Ok...

Couldn't not.... I know there are a lot of threads flying about, but we do have our own section for it now... so I don't care mwah ha ha ha ha

Firstly... I'd like to say thanks to everyone who had a hand in organising it... we know who they are, I won't go on too much about that as everyone has said thanks (and we don't want em getting a big head or anything... new lids are expensive lol)

What hasn't (in my trawl through here) so far been mentioned is a big thank you to all the supporters.

Every time I go to a TD without riding I am 50:50 excited gutted... I have the valuable reasoning for this one that I am not fit enough to have done even the morning though I don't think.

I met so many people yesterday... and the unsung heros, need in my opinion a bit of a :worship:

I'm including the pit monkey's for example (the biggest and best example I know (cause she has to cope with the mad one as well as everything else lol)) being Rin... There were a lot of wives and girlfriends out there yesterday getting freezing cold supporting the people they cared about and helping them have a good day, in fact, even after a few hours at lunch time, I don't think there was one miserable face anywhere... lots of chilly looking slightly damp people... but everyone had a smile.

Also... a big thanks to those who just came.... there were people from all over the country, some who rode miles more then I drove (And I drove a fair bit) to just cheer everyone on and join in and meet up with their fellow junkies... that's class that is... no one can offer any more support than that. I know quite a few people took days off as holiday to join in when they would not be riding too... that's ace that is.... give yourselves a big fooking pat on the back :D

Was really good to meet so many of you yesterday... I was in a slightly better position to remember more of you than I was at Cadwell :lol: but an extra big thanks to those who said hello and introduced themselves :lol:

Waffling now, I guess I just wanted to make sure you all knew you were all part of the day... am really gutted as I think I may have lost all my photos (most mingling ones of the people in the pit) as it would have been nice to be able to put them up, but my camera seems to have lost them :(

Anyways :worship:

And for those that didn't make it.... there will be another one I am sure ;) Well done for keeping the site going while we were all offline :lol: :worship:

*Edit*

Knew I'd forget something :lol:

The other thing I wanted to say thank you for, was everyone listening to me (as I was losing my voice) on the walk up and down the pits telling people about what to do for the photo (big thanks to Angel for "helping" me with that ha ha) because although my voice has been a bit dodgy this last week, bless you all... you all listened when you were ment to and it went off pretty damn well if you ask me ;)

Well said, a lot of unsung heros were there. Renting a trackbike I personally didn't need any help (except to calm me down when I came in spitting chips after one session. Thank you to the bod that calmed me down ;) )
Walking around the garages all day there were lots of people running round helping out... making sure those on track had the best day possible :worship:

They were like the loaves and fishes mate.... I walked up and down the garages twice and still had a packet left and only a handful of people turned me down :lol:

(and no I'm not bumping my post count :p see edited the first post again and everything) :lol:

Yeah was a truly great day and I had a barrel (roll) of laughs.
everyone was fantastic (apart from one 1000 owner that thought he was better than everyone else and didn't have to wait his turn to get on track for the photo).
if I didn't say hi I'm sorry .if you said hi and I looked puzzled don't be offended I've got a crap memory (just ask Gareth)
what more could you ask for even the sun shone for the pics
and the buzz in the pits was fantastic the best trackday atmosphere I've ever witnessed
