Long Blog Alert!
Roomy garages cluttered up by cowin' photographers roaming randomly about willy-nilly.
Howard's chatting folk up again. Well, he is a very friendly chap.
What all racing 'bikes need a lot of.
Cormac Conroy - 930cc Ryan BSA - is ready to race.
Vicky watching a Start......
.....and what Vicky saw.
Andy Muggleton - 2012 CRMC 350cc Champion trying out a different Yamaha from the one he rode at Donington - gets the hell out of Copse.
Sean Emmett - Suzuki RG 500 - also at Copse.
Guy Martin sits up and slows down a touch at Maggots on the 997cc Suzuki XR69.
Back in the Paddock we catch up with Andy. He looks happy here but he isn't. He's not happy with the gearing and he's made a change for the next race. We all hope it goes better and we wish him luck.
Andy exits Maggots/Beckets in what turned out to be the final race of the day (the last 3 didn't run). There have been one or two delays and now, at 5:40pm, dark foreboding rain clouds have gathered above us. The camera is set at 1600 ASA to get this shot. David says he's never had to use 1600 ASA before. It's a cowin' outrage and, what's more, he's shaking 'cos it is ruddy freezing. It is gloomy now and much darker than it looks here. Still, all good fun, eh?
We manage to get back to the car before it rains (just) and meet up with Sue and Billy just after 6 as planned. The rain is coming down in stair-rods by the time we get there. Something tells us winter is on the way.
Another racing season has come to an end (sob, sob). It's been great. Roll on the next one.
