View Full Version : Castle Coombe - Moto Star Motorcycle Raceday
Just booked tickets to take the family to this for the weekend. Looks like a good meeting. Tommy Bridewell should be there having a shot in the GSX-R Trophy race, so will be giving out some support there.
Anyway, thought I'd post up the link and see if anyone's intrested.

Some good racing on both days, the weather was even quite reasonable on Sunday. The guys on the classic bikes are amazing, really close racing at times, even though their bikes are worth a fortune! Tommy Bridewell was there, he came through from sixth to win the Superbike race (albeit with a bit of help from a backmarker). It was pretty emotional for him, and he dedicated the win to Ollie.
It was a good weekend.
Yep, bit busy on track sometimes :D

We were at Quarry bends too (it was the windiest part of the track), front seats on the grand stand!!! Was luckily enough to speak to Ron Haslam in pits, but he was rushing off to get to the commentary box so wasn't able to get a photo - boo!! Saw the Bridewell family in pits too, got a piccie of Tommy on the podium...
Had a fab day out, had a nice picnic lunch, saw some excellent racing...
