Hi Folks, I'm a bit late back here, but always try to avoid the computer at the weekend.

We had a good day didn't we!

Congratulations to John, who certainly showed us all how it should be done!

And to Steve, who was really flying, when he could find his gears ;)

(Excuse Alert) As for me, I suffered with my last minute purchase of a new set of A032-Rs, they didn't have the desired effect as they were so slippy on the first couple of runs I practically shat myself. Managed to get quicker through the day though. :oops:

The biggest drawback in running in our class was not being able to watch Rich's antics!!! If there was a pot for most entertaining run of the day you would have had no competition.

Well done too to Stu & Nick M for such great pictures & to everyone else who took part. We had a great day & the sun even managed to make an appearance by close of play.

Lets hope that this is the first of many!
