off off off!
Oh ********!

Thats what I said every time I ran off the track at Oulton Park.

Ran off in the all comers qualifying, Qualified 7th
Ran off in the all comers Race, Finished 16th

Ran off in the Desmo Due Qualifying, Qualifyed 11th
Ran off in race 1, finished 6th in class
Ran off in race 2 (3 times) Finished 5th in class

Gravel at Oulton is deep if anyone wondered.
Grass is wet, slippery and bumpy!

Please, someone post me a map.

Cadwell Park here we come,

I would like to mention that respect goes out to Harriot after witnessing one of the biggest tank slappers i've ever seen whilest overtaking me. she kept it pinned (I don't think I would have) rode through it and still made it stick. I tried the same move on the last lap and ended up... you guessed it... off the track.

It's not just you my friend, I visited the green stuff in both qualifyers and all 3 races, suppose that's what you get for nicknaming your bike "badger". I even went on it at the 1st corner in DD race 1 which brought a sarcastic comment about motocrossing from the commentator much to the humour of the wife an kids.
Unlike yourself though I ended up finishing in the high 20s, nearly being lapped by said tankslapper.
Off to the green track of Cadwell next, see you there.

Nothing to do with you going to single disk and running out of braking power then Matt?
