That has to have been one of the worst meetings ever. Sleeping in a puddle in a tent. Strong winds throwing peoples gazebo's down the paddock. Rain and dry in the same race. Slicks or inters or wets. You working half the night to fix the bike. Holbeach changing to the inters tyres and as I now know, he always over-inflates to get the tyre to seal properly, but some idiot (me) tried to make a change 30 seconds before the race and didn't check and after falling off at the fast right hander checked to find the tyres at 45psi. To be fair the other off was on oil and I was not the only one to go down on it. Can't recall the third off, maybe that's a good thing. That was a long drive home eh

Happy days
