Wet Wet Wet (crap band and crap weather)

Sorry 'bout that - managed to get a race report posted on the website but never got around to updating the blog, so here goes.

If you got this far then you probably know that both Erol and I had a pretty miserable time at Cadwell Park, both of us not enjoying the ridiculous conditions that we had to endure. We also managed to destroy a marquee too, so all in all, a tough time was had by all.





Still managed to get the wheels off the ground (but only just!) Thanks for standing around in the horrible weather, Maria.

What did turn out to be rather interesting was that my dry bike was 10bhp under the limit! It's good to know that it is safely inside what is allowable, but giving away a 10% power advantage seems a bit too generous of me. So maybe it's time I got round to changing the oil and plugs and maybe even treating the old girl to a new air filter; standard Honda parts, of course ;-)

And then we may be ready to go Hornet racing again and back up at the front of the pack.

Now, last year, we were only given 1 race at Donington park (yes it was quite a long one and due to a re-start it felt like 2 races, one straight after the other) but nobody liked it and we were sure that New Era would return to a 2 race format for this year.

Well, no they haven't and it's not really very good. £135 entry fee for a 12 lap race seems a bit poor really - not happy :-(

But we have 2 months off before then, plenty of time to moan at Jim Parker and see if we can get him to change his mind (and pigs might very well fly!!!)

More soon
