    You need a good slapping for that, I'll get Septimus to sort it out when we're up next

Got a good start and gently braked early for turn one, allowing Nick Cole, demon starter and super aggressive turn one racer, through on me. Slotted in behind him for a lap, just feeling the track and the bike, not wanting to repeat last years opening race. On lap two I out drove Nick easily then just settled down to a comfortable rhythm. Four lap races don't last very long and on gaining the white flag I had a quick glance behind me to see what was going on. I had a really comfortable gap on Carey so I just cruised around for a final lap with a couple of wheelies for good measure.
    Awesome, great result, I'm sure cowpoos could kick your arse though

    Onto the front straight and halfway down, the bike just died. I quickly slammed my hand on the deadman switch and it burst back into life in the braking zone,

    the bike shutting itself down again mid corner.
    Fuck you're hard on gear

    Top effort Jimmy and good to see the race 1 result, hoping to get up for the sidecar have a go day and see you racing again later in the year

    It's always cool to watch you race Jimmay and I keep forgetting that this level of racing is still a new thing for you. Hell of a steep curve. Keep it up man and enjoy the sweet family life. Hope the birth goes well.

    Thanks Boomer, but I reckon they fucked up that lap record stuff. Carey went faster than that in October when we were there last.

    Always great to watch you racing, and great write up too. Thought about the tip you gave me about flag starts at the last VMCC meeeting, and how it couldn't apply with the lights. Didn't stop Luke though - he's a real demon at starts!! I'm keen on staying in Clubmans just so I can watch both the Supersport and Superbike races - you guys are really that good to watch!!
