      I have done it in F1 and F3 the last two years and was lucky enough to have little competition in F1, so I could focus my energy on F3, where I had to work for the win.

      Jay will have to decide which class to focus his energy on - but I am not letting my F3 title go without a fight. (I'm picking Jay will focus on the big prize myself.)

      Similarly, I might have the same dilemma this year, if someone gives me the hurry along in F1.....anyone ?

      Though being my 'race' bike - F3 is my priority.

      So there. Not much of a smack talk but hey.....the thread needed another bump !!

      Sorry fullas, I never inteneded to bring the F3 bike along. I'm only there for one reason - fastest time overall.

      No problem at all mate, I'll sweep/shovel what's left of it onto the trailer for ya. Might pay to bring a decent hanky though, the cracked subframe and seat pinches some sensitive parts of the anatomy which brings a tear to the eye when you least expect it.

      Slicks were strange up there on my thou, but it was so poorly set up for it I doubt it was the tyres. My K2 did alright without tread, and the 999 with tread was shithouse.

      Well I sent my entry off last week, effectively lowering the bar for everyone else. So come on anyone who wants a go - do not hesitate to get your entry in, it is a lot of fun and you don't have to take it too seriously if you don't want to. Just enjoy being able to ride that road and exploring your bike's limits without worrying about anything coming the other way.

      Only about 10 entries in so far. People waiting to enter on the day will only have themselves to blame if the requisite number is reached and they are turned away.

      Sorry Deano, but as much as I'd love to do this event, funds will not allow it...

      Good luck and safe racing to all!

      Went for a scoot up the hill today and apart from some minor loose chip it looks the best i have seen in a long time, espeically the bottom third, no more missing spots of seal.
      Looks like the record could go.
