    Good racing fella. Now is see why I couldn't scab a tyre off you - aren't you professionals supposed to have a trailer full?
    I hope Chris is not replacing Domini in all duties
    Good luck for the final round.

    eh hehehe...he is kinda cute

    Na...its just because Dom unfortunately is working on a project at work and they are flat out. She can't get any time off work to come to the final races...so Chris has stepped up to the plate. I must say he is fantastic to have in my corner and being a fast racer himself (faster than me) he has been able to decipher some of my "the bikes doing this and this" banter very well and pass this on to Robert Taylor from CKT who has made massive improvements for me.

    Thanks Marcus. It certainly proves that a setup that was dire ( and pulling no punches suffered from the disinterest or incompetence of another party) makes a rider look pretty average, just as in other motorsport codes. The fact that you were dicing for second place in that first race proves that you indeed have ability and there would have been very few that werent delighted at your performance.
    Also Chris's contribution shouldnt be understimated, he was articulate and methodical and alerted me to some issues that needed attention in my overbusy stupour. And a really nice guy to boot, if you can take him along to future meetings it will only help you.

    Not a bad effort at all mate. I think I might be going off you though. How dare you keep getting faster while I watch from the sidelines.
