29th March Snetterton 300
18th May Oulton Park
29th June Donington Park GP
17th August Cadwell Park
14th September Brands Indy
We are going to struggle at Snetterton and Donington power wise against the IL4s but are already doing a rain dance to level the playing field slightly.
Just off to do our ACUs at Brands today, hopefully shouldn't be a problem.
Will keep the thread updated with pics, vids and hopefully no crashes.
Oh any ideas for s team name????

Looking forward to seeing the bikes all kitted out.
I've not checked the rules since all the tdr moaning. Is it for novice licence holders only or could I enter some of the 1000cc short races with a national licence? Be a good laugh having a race weekend outside my own championship where there's no pressure.
Look forward to seeing how you guys get on out there. Fingers crossed you can make a few Thundersport rounds too.

Man. By the looks of that it'd take two full years of racing to get a national in a England. I wonder if you can jump from novice to national in the one year if you finished in the 110% rule. Seems like a right long drawn out process.
Maybe it's just coz Scottish riders are instantly awesome and they know we'll be in motogp within a year so don't wanna hold us back.
What you guy doing for tyres for the endurance races? Staying with the usual or having to go to harder compound?

We qualified 4th out of 14 for first Endurance race at Snetterton, 2 spots behind Team Green. Not a track we expected to do well at being as it has 2 big straights were we get proper done over by he big Il4s, so very happy with that. I get to start this race. It's a Le Mans start so Stalker holds the bike and I sprint across the track and jump on. Make a good start and am 2nd into first corner. Hold 2nd into turn 3 but Keith of Team Green does me on a small straight but he tucks in behind the guy in front who tips in way to early into 4. I manage to go round the outside of both of them and hold the lead until the big back straight where they fook off past me with that extra 50bhp
Settle in and just try and put in constant laps and keep them in sight. Bike is playing up, missing a lot (found out a week later the TPS has gone again
Next round is Oulton Park on the 18th May. Can't bloody wait!

I don't remember anything about the crash, or post crash when the police arrived and I was apparently out of the car and walking around.
My memory starts again about 5 hours later when I woke up (for the 3rd time apparently) in Hospital, with a headache and a bump on my head.
Funny, I woke up and there's a very cute lady doc there. She asked "Do you know who I am?". "No, and I'm sure I would remember you."
She goes on to explain we've been through this a few times already!
Ms Fernandez knocked out her opponent in her last fight with a knee to the face, she recently found out that the girl didn't remember anything of that round.

All I remember was that it happened SO FAST! On Clearways at Brands - a corner I'd done countless times. But I was off the racing line and maybe a bit too complacent and suddenly there was a micro second of the feeling of loss of grip but then something new and it all went pear shaped. I still replay the memory in my head and it makes me feel ill! I guess you need to high side a lot to just get used to it. I still don't know what I should have done to try and recover the situation. I can't replay the details well enough to analyse anything. I ended up in hospital for a week with a dodgy back.
Because I'm not a really fast/competitive/frequent rider, it's set me back a lot that incident. I could lie and say a load of macho bollox but actually it's made me loose faith in really running on the edge of my tyres and pushing it and it will be a while I guess before that memory fades.

3 years ago I had a serious accident (started as a saved high side .....turned into mother of all tank slappers) Broke 10 ribs (some flayed) , multi collar bone breaks and two punctured lungs.... woke up in ITU ....for weeks no memory of what happened....7 weeks later I was doing 4 days in Almeria never missed a session.
To this day I only have a vauge memory of the accident...its like a film I saw or a dream I had.....all good in the end...thats why I bought the SD to go to Almeria )

We should have a best highside thread. Mine was at Edwina's at Mallory Park. I bet several others here have done the same thing in the same place!! Quite new to track time and just getting used to knee down. Too much juice while cranked over, spun up, shut of (wrong!!) and fling..... Landed on head toalling a new helmet, broke a finger and a bit busted up but still rode the bike over 100 miles home (no choice!)
I did remember that one and the main thing was the sudden unexpected silence. Anybody else recognise this?? One moment its all frantic, noise and focus, the next its just silent and floaty. I honestly had no idea what was happening till I landed
My mate some years later had a lowside at the exact same spot so I got to watch him crawl off the track just as he had me.

Due to Haircut differences it has been decided that Shaggy and Cue ball will got their separate ways for 2014. They would like to thank the forum members for their support over the last year and hope the forum will continue to follow their exploits in future ventures. At this time the Team manager has the full support of the riders of which there are now none, he will be looking for a new position possibly as the local tramp as it suits his drinking habits and gives him a reasonable excuse for shouting at people who do there best to ignore him.
