We hope that Giovanni isn't feeling too beaten up after his tumble, and will be back in action soon...

Well done the "newbies" - we'll see you again before long, we hope And congratulations to Jeff James on mastering the notorious Cobra!

I have a quibble, but not about my results. Leo was in front of me throughout the first race; both his and my lap counts appear correct, so I wonder if our times have been swapped by a transcription error?

Thanks Nick!
Unfortunately Leo crashed on the hairpin in race 1  Ouch

Really? I thought that was in Race 2. Just goes to show how many brain cells died today - I'd better be careful

And now for my next trick I will make *another* beer disappear

Yep - Definitely in race 1.
He was going really well up to that point in a nice little battle with Twed.

Alan,
The results or race 2 look wrong. I had the same number of laps as Ian Fardo. I was certainly ahead of Ian Perry and I believe that Ian Fardo was as well.

Thanks and vey well organised.

Neil

Fards' average speed was reduced because he slowed dramatically on what turned out to be the last lap having sprinted with you the lap before.
We had said we thought you had 2 laps to go when it turned out to be 3 as Andrew came round just before 30 minutes was up.
Apologies for that.
I've only got the Blackberry here but I will change your laps to 16 when I get home tomorrow night.
Unfortunately we had a lack of timers/lap counters for the last race as many people disappeared so some of those left ended up trying to run three stopwatches.

I still can't get my head around going uphill faster in the quest than downhill. 27mph up 23 down..
And Neil doing the opposite on his nocom.
Would be quite a quick track if they got rid of those pesky hairpins!
Our sprint on the last lap that wasn't, was 36mph for the record.
which might explain why I lost so much rubber going into the corner, but also why I really couldn't be bothered to repeat it again.
Riding home hurt!

Seconded! Not only superbly organised but surely the first time the results have been posted online before most people had even left the track. Many thanks to Alan, Leo and everyone else who made it possible. Thanks also to all the new faces who came along - I hope you had a great day and will come again soon.

The Stourport Sports Centre staff are the best we see all year. Despite all the new tracks planned for next year this is definitely one we should keep in the calendar.

Definitely!!
 
I'm just wondering if we could double it up with a race at Solihull (assuming we could get around the insurance issue...)
That's another great track although I wouldn't recommend the camp site I stayed on last night I'm afraid!
 
Are there any more Stourport Quibbles before I send the sheet to Kevin (above quibbles already noted of course...)
