At last .. a local circuit for Senna/Skids/Dalis and myself. Only 3/4 hr away for me. Saying that I have only ever done 4 dry sessions of this circuit last wed. So I'll be as new to it as most newbies.
If any of you fancy hanging around the area we have the Popham Megameet the next day Sun. Skids and Senna are driving straigt there to camp up in the van and a few others. so there will be a BBQ that night and a few cans. Its a great event.

Might be an idea to persuade Ali Knight to turnout.
Jumped off more than once last time as I recall. Bent the bike into all shapes and back again!
Really quite entertaining unless your name is Anthony!
eek ! Soz!

CC is a great event, really entertaining and good support from the locals, the most 'packed stands' of spectators.

Track is good too, fast....oh yes.

Yep AK47 jumping of the bike 3 times in one day, one of which was on the start grid which made for a bad start for those of us behind him.
We would certainly prefer NO repeats of Antony's crash or Griffs for that matter but boy was he fast around there on that 583.
Also the venue of Paul Paynes class B win if I recall correctly

Think there would be any chance of a few sighting laps so we don't get in the way too much of people going for serious qualifying times?
Scott #50

Good idea about the extra sighting laps Scott. You're definitely not the only newbie, it'll be my first race since 1991 and my first at CC since 1986 (my first ever race in fact, and I crashed then), so can you all please give me a friendly wave as you lap me.

That start line episode was with me, I was lucky to stay onboard and I've got it all on film.

Hmmm, sounds like rather than race I should stand at Quarry Corner with my camera

Oddly enough, it was the same bike doing both things in different years!

Unfortunately I too will be watching this year rather than racing :-(
