Found this; Norry and Dorothy were driving their cars (Shark and Mustang) in this parade, I was in mine.

24h-Race / Re: Preliminary Timetable 24Hr race

So they do; I think we brought the initial filling down!

My point was more that in the evening, if that timetable is fixed, you won't know who has pole position.

2005 fastest laps (non-championship enduros); Enduro 1 56.686, Enduro 2 56.828 - both Sparrow/Adnitt.

Lots of DNFs and DNSs due to arguing with the scenery.

The pole-sitter fills the gin contraption and distributes it, though; you can't do that if there's another qualifier the day after.

There's been a non-championship race there since then, but I can't remember if there have been any championship ones - without delving into the archive...

I'm sorry to hear that. The bus was still extant, last I heard.

Free to deserving home. Arai open-face lid; I'll get the size tomorrow. Suit is around 5'10" and slim.

Will F1 cars be penalised for crossing the white lines too? It's not fair if they aren't, yet clubbies are.

Agreed Paul, hence my...

...comment.

There's good surf to be had at Anglesey, and there's a static wave place along the north coast (which I haven't been to).

I gave my board away five years ago...

With all the grumping that went on about the moving of the 24hr from Snetterton to Anglesey and so on, I had a look at the times and mileages; as I remember there was about 50 miles of difference getting from Edinburgh to either circuit.

Spend the fortnight surfing.

Well done to him.

I saw the last couple of laps - went to the pub for my tea - and observed that the bumpy downhill left / right at the end of the start/finish straight has been smoothed out and made less difficult. That's a shame.

By pure chance - by way of elderly 2-stroke motorcycles - I might've happened upon a pile of 1100 BMW stuff. Couple of engines and some bits'n'bobs, I think. Emdy need anything?

Technical / Re: Seat location

What if the seat's at an angle? It'll both pass and fail, resulting in an existential crisis at the MSA.
