took Leeann and Daniel (aged 5) to Cadwell on Saturday for qualifying aand practice.
what a great day out.
The sun was shining and the racing was pretty spactacular.
Josh Brooks over the mountain was absolutely fearless. If you have never stood anywhere near this spectacular piece of road and watched a full on 200bhp superbike fly, well words fail me.... he must have been two feet or more off the floor! every lap! I know it's HM plant Hondas home circuit (the team is based in Louth) and he must have had some laps in there before but no-one else came close to his efforts. Kiyo was tame by comparison and I always thought he was a 'balls out' racer.....
Shame we couldnt be there today Sunday for the main event, but still glad we went yesterday....
ps hope the guy who got knocked off his VFR about half a mile from the gates at tea time is ok today, his bike was a bit smashed up and he was in the ambulance by the time we got to the scene..we stopped and helped his mate get the bike off the floor and onto the grass verge. and guess what...yep the 70 yr old car driver didnt see him coming!
SMIDSY strikes again!
