He he, I remember that day well Gerry :)
Had my own Llandow moment at the fast chicane though last year when I hit a 3 foot cone which smashed the belly pan and gave a rush of brown adrenaline!

Castle combe is ok as a local track but I find the biggest problem is the lack of track time as you get only 1 x 10min session per hour which includes 1 or more sighting/ warm up laps. The other...
I'm going to try and get my off-roader MoTed in time for this, will be looking to join A group darting from blade to make some noise. You may have irritated me on track by having more natural...
What an absolute tragedy for his friends and family, one of the nicest, genuine people I have had the pleasure of meeting.
RIP Mikkie.
Sorry to appear negative but have you raced before or not?
If not I think you might struggle as you will first need to get rid of your novice license (finished a race on 10 racing days at 3...
No last lap heroics though Mr Simpson although I would like to put it on record that you, Lucinda and Chappers all have larger capacity bikes than me and Shammy. Excuse No1 officially logged :)
It wasn't me who was the slowest, think I came about 35th out of 42 starters, bloody hard work too and PB lap times on both days :)
I appear in your video so am quite interested in this post being one of the slower riders out there. I also was in the " I could ride faster than that brigade" before i started racing and it isn't as...
Goods weekends racing hopefully some of you managed to make it
Anybody going?
I'll be there monitoring the back of the 600 class :)

Not surprising really, Micheal Rutter, multiple Macau GP winner, BSB race winner, NW 200 winner etc etc :) Very nice looking BMW S1000RR, get yourself to Brands Hatch next weekend for the first round...
You should receive detailed instructions from NiƱo sometime soon hopefully but I think you might be needing to leave earlier than that :( Sign in is usually 8 Ish, maybe earlier, arrive early if...
Guys, just be sure that you have facts to back up any statements you make on a public forum in case anybody takes offence. The thread started off on Afghan Heroes but has morphed to H4H. I have no...
My bikes do not have lights, you do not get a daytime Mot just an advisory to say "lights not fitted at time of test" do not use at night or in poor visibility
Might be worth sending it again if you haven't heard anything as he is keen to get new marshals. If you don't hear anything after that I can try and give him a poke if you let me know.
He's usually fairly prompt in replying so I assume he has been either busy with Racesafe as they have been finalising the arrangements for next year or on Holiday.
Hopefully I might see one or two of you next season but just in case there are any questions the link below is a link to an interview with the gloriously eccentric Biggles which pretty much answers...
Some good memories :) The majority are still down to earth and appreciate what we do which is always nice.
Cool, hopefully see you at Brands Hatch in April then :)
In response to Loops.
I do track marshaling which is divided into two bits really, pick up and flags both of which are self explanatory. I have picked quite a few of the top riders and bikes at...
If anybody fancies having a go at marshalling at bike racing have a look at the following extract from the NGRRC website:
How Do I Become A Road Race Marshal?
IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO A ROAD RACE...
Nearly hit two of them last year on the way back from Poole. One went each side of the bike, too close for comfort!!
It is rebuilt now and is a Premier Inn stayed there this time last year for a trackday. Hotel was standard Premier Inn but the food in the pub was nice!!
This was the subject of a Mythbusters episode and the verdict was fake - Busted
Yippee, got a nice letter from the Polis this morning saying the penalty had been cancelled as "the wrong type of ticket was issued for the offence". It seems the Sun was really shining that day :)
