Along with the Newbold the club has a full programme of its usual classes - 1000, F600, Super Stock 600, Pre-Injection 600, Steel frame 600, F400, Thunderbikes, Mini-Thunderbikes and Sidecars.

Wish I was but it is daughters Prom Saturday night. I hope to be there Sunday but only spectating.

Next planned outing is Wirral 100 end of July - not sure if KR will be out main aim is to the FSRA F2 slidey round.

Am I reading this (page 7) correctly, £160 for a weekends racing (inc. Wirral membership)?

Yep - however I will be interested to see what the race length is going to be.

Apart from their normal classes Wirral have the Electric Bikes (there is power at Anglesey) and the F2 FSRA sidecars.

Interesting the next meeting the Grand is more expensive there again I suppose that is on the international circuit

But even so....£160 for a weekends on track action isn't a lot.

Page 2 of the regs does have plans for races;

July meet - 3 times 6 to 8 lap races
October meet - 4 times 5 to 6 lap races.

So, probably no better value tracktime wise than DP, and possibly worse when you cost in getting there and other weekend costs. It is after all "only" £80 less than one class with DP which is a pretty small slice of what it costs for a total race weekend.

But, still writing a cheque for £160 for a weekend out would feel like very cheap racing indeed, if you're there (it'd be nice to know at least one person in the paddock) I'm more than tempted to do this instead of the poxy one day meet at Oulton.

Yep hoping to do the FSRA that should be a 20 lapper

So I reckon if we can go the distance we might get 17 laps in.

A few KR's made the trip up to Cadwell and went well, I'd write more but I didn't see much of them

Current points here

Table looks like this;

and yes Mark you are at the bottom purely cause I find it amusing

Though it does make the KR the dominant bike on the table.
TBF it is anyway really, the RGV's of Iain and Dave are vj23's, Mark has a vj22.

Well done Fontyy - though I see you have only awarded points for two of the 3 races on Sunday

Wirral meeting will be 2 x 10 lap races and 1 x 8 lap race over the two days. Unless the Electric bikes don't turn up in which case the 8 lapper might become a 10 lapper.

KR is now planned to be out for DP Anglesey though I may try and make the SATT day if the Barrels are back in time.

Where did you go to school? Dave got 53 points on Sunday!

Good to see you again Mark.

What happened to your 3rd race?

You were running well then had to retire.
