As promised we’ve posted up the Frome Ron Jefferies Centre Championship Trial Regs, the North Somerset RT Keedwell Timed Trial Regs, & the Blackman TT results I found I’d already posted [brain fade I suppose!]
Sunbeams’ Greybeards is a handicap event btw – if you are 40 you’re handicapped 30ml, with a zero ml handicap if you’re 70 or over any machine is eligible. If you want to make a weekend of it the Sunbeam Club is running a British bike & twin shock [including foreigners] at the same venue the day before, you can camp at the venue as well. Let me know if you any more info.
The decorating is coming on slowly, two walls have to be transformed from matt black to a much paler colour
My understanding now is that Tyson went out on day two of the ISDE after speeding on the public highway, many riders were stopped by the Polis I gather & some riders had their driving licences impounded! The suggestion seems to be that the time schedules were too tight – nb there was a similar problem at this years SSDT where the time allowed for a purely road section back to Fort William was insufficient, & riders were allowed extra work time next morning. Paul Edmondson got his 17th Gold – what a record, it seems like only yesterday when he’d be at the Bristol Dirt Bike Show on his unicycle! Brother Lee finished 7th overall & 4th in the C1 class, & of the 14 women starters 7 finished.
And now for something completely different, how about going to the Vintage Club sprint meeting at Wroughton next Sunday signing on from 08:30, first timed run ca 11:00hrs, there are 26 classes with just the one Vintage class[ up to 30/12/45 are eligible] ranging up to unblown over 2litre machines and road legal machines – could be fun.
Also, don’t forget, the Bristol Grass Racing Combine are hosting the National Youth Grass Track Champs at their track at Hullavington on 3rd September
See you at the Ron Jefferies? – Frank
