Sams had a few setbacks lately that mustn't be doing his confidence any good at all. Hope his hand heals up quick so he can get back on track.

As for the racing its about time someone else won a race in any class. Very strange season with one guy dominating every class.

Go Eric, Glenn and Craig!!!!!!!! Threeof the nicest buggers on a race track.

Eric (feral1) was on pole for F3. unfortunately he binned it on lap1. i text him before, he said the front end tucked on him. He reckons it was a 200kph+ crash. the bike end for ended a few times. hes ok but the bikes a bit of a mess. they are working on it now to get it back togeather for tomorrows 2 races. lucky for eric but unlucky for one of his team mates (clint james) he has some spares. clint came off in practice yesterday and was knocked out. a 21 day stand down for him, poor bugger!!.
those Team Feral / Colin Clyne Kawasaki boys aint having too much fun this weekend.

Yeah sam lost the front of his r1 yesterday. Apparantly he found a false neutral on entry and was going a bit too fast. Out for a bit by the looks.

Yeah my day started good, provisional pole in qp1. Then bumped down to 3rd after qp2. Race was pretty good even though i didn't get that great a placing, finished up 6th. Had quite bad suspension issues (ie bottoming out at every corner, dr robert to the rescue though) should be better tomorrow.

Better run Roberts suggestions past Ivan to make sure they will be ok.....

**gav** · 27th January 2008, 09:26

Isn't Ivan in Sepang or Jerez with the GP boys as technical advisor?

Sounds like Ivan must be a talented young guy when it comes to suspension to be getting the recognition you guys are giving him. Jealousy is never a good look.

Probably not worth going to see the racing at Manfeild as all the championship titles seem to be almost a forgone conclusion now... A couple of these guys might not even have to show up at Puke and still win.

How have I ended up in here may I ask????

I come back and havent said a thing on here for 8 days and people still dising me lol

**Toast** · 28th January 2008, 12:49

Bloody hell. Can no one stop the Bug man?

Such close racing but he just seems to have a bit more.
