Good luck all DD'rs next week
 

Well I hope you all have a great time racing next week at Snetterton. Remember you have a full year of racing ahead so keep it shiny side up.

Full report ASAP. :) :) :)

I've booked sunshine and 12 degrees for you.

Unlike my last visit there
My winter prep is way behind Schedule having done very little to the bike and the new van is slowly getting there but still a long way off how I finally want it.

Thanks for booking the weather Neil but I reckon you have either missed out the decimal point or the word "to" :lol:

Cheers Neil, great to catch up with you and Toni last week.
Unlike previous years there is a distinct lack of predictions this year. :D

Yea ditto Racers, have a great weekend.
Still may come up on my bike yet and watch the show.
£5 bet on who does a jump start first time with the lights :lol:

Craig

Just one !!!!! :lol:

Since i've got the days booked off work i'll see if i can pop up and see what i'm missing!

Yes best of luck. I had to give it a miss because of work unfortunately, but I am glad I wont'be in the kold...brrrr
Don't forget thermals :D
See you @ Oulton

i predict i won't be there and will be decorating my new house with gritted teeth :lol:

especially all the newcomers .. you'll love it

Best of luck chaps. Hope you all have a good trip out and hopefully catch up with you at Oulton.

All the best
Mark

Have a great time at Snetterton and remember.. its Club Racing.

Seem to recall it got a bit overheated at Brands, 1st round last year.

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power". Abraham Lincoln ...53 horse power should do it

Very little track time for anyone today. Friday testday was badly effected by fog. syill it gave a couple of the DD guys the oppotunity to crash. but all ok and bikes back together. Lets hope its better conditions tomorrow for the racing

Anyone fitted snow ploughs to the front of their bikes yet?!

Outboard motor would have been needed today, the plough comes tomorrow

ha ha
 

did you pop up and see what DD is all about?

Nooo - Hannah was horribly unwell & electircs had ate themselves at house so i had to work her shift & sort out leccy.
Gutted to miss this, but, as the irish wolfhound in Lady & The Tramp said - "miserable being meets more miserable being....is happy!" - as i heard of vile conditions at Snetterton i cheered up. Sorry - so very sorry!

I was right Neil you were missing a decimal point, but with our racing canceled and only a couple of practice day sessions available due to fog the majority kept it upright.
Shame you didn't heed your own advice and keep it shiny side up. Congrats on Pole but looks like your outing at Brands went pear shaped from there!
How bad is the bike

Cheers Kev.
Yeah p1ss poor all round weekend for everyone. Crash was flat on entry to Paddock hill. Did nowt different than before it just sometimes happens you know that. Crash tooks all the fairings off, tank off, levers, bars, reservoirs, battery. Managed to get it some bit like for race 2 but it stalled on the warm up lap then spit the dummy out all together.
Angry got took out in his first race and crashed in the second with a throttle problem.
And DD got cancelled :o
If the hottrax grid was full enough at Snett I will probably do the Oulton round of Supercup. Either way I will see you there. :D

Its great to see ex DD guys running at the front of other series no matter what club, Sam's done it, your doing it and hopefully Andy will be doing it soon. As it shows that DD is a good grounding for anyone wanting to go racing especially if they are on a low budget/self funded

I'm also hoping Dallas will be able to get in amongst the top guys in MotoGrande once he's got his Blade sorted and dialled in

Absolutely. DD should be made compulsary for all new racers. :)

I wonder how many seasoned racers look back at there first club with the same warmth that DD creates?

I do,
which is one of the reasons I got involved, so others could experience the same sort of thing

back then the biggest bike you could start on as a novice was a 600 which were mainly around 90 rwbhp and with Airfields as our main race venues with hardly any facilities we soon learnt to make new friendships
