cadwell class B with a fast bike and good rider will be beaten if weather conditions are right

I'm not so sure on that one Paul. I was a knats off Rons time at Anglesey I was in the 1:21.769 where Ron posted 1:21.734.
I think Anglesey could fall, if the weather and the wind is kind/helpful.

arrogant warning again....sorry....I would have beaten Cadwell on your bike. I was ahead of it twice when chassis let go and put me on the grass at bottom of the mountain. It will go. And I think I know the person already who will do it...just hope he doesn't crush aim number 5

The interesting one for me is Oulton, this year the times seemed miles away???? Ok wasnt exactly baking but there was one dry race from memory and Sam was going at a dry pace on his blade

and Donny on these new tyres??? Who knows....

With these Dunlops and fine weather I think Donny will go. Mr Appleby was only 0.5 ish from taking the flying Listers record at Brands. so that another poss.

Plusw there are also new records to be set in class 1C or C1, or whatever it is. Ok just class C will do for me................

Class 1C for Classic superbike class, not a hard one to work out

[Cranker V2]

FFS cant it just be class C, or are we going to get B1 1B 2D or even god bless em 38DD on the grid!

It is a mistake to assume a record will or won't go based on last year. I did that with Castle Combe. I was very close in my first season, but no nearer the second year on a better bike with better tyres. It is a different year with different riders on a different day. Anything could happen.

Brands - wrong time of year, but I think 3 of us were within half a second last year. Depends on weather and how much anyone pushes...

Anglesey - Phil had a (ahem) very light bike with plenty of power, but with Sam, Phil and I all getting similar times it clearly isn't impossible... However, conditions were near perfect for Anglesey. Are you on the same track layout this year?

Cadwell - Bradders and I were very close, but neither of us had the quickest bikes.... But conditions were very good.

Donny - new layout, new record

Snetterton - I think Neal could have gone quicker, but he clearly had a dodgy fuel pump in the dry race.

Oulton - It was cool and wet/damp all day. I had quicker times from the dry practice day, but Sam's time is pretty impressive!

Not to mention the changes to the circuit since DD last raced there
