Dom, just to set one record straight. Geof Spencers bike was legal at 670-the rule was changed later. We were advised by a Ducati expert that there were no big bore 620 kits available and none were likely to become available until this year-didn't stop the Baines brothers from making their own though did it......... Geof offered to reduce the capacity of his bike back to standard if we could come up with some barrels for him, a lot of favours were called in and barrels obtained.
The bottom line is he wasn't cheating so kept his points, you weren't cheating(as I stated earlier having watched on Saturday I never believed you were) and have kept your points and won the championship-so once again well done and well ridden. As I think I said to you at the end of last year it's about time your class showed-well you have shown it all year.

John

Any idea why his bike had hi-comp pistons in then when it was sold?

The difference is, everyone now knows that I didn't have to cheat or spend £000's on my engine to win DD - where as we can only take your word for it that Geoff's bike was legal.

Fact and fiction.

Fil...nothing to worry about with that one now, SPR stripped and rebuilt it with the regs in their hands. Any doubts, give them a shout

I won't be protesting you mate.

If you win it's coz you're faster.

The guys you race against will soon know if anyone is cheating or not. Not sure how Antony knew how fast Chass's bike was from so far back, but there you go. At least it wasn't all based on rumour!!

Tony had standard 620 pistons put back in because it is not legal to run hi comp pistons in 2006.But it was in 2005.
