Team Lucking Fast rides again at Oulton 13th Sept

[LoonR1]

After a mixed two races for me, loved Anglesey, but crashed and burned at Donington, it's time to brush off the cobwebs and reinstate Lucking Fast.

It's a change of riders though.

Team Lucking Fast would like to thank LincsBlokey for his efforts this season with us. However, the team has decided to move in a different direction and LB has left the team with immediate effect. We'd like to place on record our thanks to LB for his time with the team, but as he was dog st slow and holding the team back, as well as being obsessed with Hondas despite our Yamaha / BMW factory support, then we feel the time has come to part ways. There's also the small matter of promised sponsorship not appearing amd some other stuff that makes us feel justified in sending out this completely unprofessional and fabricated press release.

On a serious note we do have a new rider in Fleegle and I'm sure he'll be along soon to big himself up and tell us how he's expecting to build slowly then set new lap records each lap for the full 3 hour endurance race.

So anyone based in the North West there's no excuse, get yourself down to watch and support us. Unless you're LincsBlokey, in which case don't, you need to stay at Cadwell

I doubt it. Camier replaces injured riders, although you ride like one, you're not injured, just slow.

I'm slow as fk and the first to admit it. I'm racing with Cunny next year most likely, purely because that's been the plan and in all honesty I'll hold McKeann back.

I wanted to see you guys at Anglesey but got called in to work sadly.
Oulton is only two miles away from me. Do you know what the race schedule is and what time your start is?

Not yet, it's likely to be about 1ish, but will confirm when the programme is announced.

You may just have a point Neil. I had great fun whilst racing with only one weekend in over 3 seasons were it really clicked. Getting a 3rd in a field I had watched go off in the distance previously, was like winning the world championship to me.
Unfortunately the cost (even in a budget series) coupled with the politics and backbiting took their toll. On the way home one Sunday evening I realised the fun had gone. As quick as that!

Having said that Neil, while you enjoy your time on a track day, nothing will ever beat the buzz of lining up on the grid and going into that first corner

Have to agree so far in my fledgling attempt at racing. The first corner is something else, I've never been in such a chaotic place, let alone on a bike. Strangely it was total fun and I was grinning like mad, despite being bumped and barged all over the place.

It is bloody expensive though and I'm not sure I'll do more than one year at most.

Cunny DK said:

Ill be there.

I'd hope so too, you'll need to watch the rider you'll be replacing next year. Pit lane politics are always good.

Cunny DK said:

I saw you at Oulton the other week

I'll line them up, you knock 'em down.

Off topic, but just spoke to Harry and we'll be blagging some more hospitality off him for the weekend. We'll need to cheer Josh on though in the SS1000

Fleegle said:

Is that open to all, or will I have to sit in the van?

This weekend? It's BSB at Oulton so blagging their hospitality. If you're coming up you're welcome to blag it too.

I'll definitely be there too, will be on hand with gaffer tape and cable ties

Hopefully we won't need them this time, I'm praying for a dry race.

Cunny DK said:

Just like always then. Im guessing young Mr Cox isnt at Oulton this weekend. Just seen on Facebook he's off on holiday I think.

No TTC at Oulton this time, although he's probably celebrating his perfect hat trick at Thruxton.

I'm there too with PBM hospitality.

Got to be Jenko for the win in stock 1000s!

I can't look beyond Joe Burns given the way he's worked on his bike in the past month. He also put in a few 1:37s on last weeks TD, which is unheard of with the traffic. Normally you can knock another 2 seconds off to get an accurate race pace. He was flying at Thruxton too. Jenkinson has local track knowledge but still a very new bike.

I will bet you a pint on it!

You're on, a pint is a gentleman's bet.

Ok. However you have no right to be on this thread after I unceremoniously dumped you from the team

Hey, my HT account still says 'Team Manager' So being pedantic, you need to be paying me 80k for the remainder of the season and i get permission to thrape your m3 till it bleeds again.

I wouldn't be surprised if Buchan does. Notice how the traction on his bike sounds like no other stock ZX10 out there though...

be quiet suggesting that whatever you do, because of course no one is cheating in stock 1000...at all

It's a right mess as a series, but there's still some great racing at the sharp end.

[LoonR1]

Have you met Gene Adam aka Harry Monk on your TDs? He runs Josh Eliiott and will probably be selling his at the end of the season.

Hope to see a good turnout guys and please come and help / say hello / make us a brew / anything really

[LoonR1]

That'd be nice for a change. I'm close to swapping the bikes for jetskis, as there's more chance of getting some use out of them.
