Sam West 2009 - why not the lap record? just looking thru some old results, not sure why but Sam knocked in a few 1'48s yet not recognised? Not race day? Surely then it would replace the Matt Traynor one? Some interesting times BTW |
What track/date are you talking about? I assume Cadwell because you are normally talking about Cadwell and the time seems to fit. I would guess only Qualifying/Race lap times count because they are controlled under DD rules, have parc ferme etc.... There is nothing to stop me whacking slicks on the bike on a practice day because no-one is checking. |

ha sorry yeah Cadwell, clearly I'm that predictable ;) its a Sat race so not points race so doesn't count, but faster than Matt's which is somehow (dont know why - none others are) credited with the fastest lap around Cadwell on a B bike which is clearly wrong. 2009?? Maybe 2008 - when was Sam champion? |
2009 |
Matt entered the August 2009 Cadwell meeting as a Class A entrant although racing on what was essentially a Class B bike, but as it was entered as Class A he would never be checked for Compliance with Class B rules only Class A. As for Sam's Laps of 1m 48s they were on Chaz's OD2 Class A bike as far as I'm aware |
really?? Ok I stand corrected; would explain why he was 3 seconds slower on race day! But I thought it said B class on the results... |
It does say 583 on the result sheet , but to the left just after his name it has DA for Class A, on the Sunday it should have DB after his name Probably New Era's system couldn't cope with all the changes |
:lol: there was me thinking Ferkin Hell how did he manage that result on a B?! |
Still wondering how Cleggy managed a 1m 49 and a bit lap record |

TBh I can see why. If my bike handled better I would have beaten that. On the lap that was stopped, I was ahead of my 1'50 dead. Reason I'm so sure is I was hitting gears earlier thru charlies 1 and was flat out sooner on park straight so certainly faster...alas chassis couldn't cope with extra speed thru bottom mountain hence it chucked me up then onto the grass just as the red flag came out if I'd have had Phils, Kevs, alans or Hughs straight line speed I would have done it. And I dont think the new tyres are that much better than the old diablos...especially as my tyres were so worn by then ;) edited to add I'm not trying to sound flash, arrogant or ain't I great!! Just seemed to gel with Cadwell after all these years of trackdays!! Think I'll move there :D |
