Practice Saturday Am.

I set off like a rocket, 2.03mins in the first section as fast as I have gone on ‘Salt’!! I almost flipped it over the jump son the first lap. (Won’t do that again)

I finished up 13^th fastest in the 400/twins. Well we weren’t last in Heat 1, but I was never going to qualify against such a fine field of riders, even the great “Gibbo” had trouble doing that.

I had a good 400 race scrapping with Darren Gilipin and Chris Graily.

Chris Graily

I had Joe and Leonie on the pit board,

They messed up the Lap count and Darren pulled in one lap short after reading my board.

Silly Darren!

Darren Gilpin

The Sunday “B” Final was delayed to let all the crowds into the Mount. I have never seen so many at Oliver’s Mount.

I struggled from the back of the grid, but enjoyed it all the same.

In the 2^nd 400 race I again battled with Darren after Chris Graily

Barged his way through at the Hairpin in lap 1. 13^th place wasn’t too bad as I never went faster all weekend from first thing Saturday morning.

Dave Bell.

Ian Hutchinson kept this up for at least 7.5 seconds. Impressive eh?
