Here's a few pics from Sunday afternoon's test day at East Fortune... not many out at the time, hence the lack of variety! ;)

Nearly made it into a picture. I was marshalling at Hannah's all day Sunday. In the last pic, I was just out of shot on the right. Standing at the end of the tyres where the traffic normally leaves!! Was a good day weather wise, and don't recall much in the way of sidecar incidents.

I do know one of the classic solos dropped oil from just exiting snake right round and into the pits, and pretty much all of it judging by how much there was on the track. I had to help dust and brush it all. Grrrrrrrr. Took bloody ages and I wanted to go and grab the rider and get them to help!! Cause it was you sidecar guys/girls that were out next, so you were most at risk. Feckin' hate oil spils!!

Hope everyone there had a good time.

:D

And I've got Gary's kick start 'thing' lying on my desk, to get parcelled up and posted through to him.....

Glad everyone enjoyed their first outing to EF this year. Nice to see a lot of old faces, and meet a few new ones.

Perhaps Mose was explaining how much work the new stands have been, for the rest of us anyway!
