"0ur blocks" race report at Goodwood.

As people know who were there the day is split into 2 halves and Terry and I were in the afternoon on friday 13th sept. There were 6 sidecar "races",so all the afternoon folk had 3 x 4 lap races. Solos had hand on crash helmet starts and sidecars had the passenger running on to the platform-trying to get there before their driver went without them which did happen a couple of time. Am pleased to say I didn't fall over or get left behind but did get good at "creeping" to the bike though we were letting the other 3 outfits "go" as we were taking it carefull to see how my back stood up to it (was ok,bit sorerer than usual) I did well and got the results of all 6 races on the friday.

We didn't do the final as my back had just about had enough so quit whilst could still stand. It was raining hard for the last few races. It was a very enjoyable 3 days. Sorry if I forgot anyone or got names wrong etc. A big thank you to the members of the Mortimer club for all their hard work and for the free tea and cakes!!!!xx

Thanks for the report Olive, always good to read up on how everyone got on.
Just to clarify Terry's passengers, I unfortunately broke my collarbone falling off a speedway bike a couple of weeks before Goodwood, it was Peter Snell with Terry on Friday who broke his leg.
My collarbone has been plated, and is healing well. Best wishes to Pete, I hope he has a speedy recovery.

Whoops,sorry,should have asked who was were,forgot and when we got home there was a family bevievment (well,on the day after we got home) so wasn't really concentrating.x
