Hats off to the marshal though he quised me as to why i had fallen asking if there was anything on the track, and even went back for another look to be sure even after i told him it was my fault.

B u g g e r!!!

A bit of bad luck really, nevermind. Thanks for saying that about the marshall's though, I thought they were excellent.

What was it like watching from there? I've never walked around out there to watch anyone.

Cheeky bastid! I actually meant the bloke who was heading up the show (forgotten his name), I was impressed how they organised things. If that was a track day run by a few other TDO's it would have been a red flag. They worked with WJB quite well and there was an excellent rapport between them.

WJB is an excellent asset to this club! :D

Gissa go on the CBR WJB? :p

Yeah, what he said - can I play on the CB though? :D

Old habits and that ;)

Another quick note of thanks to the Marrshalls and also the Cadwell medics - I did get a check-up as they were concerned about neck/back injuries.

All was fine fortunately, but they were decent, thorough guys and although I didn't initially want the check-up I'm relieved that they insisted as it put my mind at rest that the aches and pains I felt were not serious.

I fancy a go on the CB as well actually, I could have had a go but forgot about it!

You're right, I was quite intimidated by the whole thing but I had a good chat with WJB and he set my mind at ease.

:p
