Glad you are both ok and well done to Stafford. Graham Hill is a horrible bend, I even managed to run wide on a parade lap once!! A marginally better effort was made on my first DD race, as below, but after the few races I did I have a huge amount of respect for anyone who does race and doesn't finish last, like I did in each race.
Once day I will return... maybe once Dan has stopped crashing as he's just bloody dangerous! |

Even finishing last means you have got out there and had a go and can stick two fingers up to all those people sat track side taking the p1ss saying they could do better- maybe they could but they have to do it to prove it!! My first race was a real eye opener- 2012, Easter weekend, unseasonally good weather, a hired van, a trusty tent and a mate along for moral support. Looking around the paddock and thinking to myself 'It all looks a bit serious but I'll be alright I'm a reasonably quick road rider'. First practice was enough to make me re-think that- racing is COMPLETELY different and only those that have had a go will understand properly. It is also fantastic fun (when things stay the right way up or don't break), incredibly addictive and possibly the best thing I have ever done on two wheels.
