Default 3 sisters race last w/end before they abandoned it

Bit damp to say the least! Look for rainbow/oil slick on corner in 2nd pic!

I would've put the kettle on and watched from pit lane. Fook that!

Me too but don't have a van or anything! Just a ford focus and homemade bike trailer was a bit grim especially after standing in rain for nearly 2 hours for my last race only for the meeting to be abandoned just before it!!

I love 3 sisters, not been there in a couple of years. Will happily put in sub minute laps but once the rain comes down, its pretty slippy there.

Started racing last year. Just there, one at Aintree and one at tonfanau. Target last year was to get sub minute lap times. Did it in last few races at last meeting in Oct so was well chuffed. This years target is to get rid of novice bib. Well on my way now, got 3 different tracks(albeit cheap and cheerful ones) under my belt so can get rest of signatures from 3 sisters now. 3 to go

That's the tonf I did at end of April. Set off at 3am, my genny packed up just after practice! Ideal in them temperatures, hand painted 1980's Nissan micra course car made me smile and put me at ease about turning up with a crappy race set up

Here's my improvised method of trying to keep tyres warmish at tonfanau after genny gave up

And this is what happened to one of Preston/3 sisters lads at Aintree last year
