And that's a wrap for the IMC 2025 Race season!!🏁
Sunday past saw the Season Finale of the Irish Minibike Championship take place at Nutts Corner Circuit , and what a year it has been.
Didn't get as high up the standings as hoped, but there is always more progression to be had for next year.
As normal, Joe was out in the open class on board his CRF150r....Practice and qualifying went okay. As the weather wasnt particularly warm, Joe decided to keep the r tyes on the bike for Race 1. Unfortunately this proved to be a mistake and they got too hot about 3 laps in, resulting in a big side ways moment. At this point Joe had to back off and just finished the race.
A change of tyres for Race 2, but the incident from the first race, meant Joe was a still a little cautious. With cold ss tyres on the first lap, too much ground was lost to the front runners. But JQ continued to persevere and had pretty steady race from to finish.
For Race 3, and with warm tyres this time... (big thanks to Jordan Greer who lent Joe his tyre warmers) JQ pushed and gave it his all...but by the last lap, he had to back off. Trying to keep up with the pack in front, Joe was breaking as late as possible and ended up taking a bit of arm pump. All in all, still an enjoyable days racing and a pretty consistent year.
