Have a great time at Snetterton and remember.. its Club Racing.

Seem to recall it got a bit overheated at Brands, 1st round last year.

Very little track time for anyone today. Friday testday was badly effected by fog. syill it gave a couple of the DD guys the oppotunity to crash. but all ok and bikes back together. Lets hope its better conditions tomorrow for the racing

Anyone fitted snow ploughs to the front of their bikes yet?!

[bradders]

Outboard motor would have been needed today, the plough comes tomorrow

Nooo - Hannah was horribly unwell & electircs had ate themselves at house so i had to work her shift & sort out leccy.
Gutted to miss this, but, as the irish wolfhound in Lady & The Tramp said - "miserable being meets more miserable being....is happy!" - as i heard of vile conditions at Snetterton i cheered up. Sorry - so very sorry!

Full report ASAP.

I've booked sunshine and 12 degrees for you.

I was right Neil you were missing a decimal point, but with our racing canceled and only a couple of practice day sessions available due to fog the majority kept it upright.
Shame you didn't heed your own advice and keep it shiny side up. Congrats on Pole but looks like your outing at Brands went pear shaped from there!
How bad is the bike

Cheers Kev.
Yeah p1ss poor all round weekend for everyone. Crash was flat on entry to Paddock hill. Did nowt different than before it just sometimes happens you know that. Crash tooks all the fairings off, tank off, levers, bars, reservoirs, battery. Managed to get it some bit like for race 2 but it stalled on the warm up lap then spit the dummy out all together.
Angry got took out in his first race and crashed in the second with a throttle problem.
And DD got cancelled
If the hottrax grid was full enough at Snett I will probably do the Oulton round of Supercup. Either way I will see you there.

Its great to see ex DD guys running at the front of other series no matter what club, Sam's done it, your doing it and hopefully Andy will be doing it soon. As it shows that DD is a good grounding for anyone wanting to go racing especially if they are on a low budget/self funded

I'm also hoping Dallas will be able to get in amongst the top guys in MotoGrande once he's got his Blade sorted and dialled in

Absolutely. DD should be made compulsary for all new racers.

I wonder how many seasoned racers look back at there first club with the same warmth that DD creates?
