Top banana! I'm liking it. When do we get to see them fitted?

Well, with the Van waiting on parts, I'll be packing a load of bits and bobs tomorrow and then finishing the spraying on Thursday so the whole lot will be going on on Friday.

Then I'm just waiting for the Voodoo to arrive and it's done

... a weeks set up time and we hit the track. Excited? Oh yes!

Typical! You get an hour to kill and can't spray becasue the air has turned to water! Pea-souper here today!

However, I did drill out and tap the holes for the tail unit as one had stripped. Note to those who tap holes Buy GOOD taps. They make a huge difference.

First up is the test day at East fortune on the 27th, then Elvinton on the 3rd and Croft on the 7th, 8th and 9th.

I've been reliably informed by a scruffy looking Yorkshireman with spanners as fingers that the Forks are arriving very soon

and I'm presently fibreglassing but have to keep coming indoors for a breath as its still underwater outside.

Ok, so the weather is lifting and it looks like some spraying might occur.

Here's the new race HQ (thanks Gordon! ) and Spray Booth-come-Pit garage!




Let us (S)pray!

Race HQ.........Its almost professional...........almost.

Get some pit girls in there and get the pasta cooking and Ducati will be worried.

I don't need Pit Girls, I've got pit Bitches! hairier, but make a very decent cuppa!

and Ducati should be worried! Alex isn't riding this year, (family holidays and all that) so there's no entries from them on the Northern Minitwin grids!
