    Looking forward to trip to the racing on Sunday. Anyone going? If you see my black 63 plate with subtle 58 tribute, say hi.

    Have a great day weather looking good, not going as you can't see much plus no mates.

    It was a great day of racing. I only wish I'd taken a pair of shorts with me, by the second super bike race I think my were legs cooked to medium rare!
    The only complaint is £8.50 for a shit hot-dog and a tea.

    Actually I think it was £8.00. Doesn't make me feel any better though. I know its only £8.00 but I'm from Yorkshire!

    What a great days racing! I went on my own (billy no mates) and arrived around 08:30, took a packed lunch + lots of snacks and drink, shorts, t shirt & trainers, unfortunately I didn't think about packing sun cream so now have a face like a beetroot. Sat on the banking between Allard and the complex opposite the large tv screen.

    When they interviewed the Superstock top 3 on the podium at the end of the race the BSB radio guy said to Jason O'Halloran (the guy on the blade who finished 3rd)
    "That's the first time I have ever seen a Fireblade travelling at an angle of 45 degrees at over 120 mph"

    It was awesome to see it in slow motion on the big screen.
