Yeah agree with you here, the inters seems to book up quicker and more in advance then any other group.

As such people who still want to go to the trackday would rather go in the slow group than not go at all.

There were a few friends from another forum who fell into that category.

Tim Hope i wasn't one of those donkeys slowing you down in the bends then getting the better of you on the straights

IIRC think i was hitting 145+ on the straight but mines been down geared from a 16 tooth front sprocket to a 15 tooth, so think the speedo will be a bit out.

If any one fancies cadwell on the 29 aug there more then welcome to join me it's a friday so will be traveling down on thurs day and doing a spot of camping.

Sp33dy, I happen to have a few photos of you in shot when I was taking pics of Tim at the opening corner and on the 2nd to last corner and I can say that you are one of those slowing him down!!

I actually thought I had one of you binning it in the gravel however that turned out to be 2 other completely different guys

OK just uploading a choice selection of the pictures from the day. Unfortunately they arent great as I was trying to take the shots leaning on crutches with some stupid frame on my arm, hence the lack of quality and panning on the pics.

OK thought that Id uploaded to a site which you could link individual photos but unfortunately not

Therefore all those interested, please see http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/54348614
for pictures!

Why are seeing crash pics so much cooler than any other pic?!!?

Rob, cheers for that, brilliant pics, and excellent given the the stick and cage hindrance

How's things going with the leg and wrist?

Things going ok, start physio on the wrist on Tuesday as the pins are now out and still waiting for the 3rd op to get the pins out of my leg to walk. Expect to have it done within next 2-3wks so hopefully will be walking (in a fashion) by the end of July.

Good to hear.

Some great pics there Rob,

He actually crashed alongside me, I remember finally exhaling when I stopped just to see another bike thundering into the gravel in a spectacular fashion. Luckily I was quite close to the wall so well away from the incident.

Just out of curiosity were you being wheeled about in a chair?
