Well July entries are full at 100 and we have a reserve list - should be a good event if the weather plays ball.

So Barbon 2 on Saturday, British Championship round, small class as we run in Nat B at the back of the main event , I’m sharing with Nick in DJJ, still prepping and want to save KEC for Chateau Impney the week after, looking forward to a bit of family rivalry and banter, Lot of local support from Nicks work sponsors and colleagues so should be a good day, weather looks promising too

Well we deserved some good weather and we got it ! 8-) , and the day nearly came when son beat father !, he just missed out beating me by 00.21.

he also got hid PB in DJJ, I was a little shy of my best, messing up the top hairpin on every run ! :evil: , and congrats to Richard Derrick winning the class

DJJ will be for sale in a month or so, as ill stick it up on the forum when its ready, it needs a little paint as the stickers that were on previously brought some paint off and ive hidden it with other stickers :lol:

It was a warm day! Is there any footage of the single seater that went off roading in 6th gear?
First time there first time up the hill it's always a good idea to go flat in top and forget it goes left between tree's ....

It was certainly warm in my little tin box! There's two things we can't control at Barbon - the weather and the driver's talent :lol: :lol:
Always good to see so many competitors and spectators enjoying the day though.
