the 'not for points' race 3 was a blast to watch, very impressed by ali with a couple of very smooth passes on he brakes into the hairpin.

Top Quality entertainment, my round trip was less than 70 miles, but I paid my 12 quid to get in, and was not disappointed, (apart from the sparse grids for all the other races).
Well done to all organisers and competitors for making it happen with true Ducati style.

The DD races were by far the best for spectators all day and well worth coming for.

Well done to all the riders and to everyone involved in making it happen

Definitely worth the trip out and the noise as 30 Ducati,s thundered towards the first hairpin nearly brought a tear to my eye . Well done all , you where all winners in my opinion

We had a brilliant day out on Sunday. Took the family, my lad left with a yearning to "have a go" - not sure if that is good or bad (potentially bad for my wallet perhaps!).

His observation was - The DD races were more like "sound of thuder" than the SoT. He has a point ... sounded fantastic. Some good competitve racing in the DD too. Well done to all for makign it happen.

Best races of the day. The first half dozen or so looked very good, only one orange bib amongst them though. The winner looked super smooth in both races. Loads of battles down the field and most racers seem to have got bitten by the bug.

There was a big variation in speed out there and it wasn't just down to the bikes.

As a very interested spectator I don't get all this "works" bike and "big bore" hot air. If someone has built a bike that complies with the letter of regs then thats good enough???
Gentlemans ( and ladies) agreements in racing at any level??You're having a larf??
What next retrospectively ban carbon bodywork, testing/track days before meetings, peeps who have done CSS, expensive engine oil, new tyres, dealer supported entries, "blueprinted" motors, ohlins suspension, where does it all end??



Ray.
