Thanks folk from all at NG, was great to see you all out there on Saturday. Certainly made my day, and I know you surprised and impressed a lot of other people.

I hope we can link up again soon.

Our thanks to you and the rest of the club Nino, we will definately be back at a meeting or two with you next year. I'm very pleased with the response and comments I've had already from a mixture of people since yesterday about the classic sidecars.
Also, thanks to all of you who entered, it was a lot work arranging but as a first meeting, I think we done well and again already I have other teams interested in the next one! The results for both races were combined and the final results were:

Faulkner/Gray - 45 F/L

Salter/Dixon - 45

Luhr/Currell - 27

Biggadyke/Capewell - 21

Goodall/Goodall - 16

Johnson/Roughan - 13

Nickels/Salter - 13

Unfortunately Smith/Gristwood suffered a coming together in race one, get well soon Simon! Kingsmill/Bedford finished practice but discovered problems which kept them off the grid & Sawyer/Adams DNS.

Thanks again to all invloved, there's a lot of ideas for the next few seasons to give us some different circuits, etc. Please send a pm, with your name and e-mail address, if you would like to be on the mailing list.

Well Done Ben,
Just like to congratulate you on organizing the racing on Saturday. it was very well recieved by the spectators I think talking to people afterwards.Maybe some of them haven't seen idiots leaning out the front before!.
We were a little late getting our protests in but will let you off this time (only joking mate). I'm sure after this event you won't have any problems getting support for the next one's. Once again Ben well done.
