[trackadick]

Well Fella"s hows it go,(Leon)we know how it went for yourself,Bad luck mate, What about the rest of you? 17 offs in the morning is that true or a wind-up(another record)? WTF been going on?

[wheely]

They were jumping off left, right and centre. Some riding standards left a bit to be desired in all groups.

Top day though. Great fun and the weather was superb!!!

Cant say enough thanks to K6Mart & Tracy for putting me up last night and keeping us supplied with tea and coffe at all hours of the day and night.

And big thanks to the lads over from Ireland, Steve, Steve and Nigel. Great lads, made it an excellent day....and Steve....get ur arse in the fast group next time, you were flying!!!

[K6Mart]

Was a top day that :D

[suzukispares]

a top day indeed :D

[Leon]

A top day - and credit to the medics and marshalls that looked after me and my bike !

[Macca]

What, no pic's !!!!

[rick600]

and Steve....get ur arse in the fast group next time, you were flying!!!

A fooking huge +1

[gixxertim1000]

Top day and top fun! :wh: Hope those that went down or ok! i heard 3 went down in one go at the hair pin! :gaah: Who came off at Charlie 2 in inters was it one of us lot, looked like a GSXR? :pst:

[K6Mart]

Was Leon at Charlies 2 matey :(

[Ter3000]

Charlies 2 strikes again?!?!?

Not good!

Hope tha lad is okay!

:)

[cowboyjon]

folks were going down everywhere

up at knockhill theres really only maybe 2 or 3 corners where 90% of the crashes happen, down there yesterday they were happening any and everywhere

dont think there was a single incident after lunch though?

oh, and the last novice session got choppped a fair old bit to cater for every other sessions red flags, which now that i think about it, was more than a tad unfair considering no red flags in the novices all day!

How did that work then,did they put the dinner break back,a little out of order if they did.

[wheely]

One after lunch at least....just after the Hairpin after Hall bends....lad on little Honda thing and maybe a Gixer Thou.....i'd just passed both of them after the 2 sighting laps, red flags soon came out and they never came round.

Hope they're both OK....dunno what happened though.

[Steve]

Just posted this in the other section.........., just home so im too lazy to post again!!

Well fook me......................what a weekend!!

Track was unreal & lots of fun but the hospitality was out of this world !! Thanks to Mart & Tra for putting up with us, or putting us up (whichever applies), these people know no bounds to kindness & made the weekend superb, thanks guys, you're 1 in a million!!

Thanks to Andy too (doctor) for getting us some passes to see the races on sunday, that was a bit of a treat mate!!

Caddy Craig too for getting a pretty decent pic (email that too me mate ;)) & for giving the DB meter another few inches :whistle: & his wee newborn kiddie with Freddi (TheNurse), surprised you looked so well with just being out a week Fred!!

Wheely (Neil), you're a rite laugh mate & gave us all a giggle, keep it up!!

And thanks as well to all those new faces introducing themselves, good to see ya lads & lasses along with the regulars

I'm all feckin thank you'd out now!! & we'll save the green hats to another time!

Good to meet you G, you're bound to have had some pain in that leg the way it is, you were riding well!!

A top day - and credit to the medics and marshalls that looked after me and my bike !
Well..........now..........ahem. I hope you're not as sore now as you were on Monday mate, i must have been just about 10 secs after you as you were just gathering yourself up as i came round!!

NO ! :(

Yes but im sure someone will have you mate & i bet you will have some spectacular pics!!

[K6Mart]

I'm looking forward to seeing ones of you *trying* to keep the front down Steve :lmao:


I didn't want to keep the front down at all , so must be them uber sticky tyres ;)

[K6Mart]

So how many first timers did we entertain then ?

[cowboyjon]

any vids of the novices?

[trackadick]

Good vid,750Steve.

[Steve]

Not me mate, they belong to R25STI & Custard Tart !!


I just took em off the other posts he put up & put them on here to keep it all in the one place

[GixxerMon]

One after lunch at least....just after the Hairpin after Hall bends....lad on little Honda thing and maybe a Gixer Thou.....i'd just passed both of them after the 2 sighting laps, red flags soon came out and they never came round.

Hope they're both OK....dunno what happened though.

Lad at the front low sided out of the hairpin on a 400cc (no idea what it was) and the lad behind on a mint white thou grab his front brake and high sided at the same spot. he was holding his wrist but i think they were both okay.

[wheely]

Argh. Wondered what happened. Hoped it wasn't something i'd done, but I passed him way up the inside with a lot of room going into the corner, as they weren't going that quickly at that stage of the session.

Glad they're relatively OK though.

[Steve]

Is it just me or is everyone busting to see the pics??

Well yes & no, was offered Cartagena for £399, 3 days on track & 5 nights in a 5 star nearby. Sounds good dont it?? Then i have to get my bike, wheels & kit from Ireland to England (prob circa £150) & then a flight/transport to there (prob £150 to £200). Some winter week it'll have to be done though!!
