Hope the weather comes right for the meeting and the entrants. Certainly crap here in Wgton at the moment.
Look forward to seeing some coverage somewhere.

No electronic timing but if you pop into www.marktime he should have something up at some stage

Great day today! Great racing and nobody hurt. Had a shower in the morning, then fined up to be hot and sunny the rest of the day.

What a great weekends racing. Shame about the parade ending, some people will never listen. Spyda as commentator was great. His commentary adds a lot of humour as well as the knowledge he has of the various riders and the bikes certainly keeps the spectators up with whats going on.

Much better weather than last year, wish I could have got down there. What happened in the parade then?

I see some guy called John out there but it didn't have what type of bike he was on, he was obviously to embarressed to list it

Re Marktime, how does it work because whats showing on some of those sheets is different than what it showed in some of the races at the time

I think that's probably just a list of the fastest lap times for the riders listed. Nice to see the see that the Matchy is faster than Gordy's 800/1060/1288cc BMW

Yeah that John character is a bit elusive

I was riding the Nodetails, its an obscure German bike.....
Yeah the plucky Matchless vs the 800cc Beamer...

No the live timing said the Oz crew Pym? had done a 1.11 in the same race Lovell started from the pits, so I couldn't understand why Lovell caught them so fast, Gordy and Steve sometimes didn't show until they'd done a lap or two, pretty hard on gear those two, how many rebuilds did it get?

Only one.....It had a partial siezure on the left piston so they took the complete top end off and put a standard 980 barrel on with standard in-port head so it ended up looking like last year...all lop-sided

I said it looked like a sidevalve
