How about you?

I'm not surprised - but they were lovely trophies though - thank you very much Gordon!

I for one hope that all the pre-season camaraderie doesn't become a "them and us" in the paddock, whenever and wherever the paddock ends up?



Mind you, it wouldn't be racing if it didn't.....

BTW Chris you are quite right Cadwell and Mallory Park are further north than Birmingham by in the region of 1-2 degrees N longitude. How's that for geography ?

I also posted "tongue in cheek" hence the smiley but then Mr. Bushell will always take cheap shots at others, outside the clique, just the same as he did with Imola Duke.

It's not worth it mate

You could not wish for a better bunch of people in the new era paddock
racing in DD

So see you in 2010

When in god's name are we gonna have a proper race calendar?

The holiday planner for next year looks like it's been shot with a blunderbus and I've got no days left.


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.

I suspect a fair amount of wheeling and dealing, present giving and back slapping amongst circuit owners, series organisers, race club officials, BSB teams, BTCC officials, BRDC officials etc will take place between next week and first week in the new year. New Era are going to announce new classes etc, eveyone else is being cagey. MSV only have major dates on their calender, leaving room for additional major race weekends (BTCC, BSB, trucks, bicycles, decathalons, and anything else they hire out the tamac for)

It's been interesting and entertaining to say the least on this forum, with people throwing dummies out, being cantankerous (me included) and generally melodramatic about dates etc. I have to book flights back to the Uk, so think how I feel........ So I travel a bit further than some others, north or south by 1 - 2 degrees ;-) rolleyes:

When the the dust settles, the flag will drop............then the real whinging will begin!
