The bits i saw were good. shame i went to my bosses house. he spotted a bolt missing out of the top of my front, right caliper!

turned out it had snapped. i was stuck in fielding (after breaking 2 "easy-outs" antil my Bro-in-law came up in his van yesterday afternoon. so i missed racing, couldnt find the pub everyone was at after, then missed the sprints... what a crap weekend (oh, and now I have a hangover)

Yeah, I thought you'd given up on the racing pretty early in the piece aswell! Stink about the brakes though! Hope it's all sorted now.

I'm just glad nothing moved on the way up there or my bike and me could've been a squishy mess... tried to get my boss to come to the races after we found I wasnt going anywhere saturday, but by the time he'd finished doing all the stuff he had to do, it was over

so we went looking for the prize-giving... couldnt find it so went back to his house and drank bourbon.

was good riding with you all! hope to do it all again soon... and next time I'll make sure all my bike stays in the one piece :spudwave:

The prizegiving was held at the track, with a BBQ. They normally go to the pub down the side street from the clock tower (the Empire Tavern?) but this time decided to stay at the track.
