We arrived at Armoy on a rainy Friday morning (6th August). Fortunately we did not have to park in the main paddock, and managed to park in a farm across the way.
Practice got under way but was in total disarray due to the weather. It was then cancelled. On Saturday morning, race day, things didn’t look much better but the weather picked up and stayed fine all day. Indi’s first race was in the 1000cc, where he finished 7th. The next race was the 600 class – he started from 11th place on the grid and managed to finish in a magnificent 5th place in front of established stars such as Adrian Archiebald and Davy Morgan. Indi’s next race was the Race of Legends, where he started 12th on the grid and finshed in 7th place. His last race was the 650, he started on the front row along side Ryan Farquahar and Johnny Borrows, and finished a fine 2nd to Farquahar.

All in all, the meeting was a success, both for the organisers and the AIR Kawasaki Team. The team left with Indi going back to Prague and myself back to Manchester.
