I think that was the round where we only got 2 practice laps as well, wasn't it?

I remember that one well, 2006, following Neeves'y on the multistrudle.

It was my first ever race meeting and I got 3rd & 4th on the relatively little altered road bike.

It was Jamie Wilkins from Fast Bikes - he did a good write up in the mag!

Now I remember that it was the second season of DD (first with Class A and B) and the first time we'd been to Oulton to race as well.
