what were they doing there then?

I heard it was a Watchdog crew - god knows what they were up to. They were filming the pit lane and some action from the entry into Druids, what were they up to?

Were they looking for some unscrupulous passing?

L plate Stu here,

Guys,

it was only a small little comment with no bad feelings intended re:- (couldn't believe how fast some of the novice group were going),it was meant as a complement and to encourage the likes of me who personaly have never or hardly done this kind of thing before,but do you all remember your first time?? Lets face it,we all think that we're the best,fastest and if it wasn't for that ,i would have been faster.... but to go from being a fairly road aware rider to track day god takes a lot of untraining and reprograming.

And perhapes it also gave me a damd good excuse over my percieved poor,personal performance!!!

Hee hee

Well done to every one involved and a i think i'll keep the L plates on for the next one too if that O K.

I had a great evening with his Lordship and Dibbs. Bit of a mixed day in all, got bloody cold in the lunch hour and I ate too much, so much that I felt bloated for the first session after lunch, so I sat it out. worst part of the day for me was to see TP looking very solumn, cheer up fella. Best part of the day, taking Tims proper DD race bike out, there would be more room on a three year olds push bike

The guy on the BM told me he was in the fast group because he didn’t like upsetting folks in the inters by overtaking them on his bimer.

Eighty thousand miles on that bike

Nothing left of his cylinder guards loading it on to the trailer Nice to chat to you mate

There was me thinking he was in the fast group coz he was going like stink.

I think I might have made his day. I had just gone past him before braking for Paddock H Bend, I could hear a right clatter and thought something was about to drop off the bike so I was a bit reluctant to peel into the turn at full speed. The beemer guy came past me at this point, I can imagine him thinking, To55er. Seeing nothing wrong I shot past him again before braking for Druids, again I could hear this clatter behind me and again he came past He must have thought, yes a proper t055er.

I don't reckon I'd get bored of your RR though - well sorted piece of kit. You're a lucky fella and no mistake.

I say that gravel’s deep over there. That man is standing next to his bike up to his knees.
Must be two-foot or more over there the bikes upright up to the tank in it. Marshals waving, he’s waving,
O well carries on with the rest of druids. Class
