That about covers that, my flickr site has a few more from this and plenty from levels nationals.

[oyster]

The last race was a crack up. The 10 fastest kids on Streetstock pitted againt the 10 fastest from the senior classes (Most of these national level riders!) Of course, to be fair, the kids gave the geriatrics a good practice session, a head start, then proceeded to thrash all but Denis Charlett (he came in 3rd)

Yay..... Go Bren! :clap:

[ardomus]

any of clubman????

[oyster]

Good picture frootlops
50 is Jon Lowther and Bren on 67. The winners were 43 and 12 just behind, this is very early in the race as 117 (andy Evans) is still upright. In the far distance is Nick Cain on the CBRR150 four stroke starting last and hoping to win from there but didn't make it on turn 1. He looked OK when he binned it so the race went on for quite a few laps, (allowing Andy to chuck it away too) only then the red came out. In that photo Denis Charlett was well ahead
and actually waited a bit to allow someone to catch up for a dice.

[Bren]

Nice pics.....

[quallman1234]

Nick cain, I like this guy's thinking! Attempting to beat RG's on a CBR150 from the back, Go that man!

And Doing very well in the last round of the nats 125 Class and Coming 2nd In the SS150 Class.
