Some good lap times from Chuffster at Brands today. Clearly moved on from the disappointments of Mallory. Bring it on Green Machine!

ps Ian Sollieux is OK after his high side at Clearways but can't race for 28 days due to not waking up until he was in the medical centre Shocked

Thanks Dave. Had some good testing on Friday but in really hot conditions. Four races Saturday as well and I still felt fine. Woke up Sunday with a very dodgyy tummy and going hot and cold etc. Only two races to do so I did them despite not feeling too good. Lap times were a little worse but I came home in one piece and enjoyed the weekend.

I spoke with Ian who crashed at clearways, he struggled to know what day it was let alone anything else about his accident. Apparently he was still on the bike when it hit the tyre wall. Other than facial injuries which amounted to bruising and some minor abbrasions he seemed completely fine. Testament to how good the kit he was wearing was.

There were the usual spills during the weekend and the Buell in Thunderbikes did its usual which is to break down. I think it may have finished the second race on Sunday but it certainly didn't finish the previous three.

Great result for Michael Thompson in the last race of the day. He nearly cracked the 49 second barrier but missed by a smidge, I am sure he will do it by the end of the season.

Tope racing by some of the sidecar outfits. It was good to see the World Champs out there, blistering performance.

Perhaps it was something we ate but as to what it was I have no idea.

As for the Buell, he was lucky to finish the fourth race, he tried killing me at paddock hill bend on a rash overtaking manouvre and very nearly landed up in the gravel. I did manage to hang on to his tail ok for a few laps after, thought I may learn something but not sure that I actually did other than the fact that I don't ever want a Buell........
