Hello,long time since I did this (results). Hope you grab a cuppa before reading to stay awake! Mick had got the BSA working so decided he would like to enter Marks Tey. Sue couldn't ride because she is awaiting a second op on her arm/shoulder to shorten the plate so she has more movement so Dan offered his services. They went for a ride round a local field,all went ok so meeting entered. They went on the saturday and said was warmish evening (for Marks Tey that is). Terry and I went sunday morning as can't ride at the mo due to nerve damage etc in my back-would like to ride next year if possible-wait and see. The boys were just going off for their practice as we arrived-good timing. Paul Weavers with Geoff Neville were trying to get their Saki running-had started and died. The Saki decided it didn't want to race so Paul and Geoff watched for the day. (electrics-box?). Karl Weavers hadn't been on the track for around 20 years,he had "Spike" on with him to help.

First race there were 7 starters and 7 finishers-everyone except Paul+Geoff out on track:
1. Wayne Barker + Brian Parr
2. Jamie Nelson and sorry.forgot to ask pasengers name as they weren't in the programe
3. Ivan Barker + Graham Eastall
4. Mick+Dan Mead (yippeee!)
5. Darren Metcalf + Jason Sigoumay-as the programe said but that's wrong spelling
6. Mick Baldwin + Harrison payne
7. Karl Weavers + Steve Nunn Or Spike as known to most!!

Second race
1. Jamie Nelson + ??
2. Ivan Barker + Graham
3. Mick Baldwin + Harrison
4. Darren Metcalf + Jason
5. Karl Weavers + Spike

Mick + Dan did start as did Wayne + Brian. The drive belt frayed and broke on Mick's outfit,they cleaned out the mess,put spare belt on and had drive so was ok for next race. Wayne + Brian weren't so lucky,they had a "coming off" incident. Both walked away from the track but Wayne had arm in sling-trip to hospital,didn't hear result of that-hope not broken and "get well" soon to them.

Forgot to say the race was restarted after Wayne+Brian's "problem". Darren + Jason had been leading the race at the time.

Third race
1. Ivan + Graham
2. Jamie +??
3. Mick + Dan (they had stalled on the line so last to get away)
4. Mick + Harrison
5. Darren + Jason (they had a bit of a "front wheel in the air" start and stalled)
6. Karl + Spike (on their "spare" bike due to missfire on the Norton)

Fourth race
1. Jamie + ??
2. Ivan + Graham
3. Darren + Jason
4. Mick + Harrison.

Mick and Dan did start but their chain broke and came off. Karl and Spike didn't go to the start as "spare" bike not running right and think a bit of driver "fatigue"

So,all in all although there wern't loads of outfits on the track ( there was enough dust with what was out there!) they all enjoyed themselves and apart from Wayne (sorry-didn't find out if Brian was ok and Wayne was seen back at the track with a sling) there were no "nasty" incidents-they all lived to tell the tale. I expect I have got bits wrong-sorry if did. xx Wink Now how do I put this waffle on to the Pre 65 without haveing to re-type? Sue showed me once!! xx Laughing
