
Dave will next be in action at one of his favourite circuits, Cadwell Park, next month and is hoping to turn around his fortunes at the Lincolnshire venue.
“I’ve pretty much got all the pieces of the puzzle together that should put me up at the front with the guys leading the championship. I just need to put them all together to get back on form to challenge them. I hope that Cadwell will be the place to do that,” he said.
