Cloggsy the Silver SV was mine. The Blue K5 was Cpt nemo's.

I thought the racing was good but had to leave after the first mini twins race to get back to Leeds to go out.

Bob collins was way in front of any other rider in the Mini twins, and how cool did the naked that qualified second look? Nigel summat, crashed out on first lap I think.

Was it Nigel Cooper (or something like

) You left at the same time as me fella - didn't see you go though - my Ford Transit must have been faster

Watched a couple of the minitwins being dyno'ed before we left.

Was speaking to Nigel before the race and he was saying the bikes are restricted to 72bhp and are tested after each race. Basically the bikes are the same as most of ours. The remove the PAIR system, new springs up front, Ohlins at back and that's about it. Plus changing the bolts for lighter ones. Oh and not forgetting getting rid of the lights and panneling and fitting a new subframe.

mr courdelion an i spoke to the chap who ran the CTR team, nice bloke, nigel?, he was riding a mad looking k4 naked with big wide renthals on , it looked wicked , him and his team mate were well quick, i think his team mate won, we were sat in the grandstand (mini) when the naked one came round turn 1 you could hear the bellypan scraping when he cranked it over, how far over do you have to lean to scrape a belly pan?, he had the bin it of win it racer mentallity, unfortunately he binned it , still good to watch though while it lasted.

CTR will rent you one of there bikes if you want to do one of the minitwins races, theyll even hire you it to do a track day first.

after watching these boys Mr Courdelion and i have decided we want to be racers, just not on our own bikes...

wheres that bank loan application form......
