Don't know where to start.
I'll update with pics when they start coming in and I've got every race on vid so I'll get them up soon.
Could have been better if I'd got my gearing right and had more time to set the bike up in the dry. But trully mega weekend and it should hopefully put me in good stead for some 2013 sponsor ship from the guys who were looking on.
I'll post uo when it will be on tv.

Gordon,
This is exactly what I was hoping for this weekend!
Great fooking job Mate!!!!!
I was watching AMA racing about midnight Saturday and two of my people finished 1st and 3rd in DSB. I then sat back and wondered "How did Gordon do today?"
Look forward to more of the story.
Guess those prospective sponsors took a bit more note, huh?

I was going to call Rob but I my mobile bill last month is a killer. Between calling you in the USA and Linga in Oz it was 3 time what it should be.
I've got to sent some writeups and the official pics out to a few guys. Then the plan is they'll be pondering it all just in time for it coming out on tv. Again, no funding but all little trade accounts and discounts that will make the overall season a lot more affordable.
I've got a website domain and registered the name. Just need to spend a bit of time setting it up. Not got a clue what I'm doing but I seen there's a tutorial so I'll work my way through that. 6 months of hard graft now to get ready for 2013. Most of the boys are going to Spain for winter testing so I need to get the ot in and try and get out there too.

That might be an option mate. I'll pm you when I get time. I started one with one.com and it complete bamboozled me so I'm going through the 14 day refund dance now to get it cancelled.
Bongo and a few of the boys said a blog is easier as I can update it from my phone. 99% of my internet use is on the phone so that would work out better.
All I'm looking for is a domain name. A simple but catchy looking site I can put up pics vids and updates on. And any sponsors names there where if you click on them it'd go to their site. And a PayPal button so anyone can chip in the odd tenner or that.
The bike is getting redone in different graphics over the winter and I'm planning on making up t shirts that would have the site name and sponsor logos.

Pics staring to come through. I'll fire some up if I get any decent ones. It'll take a week or so till I get any video uo.
Watched the move of Plaskett back lasting night. Oh dear. Felt a bit ballsy at the time. Watching it back it was a lunge from about 3 bike lengths back. Oh well.

Quick edit of my fiancees mobile vids from trackside. Cant stop laughing at the genuine surprise of her and her uncle when they spot I'm in 2nd.
Btw. I sound nothing like them. She's Irish and he's English.

It's shit.
The facilities are shit
You have to pit on grass. Really! In 2013 at an MSV circuit
Only half the track takes any balls to ride. Rest is shit.
It's just shit.
Oulton Park and Donington. Now they're real tracks
If all the circuits in the UK made up a human body Cadwell would be the pile ridden weeping ass hole

Lots of racers love the place. Josh Brookes raves about it and I was chatting to Steve Plater in Spain and he loves the place. It is unique. The facilities are indeed shit but the track itself is lots of fun.

Look mongtards. Your not going to convince me to like it. I don't give a fook if Jesus Christ himself claims it as God's own race track.

Starting to get the videos loaded. Here's race 1. This is the first time all weekend I'd been out in the dry. Hence I'm all over the place and got no idea where the grip is. Very very scrap scrappy riding. It makes me cringe watching it back but it worth it to see the outbraking move I pull on the gsxr. Can't believe I actually thought I could make that from so far back. So nearly did too if I'd managed to get it back the box!

Shite start and had that reboud tear problem on the rear tyre making it hard to get the gas on round chris curve and make it hook up.

Still slowly uploading them all.
Race 3. Wet race and 1st podium. Again, tactical steady race to get the result. Decent wheelie at the end and big high 5 for Thundersport Syd at park ferme.
