Tony, good to see you on here again mate, it was deffo a big loss.. That Pic of you with your arse in the air is quality, shame you weren't on the line to get a couple too though. is it a copyright one or can we pinch it?? Also, have you and Charlie got a deal going on or something? You started 16th, and came 2nd, and in that video clip you look like you have a lot more speed than him, so how come you don't pass him? ( or is it a case of the black one is big and green one is small trick of the eye type thing  ) ;D |

don't forget that charlie always starts 1st on the grid, whereas Tony was 17th?
nb. also, im sure charlie has a remote control switch on his headset, which he flicks on when tony''s getting too close and it lowers tony's revs...............

Thats what I thought too mate, seems strange that you can take out all the rest in the field and then only maintain the same gap on 1st for the rest of the race... Tony, If I was you, I would get an independant to take a look in that box of tricks you have in the dummy tank mate... Oh, well done though. ;D |

Ha, you lot eh.. No team plans at all. I'll be honest in saying I couldnt catch him. We have discussed the possiblilty of me passing him and its not an issue as the motor is one of his, I'm in his works team and he's a mate! However he was much quicker than me out of one corner called the elbow and it would take all lap to catch him up again only to lose out again. However I set fastest lap but only by .02 of a sec. By the end of race 1 the clutch was spinning like mad and race 2... well I went bunny hopping and a little 80mph + excursion on the grass didnt help my overall race time!Motor was actually down on power slightly too as it had all new brgs and was a little tight. Should be ok now tho!

Charlie's motor is just a mugello 205 piston port group 4 engine with a hell of a lot of development. As an indication of how fast that bike is , Rayspeed had their 'works' rb250 out in a group 6 lightweight cutdown chassis and was 7 secs a lap slower and at an average lap speed of 72mph over 7 or 8 laps thats a mile or so behind I think.

Cheers will have a look out for that. Do you know what number?
The trouble is charlie comes through closely followed by you mmrrooooooooooooooooooooooooow mmrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (that's a lammy then a vespa btw ;D) then there's a big gap then all the rest come through in one or two big groups and it's just a bit of a blur, so you don't really see the writing on the side of the bikes.
You don't have as much time as a spectator to pick out the individuals in the main group as you do to follow the front runners round whichever part of the course you are stood at.
