Case of Stella and then hit the bar ? top man ! we had a disaster ourselves, stopped at cherwell valley services so the kids could use the loo and me missus had an asthma attack, so we get her settled down and spend the journey up to the track gradually lowering the temp in the car so that its not such a great shock when she gets out. Unfortunately within seconds of getting out the asthma kicks back in. We eventually get into the luffield A stand about 2/3rds of the way in and was rained on by horizontal crap for the best part of two hrs. In the end we watched the 1000cc superstocks and race 1 and went home after the wife started on her 3rd attack, shame but thats life I guess. And JT did well after his crash which happened just across from us, in fact it was a pretty good day apart from illness and weather !

Nah, I sat and watched it at home, thanks to Eurosport LOTS of people missed race 1 due to the change of channels at the last minute...

Yeah, I went. Bloody miserable weather. I thought there was going to be a riot when they announced the last two races were being cancelled (including the second round WSB race) but I guess everyone was that cold and wet they were glad to be going home. I know I was!

JT didn't do too bad, all things considered.
