Will be there tomorrow, although the likelyhood of a new PB (my target for this year - a new PB per event) is unlikely with the weather forecast . . . but you never know . . . even if it's dry it's too cold to get good front tyre grip . . .
Next event is the East Fortune sprint . . . next weekend . . . probably the fastest event on the calendar . . . brit championship round and it's expected the big single seaters will probably top 190+mph . . . we may get the tango to the limiter in top on that basis . . . unfortunately they are not recommending spectators for some reason . . . new event too so if you win your class you set the class record

Good luck for tomorrow and EF.
The configuration of EF doesn't make it spectator friendly as the paddock is infield of the track.

Good luck tomorrow. I'm hoping I have an entry for East Fortune too... sent of early March, got my receipt confirmation envelope back... but the cheque's not been cashed which makes me worry

Good spectating would be possible on the outside at the end of Linton Straight (the 190 mph bit)... that is if it were permitted, which it isn't I guess.

They haven't cashed my cheque for Doune yet, and that was last weekend!
Wouldn't worry too much on the front.

Sounds like you got a bargain, Mac!
I'll keep an eye on the
LCC site for the finals then.

Nope
