Racing season has begun. And although I havent had time to get out and practise this year I do intend to be near the front by the end of the race. I'm on 16th position unfortunately as grid for this race goes on last years points from which i only raced twice. So its Mallory Park... 13th (easter monday) Scooters have two grids.. one for geared with 32 entries so far and one for the zips so there will be double the racing. There's a young un out on a zip from scootermatix and he flew in practise a week ago so that should be great to watch. Teamwoodspeed should be out on his newly 80's throwback (sorry john) 90ss too. ;D fastscooter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=136

best of luck Tony - mind you if you carve through the first 15 like you did at cadwell it shouldn't be a problem.
Think you only have that black lammy to worry about really!

Is that Bob West riding for the Taffy's? He must be cracking on a bit if so.

I'm in the process of sweet talking the bread knife into letting me go. Well, I'm not, I'm ignoring her and browsing porn on the internet at the moment, but I am thinking about being nice to her for an unspecified length of time, at a date of my choosing.

Nicked off another forum. Apparently Tony clipped the kerb in the chicane but kept her upright. He was riding for second place when the carb fell off but he managed to coast over the line although I don't know his final position.

Well, what can I say... I've never seen the green hornet in action before! God its fast!!! 1st race 2nd averall (from 16th on the greed) and fasted lap. ;D 2nd race was 2nd again but at the last lapTony hit a bump on the track or a kerb and the carb came off!!! Still managed to finish 8th. Charlie as usual won both races. ;D Sorry don't have any pics of the race, I wasn't fast enough to keep up! Sticky has some nice pics, maybe he'll post some up for us?
