Putting aside the obvious similarity in riding ability and injuries Wink

it would appear that they both have an uncanny ability to avoid 10 second penalties Very Happy

Great season and lots of fun....maybe renew battles next season.

I hope that we can renew battles next season Dave. Its turned out to be a wonderful season, all the better for having decent company around.

I got there in the end, something I didn't think was going to happen. If it hadn't been for your misfortune in Wales, I may not have got past you.

I am elated to have finished 7th, but 2 more points and I would have been sixth. Why did he have to keep following me round?

As for little Jon, it was great to see him out there. Obviously struggling, but at least he had a good time of it. Not sure about his avoidance of a penalty though, tell me more?

In the last race, Jon was braking for Druids before most of us had engaged first gear! I exagerate obviously, but definitely a jump start as Jon was himself quick to point out. I have to confess to having a giggle in my helmet as we set off Rolling Eyes

Obviously not spotted but who cares, the racing was good and I think good for both of us to be out there playing after our misfortunes.

ps Wal is already having second thoughts and my bike is NOT for sale.

Few, thought I was going to be on my lonesome next season. Bet we get forced into Dynapros though. According to Red Wine, that will be good for us!

I confessed to a roll on the start in the first race, that wasn't spotted either. Nor was the blatant jump start in the last race by those two light blue bikes, culminating in my going very backwards and one of them out of the race. If the other one had gone, I would have finished 6th in the championship, or if they had got the rightful 10 second penalty. Thats racing for you I suppose.

I couldn't believe it when I did that, never jumped a start before but I did stop briefly as soon as I realised... did they notice this or was it just they missed the jump start Embarassed

Did struggle all weekend Sad

perhaps I shouldn't have gone back for the last round after all the time out, but then again I secured the 3rd by 101 points and am well chuffed (no pun intended there Mr Chuffster Wink

)

Has been an amazing season, nothing like I expected and hope to see you all out there next year and of course keep in contact!

Looking forward to catching up with you at the dinner dance/awards thingy at the end of the season Jon.

Perhaps it was a bit early to come back, but you did yourself proud, nothing to be ashamed about.

Chuffster,

there's something else I didn't win this year and that is 'Funniest Moment of the Season'.

Apparently there was this bloke who went to a race meeting, paid all his entries, did practice......then forgot to out in the actual race....... I'm with stupid

Who could that be then?

Very Happy

David

That would be me, I decided to err on the side of caution though and not risk myself in the first race..........

Ok, I bodged up, paying too much attention to a visitor and missing the tannoy call, not that you could hear it anyway. A learning curve that one, and one that has not been repeated.
