The Snetterton300
track was the next port of call for Leon and the Geo E Davies with Smirk Racing
Team in the Pirelli National SuperStock1000 Championship. Having tested there
earlier, Leon was confident of a good qualifying and race result. He was hoping
to continue with the excellent form over the past couple of rounds.

Free practice
one was held in sunny conditions and Leon was in scintillating form as he
posted a time to bag fifth fastest. He was more than pleased with that as a
starting base and was looking to build on that in second free practice. The
pace hotted up in free practice two although he quicker again he fell to eighth
place.
The team and
Leon were feeling confident for the sole qualifying session on Saturday. He was
aiming for a top ten grid slot and he achieved this going quicker again with a
time of 1 minute 50.890 seconds and this placed him tenth on the starting grid
of Sundays race. Making a good start in the race Leon held his position in the
first lap bumping and boring and then all the weekends good work came to an
abrupt end. Making a move to take seventh position on lap two Leon had a high
side and crashed out of the race ending his point scoring run in a heap.
Speaking after
the race Leon said “Snetterton has been another major step forward for us as a
team, we haven’t been out of the top ten throughout free practice and
qualifying and I felt strong on the Suzuki which led to my downfall in the race
as I probably pushed to hard in the race causing the high side” “We go to
Knockhill full of confidence and we are looking to getting back in the points
again” he added that he wanted to thank all his sponsors for their continued
support.
