bump

shakey looked very quick but everyone was suffering with the lack of grip coming out of the club chicane onto the start/finish "straight"

guy martin's new blade looks nice too

I'm going...

If the weather is too bad will everything be cancelled? First time and am getting up megga early to go...

I will be able to just get the one ticket on the gate though - is that right?

website says plenty of tickets available on gate. Bearing in mind the forecast, maybe We'll get cut price . Just checked different site and said no rain all day - so fingers crossed.

If its your first time at BSB or any superbikes. Be prepared to have your breath taken away as they pass you for the first time at full race speedyikes

I've seen first timers shake with fright at Oulton. Reallyyes
Cheers thanks.... I consider myself warned.

Just don't want it to be cancelled if its too wet as am travelling down from Oulton way smile

Fallen Angel,

Let us know what you think after the racethumbup
Will do.

I am going on my own so I reckon if I just chat to people they will let me know the best viewing place although I have been told its at the final chicane?

When is the Thruxton round? Shall have to arrange to visit my parents again and perhaps make that one. Apparently the Wirral 100 is on tomorrow (282 bikes entered) but I am up in Huddersfield for lunch and dont think I will be able to do both frown

We were going to camp for the weekend but the advance party rang me at 3pm yesterday to say that they couldn't get the tents to stay up! So it'll be two day trips. I'll be there for quali this afternoon and for the real thing on Sunday. I notice the weather forecast re rain has steadily improved through the week.

If you see mt Griffith and Dad's Chimaera on the way down give us a wave . . . We'll be at the complex.

Please be dry at least, cos it's gonna be cold whatever !

Eurosport have reneged on their claim to be showing all the races via a live t'internet stream it would seem. Bastids.

I'm at work so will have to find a dodgy stream elsewhere if i'm going to get to see...
