[bradders]

Just reading the bumf for next week, and notice we are out for practice and qually with open solos up to 620?! Now it may just be us that attend - no idea - but if not then the grid will be a very small one at race at 1235 nd 1620 unless most DD enter

[Bionicle]

I just saw that myself had not looked earler when i got tickets,

I will not go out on the track with them, simple as that so i will be starting from the back of the grid for our race if i wanted to be out at the same time as them i would have joined their races.

Have just got off the phone with Trudi, she is not happy about it either but can not do anything until next week she will then let us know whats, what. But i will stand by what i said and will not go out for Qualy with them its as simple as that.

Looking at the timetable its not the F600 or extreme bikes out in practice and qualy with the DD bikes, but the classics . I can't see that being to overly agressive.

[bradders]

no - its not the IL4 600's - not sure what it is; 400's? 250's? KTM's? They must have a few to enter tho as they have two grids for this open class

I am one of those old codgers, I entered the Classic in that race to get a run out, looks like I won't be able to qualify now!!!! Tom Parkes will be out too, not sure he will want to be called an old Codger thou!!!

I know, I saw that on another thread

this is open class tho, so may be the old-timer bikes have a class of their own therefore qually of their own? I have the stuff here somewhere.....


EDITED: yep, Landsdowne has its own qually right before the DD one so best you get someone ready to swap bikes!

Bradders the Landsdown is different series, for original or replica thorough bred race bikes that are pre 1964. My classic is a 1971, donkey as far as they are concerned, so not eligible.

The open class will have 125, 250 strokers, 400, 500 4 strokes, and Classics, oh and maybe the odd Supermoto as well as the odd DD bike.

Will pi55 myself laughing if I manage to beat one of the DD bikes in the race thou!!!

[bradders]

great---full grid and hard to qualify with clear laps then!!

means you will only be able to do one then Steve, best check what NE have entered you for..and I think you may beat one or two

[bradders]
