Cadwell Park BSB

Post by Skub »

Hiccy on form for early practice and it looks like Josh Brookes has finally decided to play racing.

When you exceed track limits at Cadwell you don't get a long lap penalty...

I waited for Mansfield - but it was quite a boring slide/roll version - not remotely spectacular!!!

I kind of wanted to leave it at one crash per circuit!! But equally - I did get the chance to try as often as you! I'm sure if I'd have been able to keep trying, my count would only have increased :lol: :lol: :lol:

It is but much smaller so the bike didn’t reach it.

Broken finger so didn’t make the races today.

Damn good racing. Hiccy's on form for sure. Even Brookes made an effort.

That Honda looks like it's nearly there,if they could get the tyres to run the race distance consistently.

The Honda isn't bad in British but still terrible in wsb. I was so impressed with Hicky though, awesome performance.
Still confused by Josh, but a much better performance

A few years ago somebody managed to talk the landowner behind Barn into selling a bit of land to extend the run off a bit. I did my first ever weekend as a corner commander at Barn for Bemsee and thought "wtf" when i turned up on the day as it was my first time to the track after days at Brands etc which are normal big tracks and realised there was fuck all run off then rectasil barriers.

It now has more room and a slight margin for error but the barriers are now about 5-6 metres back instead of 1-2 metres so running wide on exit doesnt mean an immediate impact ........doesnt help if you hit the grass on the way in though as Tas did :shock:
