[Cranker V2]

I really enjoyed all the races over the Anglesey weekend, great fun and some hard, but fair Mr Steward, passing in the midfield scrap by us all. MY bike was running on one cylinder most of the time during practice (2 laps then pulled in) and qualy (3 laps then in). I found a poor connection onto the vertical cylinder coil, it was ok on the paddock stand but vibrating like a dog sh*tting when riding and not giving a spark to the cylinder.

Sats races fun, but ran out of steam> I am so unfit.

Sunday ok in warm-up and got a good time, or so I thought. I forgot to put my transponder on! MY times of the beacon would have put me third on grid.

However, my brain was not plugged into body after a night in the van. SO was given last palce on the grid. Until Tom Roberts arrived asking me when warm-up was, he had not arrived in time from his huge farmhouse and had spent the morning feeding the hunting dogs.


A good start again sun saw me in third after the banking. i held out for 4 laps until I was so pooped again. The BB boys (badger n Bradders ) got past and I looked behind me and saw a clear track. Let em race for the trophies I thought, me is old, fat n pooped.

I ended up on the Dyno on Sunday afternoon, with a output of 47bhp! 3 up on the last motor. Yippee. It does give for good starts though as I was amazed at the places I made up on the first two corners on each race. Last row of the grid is a tough old starting position.
