Dave got knocked off - by the time they'd recovered the bike they were back to 20th...
10 minutes to go, looks like calling it a DNF. Ah well, good days, bad days... :)

To avoid new posts popping up for those who aren't interested, I'll use this post as a sort of blog, I'll just keep updating it as & when.

Just found this nice pic - Roo (my youngest) during an 8-hour endurance race at Teeside Autodrome. First in class IIRC :)
They might not be able to host any more 24-hours as they've had noise complaints form people who knowingly bought
houses near a decades-established race track. We're currently having a similar problem with a new estate on the edge
of Ponty Park.

Will that potentially impact the modelling operations??

'Tis an ongoing problem everywhere made worse by inflated self expectations. Don't get me started :x
Back when I was doing ATC in the tower at Camden, every weekend the sh1t-cunning real-estate agents trying to sell executive country lifestyle acerages would phone in to find out the runway likely to be used all day, then apparently tailor their sales pitch up to and including advice that the aerodrome would be closing soon, the "noisy" runway was only used for emergencies, the new estate had an agreement with the aerodrome, etc., etc. Don't underestimate the lengths unscrupulous agents will go to to get a fat commission!! :evil: :evil:
Cheers,
