Thundersport GB, Donington Park, Easter Sunday, 31st March, 2013.

If you fall off at Craners you (and yer leathers) have to take the consequences like a man.
Several warm layers (including at least one hood)? Check.
Sensible walking shoes for those tricky infield surfaces and gradients? Check.
Cuppa hot chocolate? Check.
Sunglasses to combat snow blindness? Double-check!
Note to all you dragons out there: patent snow as a new and improved safety barrier forthwith.
330 (well, most of 'em) competitors line up for a group photo.
Na-na-na-nee-nee! You can't catch me!!
Recession? Wot recession?
Time to refuel: today David is experiencing a suggestion of curry on a bed of rice topped with chips, all washed down with a cuppa tea. He looks very guilty, doesn't he. So he should.
Handily placed paramedics have the best view of the Aprilia Superteens action at The Chicane.
Is it just us, or are these Superteens getting younger and younger?
A proper winter hat and two (count 'em) hoods: it's a new record. 
Note essential trick of keeping yer back to diabolical easterly wind at all times.
Jenny Tinmouth (getting in some more 'bike testing prior to the new BSB season) finished second and set the fastest lap in the Thundersport GP1 race.
By this time (4:00pm) we are so cold that even David has to admit it is time to head home.
If you are thinking of going tomorrow, it's gonna be even colder.
