Hey Folks,
Well that was an experience!
Was there from Thursday, camped up wi Dom #4 n Dean #117 in scrutineering shed. Glad we did as it was high winds and chucked it down.
Suprisingly the No Limits Trackday was dry. Had a good day and last session was a blast, although had an attempt highside at the top right hand hairpin.
Paul C was there (Sparks n all
and a lot of other DD'ers. Met TP and some others.
Went home Sat as I was missing my little boy
Sunday.....
Up for it...first damp race. third lap behind Dean, i saw him cut in the inside of Matt Lawson in a great manouvre at Church, only to lose the back end and head off to see the actual church over the grass! Harriet followed suit on the next lap also mimicking Deans grace in 'floor gymnastics'.
Next lap, I gassed it too hard out of the Banking and lost the rear going down wi mi bike on top o me, ruining my boot i might add. ....back to paddock where the "A-team" music commenced... we locked ourselves in the Gazebo with nothing but Gaffa tape and our experience from 'Nam... we emerged with our bikes fixed and ready to go again. George Peppard wudda been proud!
Confidence screwed up i tip toed araound like a panzy for the rest of the races and finshed accordingly.
However, Dean was made of sterner stuff, and finished 12th overall and 7th class B! Nice one mate. Dom finished 2nd Class B.
Craig Fisher rocketed past me out of Church on the last lap of race two, nice one mate!
Dont know if anyone else saw the incident in the Allcomers on Sunday on the back straight where a lad got run off the track having a bad tumble, happened in front of me. very unsporting I thought! (wave my fist Meldrew style)
Looking at the grid attendance at some of the other races on Sunday, I think DD did well and put a fair few out, giving a good show.
Despite my pants results, had a great weekend, the Vids will be on our site within the next day or two. Happy viewing.
