No i hadnt.That is very close racing,under .03 between them.

I wanted to be there

We missed you - I had to take my bike off the stand myself a few times....

Thank you very much for your help. I hear you got stuck on the bbq for most of the day (while I'm getting my jollies on the hill

If the event gets any bigger, Saturday may have to become 'qualifying day'.

No probs Deano .. the masses needed feeding

apart fr the few glitches it was a well run weekend .. onwards & upwards can only see this being a draw card for the future

It was an interesting and at times very frustrating job being on the timing.... (now I know why the timing ladies always seem to be grumpy bitches! Sorry for being grumpy everyone but that was some pressure at times!) . AND by half way through Sunday I must say I was jealous as all hell at times watching all the riders come back into the pits amped up and grinning like mad things.

Luckily I had the best company to help keep me sane! It was a pleasure getting stressed out with you Trudy and you can be my cackle partner anytime

Between the two of us, ably assisted by Nigel (who was able to fix up some of the kinks for us and take over as needed and for being an at times calming influence) we managed to get the times all into the system and though these needed to be converted into seconds first we managed to get results in and reports spitting out at us on the printer (Sunday) by the time all the bikes were back in the pitts back. A few wee glitches in the system never quite had us getting everyone's results up for display but we knew who they were and were able to provide the handwritten timing for them direct....not sure why the PC didn't like your results Danny but sounds like these minor problems are all fixable so well done to Gary for getting that system sorted out! I can't say I would have enjoyed it so much if it was just all handwritten and worked out manually and all that.....there'd be a few more grey hairs on me I'd say!

Anyway - it was a great weekend and no doubt the Monster crew will be back next year....think I'll have to take MY bike out myself next time...

And on behalf of me and Sully if anyone has a fuel injected SV650 to give away - Sully is the man to give it to. But a respectable result on a bke that was thrown together on the Friday night including critical pieces of his 'over protective' wifes machine..."be sure to bring that back to me in one piece darling"....with that hanging over his head I think he did quite well and he certainly seemed to be enjoying himself!

Oh and BABE - THANKS FOR THE NEW SUSPENSION DARLINK

For those of you that I tracked (you all know who you are) I'll flick you your run times via PM.
