just looking thru some old results, not sure why but Sam knocked in a few 1'48s yet not recognised? Not race day? Surely then it would replace the Matt Traynor one?

Some interesting times BTW

What track/date are you talking about? I assume Cadwell because you are normally talking about Cadwell and the time seems to fit.

I would guess only Qualifying/Race lap times count because they are controlled under DD rules, have parc ferme etc.... There is nothing to stop me whacking slicks on the bike on a practice day because no-one is checking.

ha sorry yeah Cadwell, clearly I'm that predictable

its a Sat race so not points race so doesn't count, but faster than Matt's which is somehow (dont know why - none others are) credited with the fastest lap around Cadwell on a B bike which is clearly wrong. 2009?? Maybe 2008 - when was Sam champion?

2009

Matt entered the August 2009 Cadwell meeting as a Class A entrant although racing on what was essentially a Class B bike, but as it was entered as Class A he would never be checked for Compliance with Class B rules only Class A.

As for Sam's Laps of 1m 48s they were on Chaz's OD2 Class A bike as far as I'm aware

really?? Ok I stand corrected; would explain why he was 3 seconds slower on race day! But I thought it said B class on the results...
