    Nice footage. From the comments people were making I expected the track to be a lot smaller! They definitely packed a lot into 1km! I see what people mean about the blind corners... plus as a rider I really wouldn't want to mess with a big square bale- they're not exactly going to move or give much if you hit them

    I was standing at turn one when you did that, it would have to be the most awesome crash of the meeting, vertical handstand as you were going over the top 10/10 for style
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    Pre 89, going very slow in race one, due to RH footpeg hanging off, cracked mounting.
