A fantastic days racing in which consistancy paid off if you look at the attached table. Geof Spencer lived up to his pre race status by getting a clean sweep and so leads the series. Dave Riley lead the second race until falling at the hairpin which pushed him way down the table. The 2 DLS bikes showed great consistancy and again it paid off. Too many good rides to mention everyone, but I have to pay tribute to Mike Atack, only picked the Multistrada up on Wednesday before the weekend, got torpedoed in race 1 by and unlucky Domski who suffered a suspected broken wrist. Bent the bike back into shape-including the swing arm!-and went out in race 2 and finished it-respect is due. Also Dave Harris, every time I saw him he was working sorting out someone elses bike, and he still raced and finished both races-good on you mate.
The only major problem which the first event seems to have thrown up-apart from the 620 versus 583 debate-is that the single disk bikes seem to be running out of brakes. Most people running single disks seemed to be spending lots of time changing fluid, pads, disks, calipers even trying to get the brakes to last the distance. I believe personally that this will only be a problem at Cadwell Woodland since you have 2 maximum braking area's close together with a very short lap and so not enough time for the brakes to cool down-time will tell if I'm right or not.
Welcome to club racing boys-fun isn't it??

See you all at Castle Combe

Ah, I see what's happened... study the scoring system in the regs and there's a mistake.
Also, I didn't know Alan Knight was on the grid!!!

[dickieducati]

yeah i need 1 more point too!

could make all the difference at the end of season ( yeah right!)

[ericthered40]

I had ant for 11th in race one?

[Rattler]

Summink aint rite !!

I finished in the same spot both races and have different points for the 2???

Are the official results different from what I thought?

Are these official standings or just an early indicator?

There's just been a small mistake, I think we should give Monty a bit of time to sort it out and we'll see what's happening.

Alternatively, phillc has scanned the race results in on another thread and that combined with the scoring system, kindly posted by Lin, will make things clear for you.
