WINYATES Green ace Andy Burbidge had a disappointing start in the MRO series when an electrical fault left him with a 'did not finish' after the opening round at Snetterton at the weekend.
But the Redditch rider said any frustration was rendered meaningless after a second fatality in the series, on Saturday's club day.
Burbidge qualified 14th and climbed to seventh in the warm-up club event before a collision saw him come home 13th.
He squeezed in to qualify 38th for the main event by 0.75sec with 55 bikes vying for 40 places and was up to 26th when his electrical fault cut in.
Burbidge is back in action at Oulton Park for round two in three weeks' time.
The young star will be hoping to have recovered from a broken finger suffered before the weekend races while opening his van door!
