Snetterton 28/29th June

CK & AK · 24-06-2008, 08:32 PM

Next meeting approaching rapidly!

We'll be there from Thurs night as doing the test day on the Friday.
With Clint (#36) now 2nd in the championship and Paul (#39) doing well, we are keeping everything crossed for a good weekend's racing. Once again we will be in the garages, as are making the most of them before we need the gazebo again for Mallory/Pembrey & Anglesey...

If anyone wants a spare ticket top come along, please drop me a PM by Thurs midday, and I'll see what we have left

Thanks loads CK, been a while since i've been to the circuit, probably just after Egi retired in 2006, he did 19 yrs with the rotary F1 Norton, Caicerrig may know him.
Cheers again, i'll PM you my address nearer the time, or you can get my details from my website:

Nice one,
George.

Looks like I will be coming up on the Sunday. Cant miss the MotoGP!

CK, you had better put on a good show! Im gonna be missing 8 hours of Superbike Sunday on Eurosport for you! I checked a 5 day forecast, and the weekend (at Dereham atleast) should be dry dry dry (tho dont take that as gospel)! And I WILL be on the monster! YAY!

Need I keep an eye on it to make sure you dont 'arf inch the engine?! As I remember you were after an 800 engine

Hi Neil.
Hope you make it to the Anglesey circuit in Sept, i should be going, it's only a couple of miles from where i am, plus CK has offered tickets so it would be both rude and extremely stupid not to accept his offer! ; )

Take care mate,
George.

CK & AK · 25-06-2008, 07:14 AM

George - I'm the female half of the double act sir! (CK = Charlotte)

Neil - we do have 2 x 'sorted' 800 engines... but a spare wouldnt go amiss

.
Please dont go to too much trouble to get to visit - I'd hate to see you grumbling next Monday about how you missed the TV on Sunday

Here is a linky to this weekends racing timetable: http://www.thundersportgb.com/index2...d=34&Itemid=99
Our class is the Junior Powerbike class

CK

oops!...sorry`bout that Charlotte, my only defence is that i have only been a member for two months and i'm still getting to know you all.
It took a fortnight before i realised that Benson was female..i think!

take care,
G.

why didnt you come & say hi, you muppet!

thought you might have sent a PM, as could have left a ticket on the gate for you as had one spare.

Kato is correct - Clint romped home in all 4 races this weekend, tho this wasnt down to just luck - he's a really good rider, who has a really good mechanic in AK - who was working on the bike late on Fri night due to the front cam sprocket deciding to be kaput - involving a 7 hour round trip for 2 of the lads in going to get one from our garage, as the 3 dealers in distance of Snett didnt have any in stock (order item only!)
Bonsey also had a good weekend too finishing in top 10 all weekend with a 5th & 4th today in class!

Well done you guys, you deserve it.

Kato · 29-06-2008, 05:56 PM

Neil....that'll be my paintwork that made it that fast, yes it was clint that won the second race along with the 1st, 3rd and 4th a clean sweep for CK & AK bloody brill.........

29-06-2008, 10:33 PM

Clint was miles ahead in that second race!

What bikes are they? cant be 600's! left everything else for dust!

CK & AK · 30-06-2008, 08:08 AM

Neil - they have never been 600's - they are both Monster 800's (tho one was a 620 last year). It was due to the track having big staights so we could draw the legs out on the bikes more - as we suffer on the smaller tracks where our long wheelsbase doesnt help us against the very nimble SV's and 400's. This was the first track that suited our bikes - but still trying to improve weight too, but cant do anything much about the wheelbase tho.

Next one is Mallory on the 27th July for a one dayer.
