I only have one excuse... the nob riding my bike!

rain will just mean cleaning the bike afterwards, won't affect my result.

Rain, Yes please !!!!!
I'm sure my 583cc bike will not be at such a disadvantage in a wet race, on top of that I'm happy racing in the rain, had a real good time a few years back at Thruxton in the Streetstock class on my Fireblade on road tyres, can't understand why they abandoned the meeting after that race as I was due out in the next race for the SOT and had full wets to play with. Just because a few were falling off.

But as Phil says there is the issue of the bike, on its one and only test it had a problem doing more than 3 laps of a 1.5km track and then just died. At least your bike Phil will probably get to the chequred flag providing you keep it upright.

Might just bring my bike as it stands and give it a go

Thats great for you steve...BUT many of us are on bikes that have problems..and its diffacult to drum up your positive attitude when you know you have bike issues..im sure your bike was running sweat as when u went out to race.?
