Good job on the pics, wish my video camera had worked, would have got a cool shot of a guy on a Triumph (or Norton maybe), losing the front on turn 4 about 6 feet in front of me, shit it was quick, he was on his arse in the bink of an eye, luckily I managed to avoid him.

...how did the rest of the day go Muzz..

The day got off to a slow start as a F1 bike split it's oil cooler going into turn one of the first lap in practice and dropped oil through to turn 4, that caused several other bikes to go down and held things up while they cleaned it up, quite a few races had restarts due to red flags and by the end they ran out of time and dropped the laps to 4 for some races and cancelled the last Post Classic and BEARS races so they could run the King of the Port within the time frame.

I wasn't bothered by missing the last Post Classic race, the other 5 races and 2 practices was enough for me for the day. Weather was good. I must have improved a bit during the day as in the first F3 race Jock Woodley lapped me right on the finish line. But that didn't happen in the next two F3 races. So I'm assuming I got faster, as I can't imagine him gettting slower. Never got lapped in Posties either so that a good thing.
F3 and Post Classics races were one after the other so the GSX got really hot, but never missed a beat.

Had a good feed at the prizegiving and few sociables to end off a great day. Will definately be going again next year if I can get all my ducks in a row again.

I really like street racing, the whole day is one big buzz, roll on Methven .

Cheers
