You should have taken part in the old MCC meetings there, they held one bike race meeting a year, always at Silverstone and always at this time of year.
As such the conditions were often wet
I remember a lad called Mark Bishop always going well in the wet on his YZF750, think that had something to do with his 18 stone or more adding some extra grip.
I also recall watching a great race for about 6th in the 600 class with Simon Knowlson on wets and Adrian Crosson using Pirelli Dragons that he had used at the Manx GP a couple of months earlier, its amazing how quickly a really smooth rider can go in the wet even on road based tyres.

To right something akin to a No Go Zone around you where I'm concerned, wait until you read my Pembrey report

Very apt Mathew, and very quick at times too.

Only one request, keep an eye out for yellow flags, passed me on a demon move at Pembrey under YELLOWS!!!!!
