I doubt it, but I was just about to ask how much it was to go and watch. I would love to come along.

It's normally between £5 and £8 if I remember rightly. If the weather's good, then I love it. Weather was pretty bloody cold at my two
outings to Mallory and Combe last year. Always get lucky at Pembrey with gorgeous sunshine.
However, the competitors do get a number of passes and may have one spare if you ask nicely. My namesake Mr Hovered helped me out last year. Top man
- great re-build diary too.

I shall be parked up with Locosts #39- 4 - 53 -56 - 28 and kits # 71 - 23 -32.
I was due to be racing but not due to technical reasons ( not enough hours in the day to finish the car ).

Anybody going to have an on-board camera?
Sorry to always bug you guys, but it's great racing and it's so damned hard to find good racing to watch. Especially here where there is
barely any racing at all........ sigh.
Good Luck

Forum virgin/newbee here!!
Cadwell holds a special place in my heart. Had my 1st run in my brilliant LA Gold there & had my very 1st 750mc race there as well. Only did 4
races in total anyway.
It will be great to hopefully see some of you guys n galls over the course of the year as i intend to dust the ol'gal off & get back out for
some trackdays & maybe a race. Not to sure about the racing bit though as regs have changed a bit.......mmmm have to see.
Hi to Matt & Ivan @ Procomp, hopefully see you soon chaps.
Cheers, Rob.
I WILL get out again!!
I have a little bit......need more......

Was there on Saturday, supporting bro, Rich D. Really surprised to hear he did another two races on Sunday with that engine! It sounded as rough
as a badgers rough bits! ![](/images//smilies/shocked.gif)
A few pics from Saturday..

Hi should also have some footage of the LOCOST race from Sundays final. will put it up in a day or so.
PROGERS. you only made one arse moment ( the missed gear change over the mountain But i dont think anyone saw it And i wont tell any one ) Looks
like you had a good race.
Rob Bartley. long time no see. Get it out you will only be 10-15 horses down. have ago for donnington. I will U2U.
Well some very good racing over the weekend and some not so good driving by a few. And a bit of protesting the officials/results just to liven it all
up as well. And a rare SUNNY weekend that is well over due. A stark contrast from the SNOW at lyden last month.
Results should be up in a day or two. On the new much quicker 750 website. I am sure there will be many links to the results around in a day or so.
But Will definitely put a link here also.
Cheers Matt
now where's the after sun cream gone

I have removed the cylinder head and found that the valve has gone straight through the piston! there is also a push rod that looks very much like a
wobbly bannana! the reason i have found out of this is when i missed second gear on the restart on saturday i over revved it! i looked back through
the data logger last night and i revved the crossflow to 11132 revs yes that 11 thousand revs! the good part is that it survived for 7 laps after
it!

Hi bloody hell Garry. You got desires to join the the RGB championship. If so usually a bike engine is best it WILL NOT work if trying to use a 1300gt
.
Hope there is not too much associated damage. Give me a shout if theres any spares you need ect. But ime thinking you will have everything needed.
Cheers Matt
Ps apologies to 82 Locost. I appear to have completely overlooked you when mentioning those forum members racing. Your on the radar now.

Hi Matt,
Sorry didn't get a chance to catch up with you at the weekend, was all a bit hectic with scrut, qualy and race all over by 2pm!
Had a so so race, got a shitty start (losing 2 places) and as you (kindly) noticed I got a bag of neutrals after the mountain and lost another.
Managed to claw back a place but couldn't quite catch the two guys in front. Finished 6th. Came home in one piece though and another PB, so not
all bad.
Sounds like the locosters had an eventful couple of races! How did the kits get on?
Cheers
Paul (no "d" in rogers )

No idea how Kits got on i am affraid i know we lost our brand new first turn of the wheel car in the allcomers race due to a bib spin on some idiots
oil. and that Andy put a rod through the block and caught fire and one other lost an engine. Couldent stay to watch the race as we wanted to get out
before the day tripers trafic got to bad on tghe way home ect.
