Waking up at 7.00am to rain on the roof and I was thinking about not bothering but as the track is 30km away and often has different weather I dragged myself out of bed and headed off, got to the track and while there were a few showers it wasn’t looking to bad so I got sign in out of the way and unloaded the bikes and then headed off to Hotel Bren (back of his van)
Dangerous was still fucking about and hadn’t signed in as he was a bit worried about getting his wet, but he seemed to succumb to peer pressure and was seen heading off to sign in with helmet and licence in hand, next minute we spot him driving out with his bikes and trailer without saying a word, :bye: Spudracer immediately sends him a one word txt “PUSSY”
Bucket Practice
A shower comes through while we head out onto the track but the bikes feeling good and I’m in a positive frame of mind and it all seems good
Pre82 Practice
Still a few damp patches but I’ve ridden in the rain a few times and don’t mind it and it’s looking like it’ll be dry before to long, the patter in the front is as bad as ever but the more I think about it the more I think it’s a track surface thing on particular corners
Buckets Race 1
I’m on the second row and get a reasonable start and are 5th into the hairpin and I immediately go around the outside of madkeenandy to slot into 4th, two more laps and I’m right behind Spudracer and TonyMac through the s bends, I’m on the gas early onto the straight and Spudracer pulls out to pass TonyMac and while they’re side by side I get in the draught and get the tow I need to pass them both before the kink, they don’t come back past at the hairpin and I lead them to the flag for a :second: behind Peter
Pre82 Race 1
Diesel Pig was good enough to fall off in the previous moderns race in a oil slick of his own creation so I’m thinking I can be up the front somewhere, my starts not great but it’s ok and there’s 3 bikes in front, first I chase the XJ650 all over the back of him through the s bends and then up the inside on the left hander onto the straight, next lap I’m onto the Triumph and getting good drive onto the start/finish straight pass him into the fast kink and set off after the Norton, the white flags out and as we brake into the hairpin he’s out a bit wide and I go up the inside and beat him out of the corner and run home in :first:
Buckets Race 2
Another second row start and I get blocked in through the kink, I make 4 passes on the first lap and that only gets me into 6th, once I’m clear of most of the traffic I put my head down and arse up and go out after TonyMac and Tygertung, they’re having a great battle and it takes me a couple of laps t catch them, we come onto the start/finish straight and Tygertung pulls out to pass TonyMac and while he’s busy looking across at him I slipstream them and pass them both into the kink and set out after the next group but run out of laps and finish 4th
Pre82 Race 2
Diesel Pig has got over his little “oil slick” incident and when the flag drops he’s off like a rat up a drainpipe, Russell on the GS1000S gets in my way through the kink and then out accelerates me to the hairpin where I ride around the outside of him and set off after the XJ650, I catch him the next lap and make the pass onto the start/finish straight and then tag onto the back off the Triumph and pass him out of the hairpin, he’s showing me a wheel through the s bends and then passes me on the infield sweeper, I get good drive onto the straight and nail him before the kink and come home :second: behind Diesel Pig
Buckets Race 3
This time I’m out early and get on the front row, TonyMac leads us off the line and I’m straight into 2nd until Spudracer goes around me at the hairpin, the three of us pull a gap on the rest of the field and a lap later I pull the same move on them I did in race one, Spudracer pulls out to pass TonyMac down the start/finish straight and I slipstream them both and pass both of them before the kink and then bugger off and leave them to it, :first:
Pre82 Race 3
I get a good launch, 3rd to the kink with Russell and 238kg of GS1000S trying to take me on the inside, I’m not having any of that and keep it pinned and he backs out, a lap later and I take the other GS/X 750/1000? In the hairpin when he runs wide on the exit, with Diesel Pig having already pulled a good gap I maintain the gap to the bikes behind me and run in :second: Tygertung is also racing his Bucket in pre82 and runs out of gas and has to push his bike back:yes:
Buckets Race 4
Off the front again and straight into 2nd behind Peter, lap 2 and I draught him down the straight and pass him into the kink, he comeback straight out braking me into the hairpin, another lap and I’m still behind him when a red wheel appears up the inside into the kink I ignore it and it goes away as I tip in, next minute it fly’s past into the hairpin and it’s Diesel Pig on his TZR/GP/RG hybrid, I stick with him and are trying to get a place back when the chequered flag comes out :third:
Pre82 Race 4
Front row start again and I don’t fuck about, straight into second with only a XS650 flat tracker thingy in front of me, it hauls out of the corners but he’s slow through them and I make a pass up the inside into he hairpin on the second lap when he runs out wide, without him holding me up in the corners I pull away, and then I hear the noise of a Honda 550/4 right behind me and I know Diesel Pig is stalking me, he follows me for a couple of laps and as I see the white flag come out he pulls out and blows past me and I run in :second: behind him
A awesome day despite the early weather with plenty of racing and quite smoothly run by the C.A.M’s club, some interesting incidents with Diesel Pig falling off in his own oil and Stanko doing something errrrrrrrrr interesting on the dummy grid:gob:
Now where’s Dangerous got to “here pussy pussy pussy”
