Even the bright yellow "noob" vest doesn't make you less of a target it seems! The poor guy was sitting just in front of me when he got a little distracted by maniacs hurtling past at some point, forgot to corner at the end of the straight and ended up going straight instead of cornering, luckily there were some bails to ride into and he managed to stay on and rejoin the race, big ups to him for that! Talk about throwing him in at the deep end, still, he seemed to enjoy his day at least.

I am sure we have all been there at some point. I know I have. Just made me want to go faster. It still happens, you think you are going fast and someone sticks a move like you are standing still. Sketchy loves scaring the shit out of me. I would rather A and B were separate. For safety reasons and I like watching the racing. I had a chat with the young man and he is as keen as. He is amped for more and wants to spread the word to his mates.

Like some of the others have said, A and B grade will be split for points races (providing at least 5 or 6 from each grade turn up) so hopefully it won't be too much of an issue soon.
I know everyone just wants to get their jollies, which is cool, so do I, as long as it doesn't involve knocking someone else off in the haste to get around (especially those of us who are still trying to learn and are nervous about being wiped out). Like you were saying to me Rich, you often give your bike an extra rev so I know you're there and then you pick your time to pass, and you and Tex are probably the only ones who have never put the shits up me when passing.
Anyway, like I say, hopefully it'll be a non-issue soon.

Couple of vids from the weekend.
The first is Hamish explaining what went wrong. The sound is'nt great but you get the idea and a quick look at the bank he got friendly with.

The other should be good for out of towners to check out the track and me letting the 4strokes thru.

That just shows how bad my lines are. Man I need to work on that. The difference between yours and fishes and mine are rather embracing.

Palmy boys:

So thats nearly enough for a B grade in its own right...
Roll on winter I say.

I'm secret about tha fact I'm looking for a LONCIN then I might be able to mix it up with the big boys!
Sounds like my name has been tanted in regards to clean passes on B riders. Sorry about that. Will do better next time.

Father like son indeed!! Not sure how many other people got to see it, but Mr Adlam snr treated us to a beaut 3 gear wheel stand off the starting line on Sunday!! We were flagging in station number one and got a great view.

That man was on fire on Sunday. Wonder what he has for breakfast?!? I might get a box...
