Yes i've raced there a few times. Its a brand new circuit. I'm not a great fan tbh. The old Anglesey was better imo. Yes you can camp. Its a beautiful place with the moutains on the skyline when its clear...it rains a lot there! I may go in may. Depends on the funds. If I was to drop a circuit from this years calender it would be this one. Its a bloody long way from me.. I went this year to spectate. The weather was grimsville. Anglesey 09  |

cheers for the info.. that looks a bit on the damp & cold side to me  your mate Charlie must get fed up of being the token backmarker in every photo you see of him... cant you knock a nippy little vespa together for him..... ;D ;D god that fellas fast... Ray "rayspeed" Kemp has difficulty coming to terms with how quick grp 4 bikes are nowadays, compared to his back in the day grp 6 outings...?? Am i right in thinking that grp 4 was once nicknamed the dealers group... because of the scooter shop owners as rider / racers..? whats caused the arguments or disputes about group 4 engine configuration lately... or have misheard something (barrels?) |

He sure is fast.It would be good to see group 6 being developed more nowadays.Group 4 is very popular and has come a long way since i 1st went to watch at three sisters but not many of the old group 6 lot race anymore and when they do,its the old bikes dusted off.Ok,mr saxelby`s machine is still mental as his son Ryan showed but be good to see more like it.

Yeah ryan showed how to ride a group6 didnt he.  The thing is with those scoots is that they dont look like scoots. Today the motorcycle spectators that watch us (most of em are) watch because they are watching scooter racing which most think is great. A group 6 looks like a weird little motorbike and not many can identify with it. Over the last few years with the allowance of certain kit barrels in group4 the class got faster and it grew. Spectators loved the scooters going so well and we gained popularity within the Vmcc as they got good feedback. I know from peoples comments in the paddock they they dont understand the stripped down scooters. Now a group 6 motor in a lambretta frame (as some are doing) is the way to go I believe with scooter racing. |

Get what ya saying.Suppose its like sticking the hornet motor in a diddy cutdown frame when left as it is,you can see a its obviously a Vespa but it goes like stink.
