Scottish Championship at Knockhill

[SVTONYB]

I was up at Knockhill on Sunday watching my mates nephew(Alex Gault) competing in the 600's. He won both races averaging 52.5 sec laps, beating the current champion and local hero Bob Grant by 6 secs and 10 secs. The lad is only 16yrs old and is definately one to watch for the future. :thumbsup:

And not to mention the weather was fantastic managed to get sunburnt :cool:

Never mind the talent, never mind the bike, never mind the leathers.

If I just had that helmet I'd be grinning from ear to ear all the time. Cheer up that boy!

And well done :smt045

Nice one Tony.

Once again your bike was spotted in the paddock. Indy, Quedos, CarelessChucca, Mrs CC & Prawn were all out and about. You just hide well - but we'll get you the next time.:smt045

Bob Grant is a legend in his own lunchtime, sun shines out of his @rse at Knockhill, and its the only track he can ride. doesn't even go to east fortune because he's cr@p anywhere else... He's just an Angry Wee man...

As for Kev it was his first ride on a 600cc...

Alex is good but Tony He's not a god yet... ;)

[Bluewolf]

doesn't even go to east fortune because he's cr@p anywhere else...

Oh dear, that doesn't bode well for Mr Wolf then, Grant has lapped him in almost every race at East Fortune... :lol:
