Anyone off to the races this weekend?

We shall be there. I've even designed myself some special Rossi meets Smurf t-shirts for the event so if you are there and you spot me, come and say hello! :D

We decided to do the full weekend this year because it coincides with my son's birthday - not sure the child is ready for a Donny camping experience :D should be interesting :D

the boy is doing that "my first license" thing with Ron Haslam's race school at Donnington during the school holidays - it's free so seemed like a good day out

I was going to treat myself to a track day for my birthday if I'm still in the UK then - I'm told it's a good way to improve confidence and control.

Smurf - recommend you take plenty of loo roll and some disinfectant
hand wash as the facilities are a little............basic!

A couple of black bin liners always come in handy as you can wrap your sleeping bag in them when it rains.

Bit of cash (hot dogs are a fortune), asprin and plenty of beer.

Do have a great time. Some of us are working :cry:



Say hello to Vale for my better half Jilly

Well would you believe it - I got blooming sunburnt! I'm as red as my baby bike :D

Had a fantastic weekend despite the mud. Rossi failed to oblidge with the personal tuition :( Still, was great to watch him in action in the flesh.

Time for a bath and a relax before test attempt number 3 tomorrow morning :S
