I think you could also be a contender Mr Bin- Ali

Well, lets make it formal chas

I nominate Ali

[fil2]

I nominate chris woods for his snetterton " rodeo " dismount

Most crashes in 583:
must be a tie between Cleggy (everywhere), Griff (most memorable at C/Combe) & Chris Wood for taking to the ground at speed so many times!!

Most in 620:
Ali (innit? )
oh, and perhaps TP? (edited to add TP - and to give apologies to Ali for mistaking him as a racer who crashes in races!)
Lots of "one off's" in this class throughout the season - Domski even - at Assen in practice eh?


Best crasher has surely got to be Chris Wood for his acrobatics at Snett - not forgetting his comical sidekick Eric the Red, for trying to save Chris & getting covered with tyre tread all over his leathers & bike!

Chris also managed that fantastic achievement of coming off in EACH race on the Sunday - is this a record in itself?

I've had to nominate Griff after his stunt show at Combe, and i didn't even mention following him into Redgate when he forgot to turn right!

Oi! No DNFs this year! Not one! Only two slight tarmac interactions...one in practise and one on a TD!

I think you'll find there have been others showing much more consistency than I!

Ali

Exactly

Its a style thing - griff is just so quiet about it all

its not worth awarding the golden tank to someone who is quiet now is it

[couchcommando]

Chris Woods and Griff get my vote, Griff for building the prettiest bike and spending all year trying to destroy it
