Popkat at Lydden Hill.

Post by MacV2 »

Went down to Lydden Hill to watch Popkat in action today.

Met up with Mark Glsr at Medway services & while we were waiting for Marty to not show up... :x a guy walked up to us & said ''Are you going to Lydden''

Er yes says I...Turns out it was a bloke I used to work with 20 years ago ! He handed us two free entry tickets...Woo hoo free stuff!

Any way got to the circuit, found Popkat, two wins & a second yesterday & he went on to win two more today + some other placings...Boy done well.

Cheers Mac, good to meet up again, good to meet glsr too, lovely bike that one :)

Tally for the weekend

4 x Production wins

3 x superbike 1 class wins and one 2nd, not first on track in these as other classes were in the same race, but beat lots of TZ's and superbike 2 class bikes though :D

After 2 meetings I'm leading Production with 200 points, leading superbike 1 with 190 points. I will add that It really shouldn't be possible to do that well in superbike on a proddy bike, but the bikes that should be up there all seem to have problems or are crashing...got to be in it to win it though :lol:

I Always liked Kevin Schwantz, when I came back to racing in 2012 I was on a old Yamaha XJ600, the first road race bike Schwantz rode was an FJ600, USA version of our XJ, so I decided to race number 34.. Schwantz took the 34 number from his early team mate Wes Cooley, who was an AMA superbike champion, Cooley had a career ending crash and Schwantz took over then number, Cooley raced a yoshimura Katana amongst other bikes in his career, so the number fits well with the kat.
