3 sisters 21st September
Went racing with my 2 sons on Sunday. I was chief pit biatch & photographer & had a really good day. The weather stayed fine & sunny, so we had some fantastic racing. I had messed about with Matt's suspension, so he went out in morning practice with the instruction to come in if it wasn't right. He didn't come in, so all was well. It was also Tim's 1st race on his RR, he was going well.
Chris No 29 (my eldest) 1st time at 3 sisters he finished with a 7th & a 9th Matty No 57 (my middle one). Got a 12th & 14th. Running a standard engine & only has a Maxton spring for "upgraded" suspension. Tim on his RR No117. 4th in his 1st race, spot on muck Mike (our mate) He absolutely flies on this thing. Got a 3rd in one of his races. A few more pictures of a brilliant day. The guy on this Triumph won both his races and sounded the horn on the last lap, how cool is that

Re: 3 sisters 21st September
It's Preston & District. The track is a Go Kart track. I did my 1st trackday there years ago, if you want to learn how to corner, this is the place to do it

Re: 3 sisters 21st September
Me and my friend was there good days racing. Lad on green & yellow 125 Honda races at Thundersport GB meetings and they bought bike from somebody I know. Are you doing any other meetings this season. Will be at Cadwell again this weekend and Donnington/Mallory in a fortnight?

I still can't get my head around Druids. People keep telling me different ways of taking it, but my brain won't let me, I end up taking the 1st apex & then running wide when I come onto the straight. Going to sort it this time tho 3 Sisters is a brilliant circuit for the late brakers, even 650's have a go at 1000cc bikes there (ask Toadie ). Fantastic to watch

Re: 3 sisters 21st September
Funny that, I never had any problem with Druids, I keep getting my entry into Lodge wrong. I quite like double apex corners like Druids and Coppice at Donington, but my all time favourite corner has to be Cascades at Oulton
