OK,
The weather held for us, and a great time was had by all, it was great to put names to faces!
Look forward to doing it again!

OK,
..... it was great to put names to faces!
Ok, so how about putting some names to the pics too, so the rest of us have some idea of who we are looking at. :roll:

Give us a break not had morning cofee yet! :wink:
OK, in the first picture is Daimo on the left (Curvy black no lowers) and Skip on the right (Red Naked curvy), Chog was on the rather nice Bandit 12 (Green), lodman27 is the guy with the black pointy with lowers, and Moo was there two with the long hair (riding his Silver SV thou), I was present with my red pointy but I was the one taking the pictures.
As for the blonde, no idea, she was not with us, and I did not realise she was in shot.

Good pics Rich! :D
It was a really nice day - weather held off just enough for it to be comfortable in leathers and it wasnt too busy either! 8)
Best time for me was a 12.451 @ 105mph - lodman also got a 12.4 but his pointy was pulling 108mph terminals... (I am not saying anything about pointys being faster! :lol: )
Pah, im claiming you both cheat still.. I dunno, your less tooth sprockets and fanky exhausts..... :lol:
My best was a 12.7 @ 105mph. A little dissapointed as i was aiming for as 12.3. But, after my first run of 13.5 its not toooo bad an improvement. Just didn't have the bottle to really nail it off the line. I need that bike every day....
I had a superb run on the way up there with a few friends in their cars. Had a tinkle with a 400bhp odd skyline, and i can officially say my bike is slower that a 2.0 turbo corsa :lol: About 120 im really pulled back in with ease..... :wink: That isn't MPH obviously, otherwise that would be breaking the law :wink:
Nice to meet everyone, thans for turning up. Im a little dissapointed with the overall turnout after all those names, but hey, as we said, they all lost out...
Top day out, cheers for coming. :D
(Im just awaiting the missis to send me the photos/vidoes). Skip/Lodman, the clip of you two coming past at full chat sounds lovley...... 8)

Day should be set, you just need to change the times of day. Look at the first line ;)
I still dont know why they chose your bike! :wink: Good picture tho!
Nice pictures of us all on the Blacketts site too! Cool! 8) Looking at those pictures made me realise its the first time I have been to Santa Pod and not bothered watching the cars! Still most were all FWD scrabbly nonsense anyway! :wink:

Must admit the best i managed was only a 12.5 not 12.4!! Although i did get two 108 top speed results, not bad for my first ever go, not even been there in a car before!!

:D Richard great pics mate an you won me a fiver, :D
As i said before it was nice to meet everyone and i will be up for it again in the future if anyone else fancies it. :)
My best time was a little disapointing 12.019 at 117.5mph, but as previously stated that was with the front wheel in the air in 1st and 2nd. :shock:
I think if i can nail my starts and manage to keep the front down then i will knock half a second of this. :)
I was well impressed with the times the Svs were getting and it would be interesting to see how much quicker the 1000's are.
great day, great people and hope to do it again soon, but hopefully with more turning up.
