    Well it's about time you bloody got round to doing it all !

    Yes it is "That MickyH".... I'm more concerned Dave was allowed in the control tower, they don't let me in there incase i break something ;)
    Good luck mate, going to try and come up with Dave for a few rounds

    ha ha - thats right, 1000cc Newcomers....

    big grids this year, so many infact that me and jase need to qualify for grid position. If we dont "make the cut" then we will be demoted to the "Non-Qualified Races"...

    i'm really hoping that doesnt happen.

    anyway, prep is nearly finished, few minor spanners in the works this weekend.... but come what may, it's race time THIS weekend.... :)

    Just read through this - brilliant. Think I was at Brands for a trackday that day - shared a garage with the guy in the ACU group on the red & white R1, and some guy on a maroon ZX10 who wouldn't stop talking about how greasy the track was.

    Good luck :)

    Yeah, that's him.

    I remember a shitload of crashes...one guy binned it on the sighting lap at Druids. Clown. Had more moments than I can remember actually...luckily my 1993 CBR6 steelie has about four horses so nothing major :)

    I was in the Inters, bright orange CBR.

    There was a green (already half broken) Kwak that gave it a fistful of beans out of druids and crashed in front of me. I remember the instructor crashing on one of the sessions :), might have been in one of the ACU groups. I remember seeing a Duc going down; I think that was in another of my sessions after lunch.
