Unlucky Chris, at least you got your money back. It must be very hard to made a decision on track safety for bikes. Would it have been Mallory officialc or New Era officials that made the decision?
Lucky me though, I was 2 inches away from competing. I'd called New Era, got a place and sorted out all my gear, the bike and the van, only to get a bit too tipsy on Christmas Day, so as I went to bed, the thought of getting up at 4.30am to get up there for scrutineering was not the best idea, particularly as I would definitely have been over the limit for driving, never mind racing. Seems I made the right choice in hindsight.
Ah well, exactly one month to go until Jerez......yee haa
