Have to say what a hero to Dan Linfoot, Brit wildcard in the 125 who got an amazing result. He's comes from my hometown. Only peever is that he was using different bodywork to normal, and his normal bodywork has my name all over it. Got home at 1930 after 120 miles of heavy rain (added to the 8 hours of the bleeding stuff from Donny) to find the boiler at home is playing up so can't dry my stuff ready for TA4. Wet gloves, boots and leathers around Cadwell, Hmm-hmmmmmmmmmmmm | |

As Lily has said we made our move just as the 250 boys were coming out, got out of the circuit ok (as were quite a few others it has to be said) and got home and turned the TV on as the red lights went out, couldn't of timed it any better | |

Despite the weather,I reallt enjoyed the racing and perversely,the ride home. Marko and I got geared up in the exhibition centre after the racing.We got straight out of the circuit and I was home for around 6.30.The Multistuka went very well in the poor conditions,only had two slides,...one little one on some overbanding near Melton,and one big one on a roundabout five miles from home. | |

| Registered Forum User Big Twin Posts: 1,698 Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Braintree, Essex. Mood: :devil: Myself, Welshy and another mate endured the rain all day. We were so ill prepared that we had no waterproofs and only one umbrella. Even after buying welshy more trousers, another fleece and an umbrella, we were still soaked to the skin. But then the MotoGP boys came out...we dropped our brollies...and went mad. It was such a laugh just jumping up and down in the rain, shouting at people to drop their brolies so we could see the big TV as well After the racing had finished we had a 20 mintue walk back to the secret parking space and then off we drove, not a traffic jam in sight  | |
