A question, why are all the rounds at Santa Pod ? Are there safety issues at Shakey or York or is it just a money thing ?

depends who you listen to,
most pm guys refuse to run at shakey due to what they call dangers and what i call differences,
its like a superbike rider the differences in silverstone to cadwell
and how about the dangers at the IOM TT cource, kerbs, Stone walls, they ride to take account of the dangers but they still ride,
Id probably lift a lot quicker at shakey cause armaco can tear up a car no question, but id drive as the track demands not being a hero and pushing too hard, because that is the cause of most crashes...

Malmo is a tiny short very narrow track, With Armaco... basicaly insufficiant shut down area, ( a chute failier at speed guarentees car dammage as does getting out of the groove Ask Danny Cockerill), But its a well rated much loved track, with guys like Flamholc Lindahl,,Lindberg,,Lundqvist, and many others iv forgotten frequenting the place...but then They are vikings ....We are Pussys
Well you can expect to see us at shakey during the year, We wont turn down the chance to make laps on a decent track through heresay and fallicy


york has no msa events as far as i know and never having been there iv heard that the track is in no way good enough for PM but i know the track surface at shakey with the RIGHT prep is more than up to the job..

I saw (and actually i think have a video somewhere) Wayne Nicholson trying to test at York a couple of years ago. couldn't launch at all and wouldn't hook up on a second squirt.

Really good article about I.C.E. and The 'Bird, enjoyed that a lot.

Thanks to all involved in that.
