News from Rod. There are still places left on the grid for the Eurocup at Anglesey in September.
The meeting takes place 20/21 September, with practice on the Friday available, £90 for 6-8 10 minute sessions (this taken from Eurocup site). The meeting will run on the full circuit and the Eurocup usually has good long races. Entries are also great value for money at 200 euros a round (That's less than a lot of Club meetings!). Enter on the Eurocup website http://www.sidecar-eurocup.de or PM 'rodders' on the forum for more details.
Big Wally has sent some photos of the taxi rides at East Fortune. They're on the site here and once Wally has time there will be more on his own site here. Wally doesn't have as much spare time as me.
Just a quick reminder that Mark Brown's (Jester) Ireson is still up for sale. He owes me a pint now View details here and loads of F2's for sale in the F2 classifieds here
Get well soon Robin Daykin of Teampastit, after their accident at the weekend. Latest news is Robin has a broken bone at the top of his spine and should be moved to Aberdeen in the next few days.
Bruv Graham's not having a great weekend at Cadwell. Qualified 33rd, but fell off in warm up this morning on the third lap. He's ok, but not going to be racing this afternoon. Sister Muck on the other hand, did 3 laps yesterday on a bicycle round the mountain circuit dressed as a smurfette riding in the charity ride - pics definitely to follow!

It's Mandy's birthday 23rd August. I lost a bet and said I would make the forum purple for a day. We then did double or quit, and I lost again. Thankfully I'm not one to chase a bad loss, or we'd be like it for a month at least. If you like Purple, you're gonna love this. (Oh, and Happy Birthday Mandy )
Despite encountering problems with an overheating engine and loss of power, reigning and three times World F1 sidecar champions Tim Reeves and Patrick Farrance brought the Prof. Dr. Sallmon/Eastern Airways LCR Suzuki home in third place at Rijeka in Croatia to retain their second place in the overall standings with one race remaining.
