steady on sam
been going to the nw 200 for years and seen no fighting at all don,t want to scare any lads from coming over
its turned into a week long event now lots going on all week with a good atmosphere and you can get real close to the action
if your on the inside of the circuit you can move from corner to corner :thumbup:

Wouldnt want to put anybody off going to a roadrace, it needs all the support It can get, just the nw attracts a lot of people who arent there for the racing and trouble has flared up in the past in the juniper section,apart from that its still a good days racing and all the big guns are out
