The last Day of Term

Today I went the the RGB meeting at Snetterron. I wasn't racing as I'd decided to skip it to save the engine for The Birkett in three weeks time. I love watching clubman racing as its so entertaining due to the different skill levels. Experienced old hands + novice new boys in their first races

I also picked up the front 3 bulkheads for the new chassis. From Tim Pell. Looking at the picture I suspect it is going to be fairly light weight :-)

The rgb races went well and some of the RGB mob were also racing in an closed wheel all comers race which saw stock hatch pitted against RGB cars and loads of other different machinery. So we all stood on the bank with the rest of the rgb paddock and cheered on our mates

The complete field was being led by a glorious bikesports Speed who led all the way until the last lap when because of waved yellows at Richies Chicane he slowed right down and was caught and passed by the second place Caterhan R400 while still under waved yellows. Overtaking under yellow is strictly forbidden and will normally earns you a good wigging from the clark of the course, disqualification and a licence endorsement!. Scandelously the race was awarded to the R400 and the results were confirmed.

Still with the remainder of the RGB field having a great time on the bank in the autumn sunshine cheering the RGB boys taking part in the last race of the year, there was a real last day at school atmopshere with lots of laughs. Everybody was talking about plans for next year and I'm now fired up with enthusiasm over the engine change and new chassis build .

It looks like Class B could be quite busy as several drivers were talking about engine changes and so on to get into Class B. But first comes the Birkett!
