Some great performances by the look of it. Hope DNF's are all ok.

Seems a very thin grid, 8 class A bikes and 8 class B bikes qualified, even less raced?
Congrats to Harriet for another two race wins, and to Andy Shep for wrapping up the championship.
Any incidents?

Scroll down to Sunday, looks like about 11 of each. Saturday only counts for NE points so always has a thinner DD attendance.

Ah, I was looking at Saturday was I?? Must pay more attention . . . .

Check out Dallas's new Class B lap record of 1m 08.92s (page 131) 1.5 seconds off last years

He knocked it off a bit in race 2 when he nearlly high sided coming out of Honda, at the time he didn't know why the bike the rear had come around on him like it did but when we got back to Oxford the rear tyre was flat so it looks like he picked up a puncture


Weather was fantastic for late September even I managed a 1m 10s in the allcommers, that was 3 seconds better than last year and almost half a second better than I did in 2005 on my 583 in a Minitwins race

Wow, Dalis was a lucky boy then that it was a slow puncture. May have had another sec without that puncture ?

I think that apart from the allcomers race, again the biggest grids by far was the DD grids, even the 125-650cc allcomers race was 50% DD bikes.

Speaking of thin Grids check out Sunday's SOT races and if Paul Willis hadn't turned up as he normally races with North Glos there would only have been 4 bikes out there, unlike Saturday where a few familiar names helped make up the numbers adding a 749, a 999 and a 1098 to the grid.

Thin grids must be put down to there being back to back race weekends, especially with the next one being the last. The wallet told me I was only ever going to do one of them and I'm sure I'm not the only one!
Any chance this can be avoided next year and are the fixtures for 2010 available yet as holidays will need to be booked?
Fair play and well done to all that raced though.

Due to financial losses last year New Era struggled with securing race meetings for this year, even Pembrey was a provisional date until at least March this year.
Dispite the new format this year giving rise to some very well run meetings, turnout has still been on the low side.
Hopefully New Era can survive this reccession and be around next year, but hoping for any race dates now for 2010 just isn't going to happen, even when things were better for the club it usually took until December to organise a provisional; race calendar.
