next time can you crash closer to a marshalling point so we don't have to run from turn 1, or even better don't crash at all. hope you heal up fast.

Well for our first time competing at a race meet we had to most awesome experience. We learned a massive amount about how it all works, and what to do. The help and advice given by many far more experienced and seasoned racers was invaluable, and added to a great overall experience. Bring on next year. This is one event that should be supported.
Shame the Endurance race was wet, but there were still some very gutsy riders who went out there and made that event happen despite the rain.

I emailed Sky to try and find out when it's scheduled. Their response was

Bloody shame I'd love to sit down and re-live it all again.

No way dude!!
I have already spent alot of money on the camera crews. It was only organised at the 11th hour, so SKY TV won't even know at this stage whether or not it was filmed. But believe me, it will be televised!!

Congratulations to both Andy and Chris and all of the others who helped run such an Amazing event. You guys seem to just get better and better and putting on and running such a memorable and well relaxed event that is totally enjoyed not only by the racers themselves but also by the spectators who attend. The weather was fantastic the food on Saturday night was enjoyable and the tropheys were outstanding. Look forward to the 2009 Road Race Spectacular and good luck to all of the sidecar association in your up and coming events for next year. Well done Guys You Rock.
