Always leave room for improvement. However, I was there on the 16th not the 27th dude. You must be talking about yourself.

To those who did not attend you missed half a dry day.

The morning was just wet and misserable and I spent the time getting the new tyres on and after a few fueling issues (Thanks again to Phil and Neil) were sorted got out on track in the afternoon.

I am no expert but the new tyres do seem to be head and shoulders above the old ones. The bad point is I think we will be using more thyres this year as I suspoect they are going to go off quicker. Got out found a few more things I need to do. Seats not quite right for me, couple of itrems to refresh. Seat needs to be supported more. Looks like a cracking track and a good addition to the calendar.

Looking forward to brands

how'd you get on with the new riding position? I find the pegs a little low and forward, but you must be able to tuck in on the straights now..

As Mark say's. Just to add a couple of things I found. The tyres without doubt give far far more grip in the wet that the Pirelli's. This also seemed to apply in the drying/dry track where I managed to get into the 2 min 5 sec time. However after looking at the tyres today I reckon pushing hard on a hot day and an 18 lap race you could destroy a pair.

Great day had by all though, well up to a point.
