Got my race entry for Wales and we are in with the Dyna Pros and looks like all doing timed qualifying. Does anyone know if this is really the case?

Best make sure there is plenty of life left in those 'wets'...

Wets fine, we can hopefully stick it over some of them Dyna Pro boys. Bring it on.

Just find it a bit weird that we are qualifying, having not done so all season. There are also only fourteen races, 12 lappers for us. So a tad longer which is always good as its not so much of a sprint and dependant on getting a flying start. It may be a tad difficult trying to work out where you are in relation to your own class though - perhaps we should have pit boards......!!!!!!!

I hadn't noticed the 12 laps bit.....good job I've been spending a bit of time on the exercise bike. Trouble is I'm now full of cold....lets hope its gone by the weekend 'cos 12 laps of a 1.5 mile circuit is like 18 on the Indy circuit!!

I guess they have had to combine the two grids and therefore we have to do as the dyna-pro do. It would be a bit iffy putting us all behind the dyna-pro grid because the top 10 or so of us are quicker than the last ten or so (maybe more) of the dyna-pros so it would be a bit chaotic!

Not sure about pit boards....I'll just race whoever is in front! Can't see me being in such a comfortable podium postion that I had the luxury of backing off Laughing

Dave, where's the confidence gone? You rode really well at Brands Hatch, you should still be on a high.

I may have to invest in a new set of wets, I want good finishes.

plenty of confidence mate, which is why i have been doing some training 'cos I reckon I can deliver some good results this weekend. Also have lots of visitors who have never seen me race, so really want to put on a show!

My wets are OK, but have checked with A&R and he will have some in stock just in case I cook mine.

Does that mean I am not allowed past you?

I will have to phone Alan and make sure he has a set for me. I have Red Wines old tyres, seen better days. With my current run of form, a bit of good grip could be essential. Would rather like to stay in the top ten now that I have managed to get there.

Also need to take good rookie points to negate the damage to Jon. he will be back for the GP round where he still hopes to come in as a top 3 rookie.

Yep, keep behind me.

Must go, its our wedding anniversary and Jacqui doesn't know yet that I'm taking her out tonight for a slap up meal. She thinks she's ironing and waiting for a tescos delivery!

shhhhhh.....

Susie Grayson has pulled out of the Mini Twins. She thinks the cam chain has done a bunk at Snetterton. Apparently had way too much fun on the 600 and will not ride the SV again.

Can someone save me a space please? Probably won't get there until about midnight Crying or Very sad
