Loved this event last year!

Entered again this year of course:niceone: CANT WAIT!

[scorry]

i hav been told i should enter after my effort in the weekend.

do they have a motard class?
i cant see it in the regs

[TonyB]

Motards run with the road bikes. Mostly in F2 and Super Stock Ltd....bloody KTM 620s (and bigger) give me all sorts of grief because they leap out of the corners so much quicker than my Monster. I'm hoping to have a lighter flywheel fitted in time to counteract this ;)

hey,

[scorry]

No idea but I've already done just that and I think TonyB has as well

[TonyB]

No idea but I've already done just that and I think TonyB has as wellIndeed I have. I also have no idea if they are back to back. I think there's usually a gap of some sort, but then again I have done back to back races- the two days are usually a bit of a blur! Don't forget you also get to enter other races over the weekend- extra classes like:
* Bracket racing (A,B,C based on your lap times)
* Conti Cup (open to anything with treaded tyres)
* Best of British/American/Italian
* Exhibition class (last year it was Motards)

So you get loads of racing and it is quite likely that you will end up doing two races back to back at some stage.

[talicachick]

I saw the signs on marshlands road today.... will go have a look. sounds like a good day out.

[scorry]

Hey does anyone know how to hire out one of the pit sheds?

actually if someone wanted to share one that would be even better, my ktm doesnt take up much room but i do need some power.

thanks

spectate? I thought you had an eligible bike you poofter :bleh:

[Mikkel]

I do, but I am too much of a chicken to take my non-competitive, non-insured and very much beloved commuting Husky motard onto the track. (besides the electrics would most definitely fail while I sat in the starting grid anyway :yes:)
