I just cant get my head round the times that people are looking at. Anyone considering a 1.03 lap at Mallory must remeber that this will be approximately 1 second faster than the fastest lap there last year in Class B.

I know I am capable of 1.09s so I need to be able to do 1.05 or 1.06 regularly to take into account the new tyres. Last year that sort of pace would have seen me highly placed, this year I will be towards the back.

Just cant get my head round the new times!

Remember that Mr Lawson only managed a 58.9 around Brands last year, and how many of us were under that this year? 4 of us were within a quarter of a second of the Brands lap record (which was a second under last years time).... So not such a stretch to say we could see 1m03s at Mallory.

I have to say "I remember that lap" and I have never and will probably never ride like that again, it was a perfect lap, in my opinion right at the edge of what was possible on that bike on those tyres. nobody else got close that day. It was awesome! I even got a power wheely on the left to right through surtees!

obviously I was hoping for a few laps like that this year I really should have had Listers record considering the amount of laps I have done there, even (and I mean this in the nicest possible way) Neil nearly got it and he lives 5 hours away!
