Donington competition!!!
Blimey - it seems every DD racer is gonna be up for Donny!!

Many recent conversations and postings with the DD'ers (and crews) seem to be pointing to an expectation of stepping-up, retribution, revenge or recovering for the August 13th spectacular.

Maybe its a mid-season, month lay-off type of thing that's given rise to an air of heightened expectation and anticipation.

Wilcard pilots, uprated steeds, freshly-schooled techniques and re-focussed application will all be on show.

- can't wait!!! - its gonna be a scream!!!

How dissappointing is that!
I saw "Donington Competition" and thought you were shouting a free track day!

Hey - great idea - maybe its time for a special Rattler award.

Maybe it could be ;

- brightest wheels!
- least sleep!
- lairyist(sp) boots!!
- most steamed up visor
- or "Best excuse for underperforming"

Yep that's it - maybe we could make some early nominations for this last category, almost like pre-qualifying for the race excuses.

I'll start with;

- "Poor preparation - I've only done Donny 18 times, I'd have cracked it on my nineteenth visit"

I've done Donny 3 times... 6 & 7 years ago!!

Do you still turn left at Redgate?

Hopefully we'll have 60bhp for Donny, and I can get my dirty mits on a pot at long last... fingers crossed!

I've never been to Donny, my bike won't be running, my legs have fallen off and I'm blind. I'll be happy with a top 10....

Yeah well I've got three broken arms, seven broken legs no depth perception and a slight lisp.

I'm looking for a top 30
