The Place

Finally we will be doing our first race meeting of 2009.

So who is going to Brands? We have entered and cant wait to go now. It is one of my favourite circuits and now the outfit is running great it should be lots of fun.

We'll be there.

And me

We will have all three outfits out at Brands.

Great to hear you are sorted.

Simon

Did Phil get his motor sorted?

I'll Be there with a new Monkey from the Gristwood camp

Yeah we'll be there too.... bring it on

Phil and Dave's engine is being sorted as we speak! Should be ready by the Thursday before Brands - so they'll be busy fitting it back in on the Friday at Brands.

We're really looking forward to the weekend.

Michelle (Phil's better half!)

You can count me in, the motor should be ready by then. I'm just looking at my wallet that is sitting in the corner weeping due to the fact that what I thought was a collapsing main bearing turned out to be a cracked crank as well.......
As Mr Nourish said when he gave me the price for the new crank " its your own fault for getting back into racing"
All this dough and I havent finished a bloody race this year!!!! FFS....

This is the first round of the European Sidecar Challenge - so it's good to see some new faces over here. Damien has chosen to go to a wedding and Jean-Pierre is still recovering from his accident but hopes to be there to offer support to his losing team!

Should it have escaped your attention Gristwood and Toms are hosting a festive extravaganza for all sidecar crews on Saturday evening - so if you fancy a free evening's food, drink and song enter for Brands - it's never too late!

Wasn't me that asked but thanks for the reply . Looks like it will be a great weekend

Got the bike sorted at last so will be there with Clint Faulkner. Just hope it lasts this time, fed up with sat playing with myself on the tyre wall (well, actually it's not that bad)
I'm confident me and Mike B will get a finish now.

Best keep an eye on you Ben....if thats what you get up to, on the tyre wall

Glad you've got it sorted at last Ben hope you get a finish. At least it will stop you having to wear glasses!!!

And Reg.... no showing your pants.....
