| YEP another excellent day spent at the Wiltshire circuit, Sorry I didn't meet up with anyone not even Bradders dispite a phone call. Didn't see that much of WJB either just a couple of times in the paddock and watched him cross the line as the 2nd CB500 in his first race (also the last CB500 not a strong class these days).
The Superbike races were excellent, I was acting as pit crew again for one of my mates which gave me free access to the pit lane and had me out on the grid with him fitting and removing tyre warmers and paddock stands just like the Rizzla Suzuki guys next to us.
Shame we didn't have a Brolly Dolly to match theirs (Ruth we could have done with your daughter especially with all those professional photographers there).
Doing the same job as me futher up the grid for HM plant Honda was none other than Taddy Okada.
Just before the first Superbike race all the participants plus a few others (Reynolds & Kagayama) took a trip around the circuit on a open top bus, it seemed really strange seeing so many of my mates up there with them and hopefully my mates wife got some decent pics.
Emmett and the ETi 998 looked and sounded awesome as it wipped past me as I stood at the pit wall.
It was nice to see that not all of the club racers got lapped the likes of Steve Lake and Phil Bevan putting in a good showing, even Drew Dorling only just got lapped and he was on his R6 in the first race.  |
