Am doing some charity work (well fitting the mother in-laws kitchen) 2 miles from mallory that weekend so will work a twilight shift and try and get over in the afternoon to watch proceedings. Had a big off at the hairpin a few years ago so currently banned by the wife from racing!! However I fear this may reignite the "bug". Hope to see you all there and have a chat.

Hi Don, be good to see you, you'll be very welcome!

statistically, it's said that one in five rookies dont make it round the first corner of their first race.

Trouty, I'll have the stabilizers on until at least Edwinas (the second-bend) then I'd probably have forgotten what to do so I'll just keep following everybody.

Hope to see you there Don...

Ha ha I recall that, on the first ever DD race at Cadwell in 2005, three bikes didn't even make it over the start line!!!!!! And not because they'd broken down . . . .

Oooooh Gosh!! Major rebuild in the offing. Just remember that aviation fallout all over the place.

Lily you dont need to worry about that, as i spoke to new era and pointed out if they know how many entrants they have for the season surley that have plenty of grid space, normally 1 space per person, they confirmed yes....

...So i then said in that matter id really dont matter if i book a day before as there will be space for me, which they confirmed YES true, and its not as if someone else will take my place as there are only places for people that have joined, Again she replied Yes..

So i told her i would book Mid to End of week Dependant upon how the bike is coming on!
