Excellent day apart from the weather, Well done to Russell for remembering the tent, you were right... it is a bit big :o

Just going through the photos now so look out for another large post coming soon :D (just a shame the course was so long and far away from the paddock :( )

good to see you today adrian , the weather today was quite horrendous at times and puts a bit of a downer on things but on the whole was a good day with ups and downs.
the pulsar was performing really well after a bit of + camber on the front and tyre pressures , getting more oversteer rather than the other way round for a change which was nice but did get caught out when pressing on :oops:

good to see everyone new faces and old and look forward to the pics :thumb:

Another great day out for the guys

Gerry and Mike were uncatchable in my class, I simply didn't have the minerals to go that fast.

Trev was as 'banzai' as ever pushing so hard, just to keep the Russell's at safe distance. Great spirit though fella, nice to see you, Mike, Russ and Gidzmaster battling it out.

I was delighted that Simi's early issues got sorted and mildly surprised that I had a hand in getting them fixed. His grin after that first run with no issues was bloody amazing! It was nice to meet you and your Mrs.

I'll update the thread later with the scores and the scores to date.

Mike Blackmore, from here on known as Sonic, was the guy that diagnosed the thing that was wrong :)

Seat time will make you soooooooooooooooooooo much quicker than bolt ons mate although you may want to invest in some better hoseclips ;)
