Hottrax Report

Copied from Hottrax site.

It would be better reading if they differentiate between class A and B as it seems to assume one class.

Desmo Ducatis



Neil Appleby and Andy Challis looked a cut above over the weekend in Wales but it was Challis who took the win by less than a second on the road just a few bike lengths up the road from Matthew Lawson.

Half a minute adrift were Hugh Simpson with Neal Catling almost on the pillion seat, Paul Payne made up the top half dozen and the next four finishers were all covered by 1.5 seconds: Ron Jolley, Alan Parkes, Kevin Palmer and Phil Wilcock.
Appleby made no mistake on the Sunday to nail the win by a barely distinguishable less than four hundredths of a second from Saturday man Challis.

Lawson took another third from Catling, Dallas Hornblower, Palmer, Simpson and Wilcock – these three covered by a single sheet as they crossed the line.

Agreed!

Bit harsh that NeilC and I were described as "half a minute adrift", when really the pair of us put in lap after lap of 1:09s and in our class we finished almost 20secs ahead of 3rd place.

Listen, you know class 'B' is second to class 'A'. Therefore that suggests you are not as good or second rate. So stop whinging and buy a class 'A' bike.

Or better still scrap class A and let mayhem happen with all on class B.

If you think your hard enough.

Maybe one oof our talented wordsmiths could type the review and mail to Hottrax. That would save them work and we would be happier.
