Its next weekend keep an eye out for fast red storm on the track. They have asked me to start at the back because red is so much faster than any other colour.

Dirty bike due to flooded campsite but at least the track was dry for 2 of my sessions.

the threat of sh1t weather stopped my mates from going, so I went out for a 3hr ride in the morning on my own..........never got rained on, but did go through places that had just had serious rain. .......what was it like at Mallory on sunday?
If I had got signed up for one of the track sessions I would have gone even if it was going to rain, but didnt fancy being a wet spectator with no mates!

Dont know how fast I went I know I saw 130 but its a very short track. On the way home however I saw 145 on the speedo :oops

The weather was ok and the entertainment was brilliant.

Iv got lots of footage if anyones interested.

I also hold the lap record for Mallory on a tandem on a very drunk Saturday night.
