Mood: Channel Swim is now a (bad) memory not a dream
Gutted I have to work Ray as it's one of the last chances to experience the full MotoGP circuit at Donny before it is closed and changed forever. So many memories of racing on it (national) and instructing and watching Rossi et al. I recall one particular year with the old BHC boys watching at Foggie Esses where they were coming out still leant over with the front in the air and leaving black lines as the rear spun up, (the racers not the BHC boys). The bang of the gear changes still sticks in my mind. I have video I took of Rossi stopping right in front of us and doing a donut on the slow down lap - awesome. That was the year Fordie wore a yellow t shirt and spent the day surrounded by wasps etc - oh how we laughed

In saying that, I can't wait until next season to have a go on the new track at it will be a big imrovement (if they have the money to finish it!)

Have fun
