Snetterton, COME ON!
I can't believe Snetterton is so far away! I've got the week off leading up to it as well so should be nice and relaxed.
It's a very simple circuit and quite fast and I really love it. Not as flowing as Donny but Riches and Coram make up for it
Watch our for action at Russells! And into the Esses!
I'm feeling confident because I like the circuit and seem to go well there, it was my best result in the first season (2005) and it was the only circuit I raced at last year, on Louigi's 748.
Andy Shep, last years Class B champ, holds the lap record with a 1:26.43 so who is gonna have it?! Earkle? One of you locals perhaps, Nogaromil? Imola Duke? Mad Ollie?
Can we go race yet?!

Go on then, spill your times. What you got Dave?
I've ridden it on a 620 and a 748:
620 - 1:24.4
748 - 1:20.8

Triumph T595 1.21
Aprilia RSVR 1.18.07
DD....now that would be giving the game away.........but I was pleased....and the times were subject to the vagaries of me pushing the timer button on my bars on the DD bike......
But I know I'll enjoy the race, and when you are in that frame of mind you usually do better anyway.......

I reckon I would, loads more torque and lighter than a 748.
Come on Dave, don't be shy!

I'll wait till I have some accurate times from a transponder Tony....we can use them on the test day cant we? It seems so far away, I am GAGGING to get back on track ! And Sarah is making her comeback there hopefully....

Don't think you can use a transponder and get the times on a test day but you're allowed to use a lap timer.
I'll be doing the test day as well, as long as I can raise the money. I'm struggling already and I need new tyres if I want to win again. Fingers crossed some cash appears from somewhere because I love Cadwell and Snetterton and there's no reason I can't win the next 4.

I hope we can use a transponder, but if we cant, we cant. I hope you, Matt and Harriet occupy the top 3 slots at ALL the remaining races...cant have the Championship going too far north now can we !

Is that with decent chain, sprockets and lube Michel, or with kg's of shrapnel getting caught up and slowing you down? Lol.....

the extra weight is to be considered as a handicap,in order not to embarass anyone.
