    Still says provisional form& there is not the proposed reduction of entry if entering both F5 & F4 classes.

    At least unless there is another link to an updated form?
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Really? Thought I deleted all the old forms from the club site...here's the updated form:

    As for the costs side of things, contact Nigel to find out.

    thats if K Morgan turns up (and has a big HP bike )
    or M Green finds the fountain of youth (the older you get the faster you went)

    maby the younger Diprose will
    not sure on the others but would say old or not in it anymore ?

    there are some fast young guns (and not so young) from wellington I'd put money on as well

    If Adlam or Ban turn up they could be in with a shot too. Remember Adlam currently has the 1 plate and Ban was walking away with it till he crashed. The Hoogies are not to be forgotten either. I think it's wide open this year if they turn up.

    my coment was that the fast riders mentioned were either on slow bikes (sub 20 h/p) or older than they once where (hence slower in an unable to bounce kind of way)

    it's open to anyone (hope Avalon is ok after her crash today)

    I don't think it is open at all, I think they will win it

    I dont know much about the NI bikes or riders, but the SI guys have the advantage of riding on big tracks all the time. The Hoogies finished within a meter or each other trading spots for first and second in the last lap of the BOB. They lapped the rest of the field most of us more than once. The hoogies mite not be the fastest but they have VERY reliable bikes and they are fast........but there will be two of them!


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    I ran out of fingers and toes to count the amount of times they lapped me

    At the start it might be an advantage till everyone gets used to it. Sounds like a good show-down for the 6th either way!

    I have raced almost everyone that will turn up and all I can say is if the bikes are working and its a nice day, it will be a bloody good race to watch. Can't wait.

    Yeah he solved that & found the real problem which was an overly restrictive emulsion tube that of course on a short track didn't rear its head, but on a long track leaned it out for a long time in the high gears.
