Yeah, well done Tim.

Good to see you back on your own bike and nice one to Nelly for spending 'The Match' putting your new loom in. 2 mins? On a recent trackday, there were only a few in the fast group dipped under on 180bhp beasts!!

What will it be like with the PC back in!!

Andy

Fantastic news Tim, did it all the correct way as one would expect from you.
Took your time to get the experience and convidence that you needed, while keeping the bike upright. I'm sure that elusive first place isn't too far away.

I agree Jon.

Tim has done it totally the right way. It's a great example to newbies on how to race. Learn what it's all about before jumping in head first.

Novices take note!

Certainly a contender for the title in 2007. No pressure like

Well done Rattlybollox (again)

The last chicane was truely superb lads... Andy stuffing Tim on the brakes (with broken bones) and Tim must have just thought "**** it, i'm not braking for the right hander" and stuffed him right back.

Tim Howard made the move there from TD/Wanabee into a true racer.... 12 months ago Tim, you'd have been 4th in that one... not only would you have lost the 2nd, but you'd have bottled it on pressure and lost 3rd to Ian.

Excellent mate... bloody well.done.

Thanks - I'd worked too hard to get to 2nd and I wasn't giving it up for anyone

Oi! I was 5th, does that mean I should go back to novice group on track days?!

Must admit though, the boy made some wicked moves. Going to be a right ding-dong at Donny.
