I must agree, had a good time. A big thanks to TommyN for getting me on the track to stretch a little. Weather worked out too, with no rain.

What a rush! Been a while. Last 2 years the laps were 40 mph yawns so I wasn't sure if I would go this year. But there was a caravan so why not? Glad I did! May have hit triple digit speed.

Hopefully the site that sells the photos will post up this year's laps. Here it is:

I have 2, then phone's battery went dead, figured I'd charge it on the way. Low and behold my charger failed and drained my phone. Thanks tommyn again, for lending me your charger at the event, and getting me on the lapping session.
