Hats off to the marshal though he quised me as to why i had fallen asking if there was anything on the track, and even went back for another look to be sure even after i told him it was my fault.

B u g g e r!!!

A bit of bad luck really, nevermind. Thanks for saying that about the marshall's though, I thought they were excellent.

What was it like watching from there? I've never walked around out there to watch anyone.

Cheeky bastid! I actually meant the bloke who was heading up the show (forgotten his name), I was impressed how they organised things. If that was a track day run by a few other TDO's it would have been a red flag. They worked with WJB quite well and there was an excellent rapport between them.

WJB is an excellent asset to this club!

Gissa go on the CBR WJB?

Another quick note of thanks to the Marrshalls and also the Cadwell medics - I did get a check-up as they were concerned about neck/back injuries.

All was fine fortunately, but they were decent, thorough guys and although I didn't initially want the check-up I'm relieved that they insisted as it put my mind at rest that the aches and pains I felt were not serious.

Not everyone can harness the power though TP.

Be careful what you wish for

You're right, I was quite intimidated by the whole thing but I had a good chat with WJB and he set my mind at ease.
