Good luck mate, I should be down there

[MadMaxHSV]

Thanks Certainly won't be winning anything but it's a fun event.

[Andy Sargeant]

What time is kick off ?

[stigmundfreud]

good luck! I dont understand why you have a 2.5 second penalty but the lambo has none??

[MadMaxHSV]

Argh that was abismal.
Only got a practice and one timed run.
Practice run was cocked by a mishap with the traction control and was so pissed off with my first effort I gave it too many beans on my timed run and couldn't find any traction. Made lots of noise and smoke at least

Alas I was forgetting how little grip there is normally at the speed trials compared with the likes of shakey's.

Much fun had anyway. Certainly a great turn out and some great machines. 8.35 second Hyabusa particularly interesting.
Will try and get some pics up if I can.

Was it just today that they do it ? Or is anything going on tomorrow ?

[MadMaxHSV]

Just today unfortunately. Tomorrow Brighton will be taken over by motorbikes

Pretty sure that's a handicap time rather than a penalty. Both the Vipers where also at zero handicap unsuprisingly.

Poo. I've been living down here for the last 12 years and haven't seen it once !!

Next year, yep, definately next year.

[MadMaxHSV]

The shame
Well at least it's one less witness

Working on my race license upgrade so I can get two timed runs next year hopefully accompanied by some more respectable times

[Harryoz]

Saw your practice run today, she sounded good. Dropped down the pits to say hi, but you werent around. Next time!

Have to say the bikes were the best part of the day, nutters!

[MadMaxHSV]

Sorry I missed you. The bikes were impressive. It gets very bumpy after the finish line, I don't envy those guys coming past there at 150. Crazy
