[ali]

Mornin all,

Right, after a days thrash there yesterday the crashin' odds are:

Riches : 10/1
Sear : 3/1
Esses (L) : 15/1
Esses (R) : 5/1
Bombhole : 20/1
Corum : 10/1
Russell (R) : 15/1
Russell (L) : 8/1
Pit Lane : 15/1
Engine Expires : Evens
Finishing the race : 100/1

The bookies are forcasting me going down in the 18th minute.... Excellent.

Camping

There's so much camping space at Snet, we could have an acre each! Can whoever gets there first please make sure they camp somewhere with loads of grass and loads of tarmac, that way those that want to camp together can do so. Should be quiet as a church mouse there as I'm sure the KRC lot won't turn up to watch our track day!

Finally, thanks to TP for the lift there and back, and to Dickie for the B,B&B (Bed, Beer & meat-fest BBQ! )

Cheers,

Ali

I'm going for Russel (left), on lap 6.

Hrmm .. dunno, I found it hard to get out of Russell (L) so you can get power onto that straight, I'm tipping you'll stay on because you have to!

Highside or a lowside? I've always seen it as a highside corner, but a guy did a stunning lowside tanksplat right in front of me yesterday, so I might revise my opinion.... And lap 6 seems a bit early?

I'm arriving Thursday evening at Snetterton for the trackday on Friday. Hopefully we can bag a nice spot before the KRC crews arrive.

The evens on the engine expiring worries me Noooo not my Max

i can see a few bikes and/or riders throwing in the towel or at least really flagging towards the end of the race.
even my 620 gave up on revett straight yesterday ( probably all those 1.15 laps!)

20 odds laps at over 90 mph average will take its toll.

Parking?

Best get in contact with Lin (Phoenix), Ali - she is going on the Thurs night - to do the ACU day on the Friday

Somebody give her the flag to take with her - unless anyone else is going then?

We are aiming for fri early eve arrival.

Nooo poor Max

He'll have new oil and filter and different plugs for this event then he's got a month off to recover. I do hope I don't kill him, i'd be devastated


Yes CK - a flag would be good

Folks

Timing is still being worked on to try and shorten the day so that people can get home at a reasonable time. I hope to have more news tail end of today or 1st thing tomorrow. Current objective is for racing to be finished by 16.00.
