Did city win the league, hadn't heard about that ;D ;D I need to take the pk for a razz tomorrow to iron out possible problems, also mount all the knobbly tyres on spare rims for us to use... Did you get the recent email from Gary about times, regs etc? Jim - shame you aren't coming mate but family first and all that, I'm sure they will be pics and videos galore

Ok cool, you'll certainly skid well with them mate, I'll bring the tyres anyways... Just took mine for a razz, clutch seems stiff but it all works and nothing fell off so I consider that scrutineered ;D At the end of the day all you'll need is a spark to race and that's two wires so worse case scenario we can bodge that in the pits

cheers Col - pity the dates clash as i'd have come to cadwell to watch
Ben, motor runs etc but if they get heavy on having working lights (as per the regs) then I might have to call on your help..
I like the comment form Gary that it's a parade not a race but you can parade as fast as you like ;D
I am gonna get there midday ish i reckon so i'll give you call when i get there - pit buddies!
weather given = DRY so I'm packing the piz buin. Pity we cant stay over and get pissed as they have put bands on etc but then again it's probably not a great area for camping, haha

Grrrrr, I know what I've done - four shits in the last hour, feeling proper flu'y pal... The fear of looking like a pussy (and the near £400 this madness has cost thus far) means ive necked a lemsip, dioralite and an Imodium plus back to back, kill or cure lol I know I know,

As it was A parade and not a race they did not issue a results but in warm up i passed a few results then in race 1 i started from second row and sticky said i was 3rd on lap 1 and a guy passed me on a bmw so i reckon 4th. There was a real mix of stuff including a blade and 3 c90s. It was mad.... By the end of the afternoon the track had dried out from a muddy mess so i was pissed that i couldn't race as i reckon i'd have gone ok.

I seriously hope there was talk of a next time, i haven't got this out of my system yet. I'm gonna post you the hotshoe anyway G, no use to me here. It's amazing how quick the track can dry out with people riding, it rained when I did the school and we all went flying but an hour later it was perfect.
It's something else when you see the pro's having it huh?!!
