A big balls track,one where lots of horses make life easier,I'd imagine. Iddon,Bridewell and Ducati are a good bet,the Beemer isn't slow either,so Buchan should be up there. The Yamahas may suffer a little.

Thruxton was always one of my fave tracks to watch at. The 2 chicanes were good viewing. And always good parties the night before

I remember Glen Richards making the underpowered ZX7R work miracles around there. Slipstream city!

@Weeksy, if you do go,look out for a friend of my youngest lad, Zak Corderoy, racing stock 600’s.
He’s a local lad, (Blewbury), and with some decent backing is going pretty well.
Fastest in free practice on a track I don’t think he’s ever been to before.

Well so much for that crock of shit prediction. :lol:

Glen Irwin was lucky or not lucky,depending on how you look at it.

It's an excellent question considering his performance in previous years, seeing him that far back every weekend, every race is just a mystery.

Let's face it, he's already out of the team, Bird doesn't accept this irrespective of who it is and what they've done previously for him. I'm guessing he's either got Skinner or Stacey already sitting in front of a 2022 contact

I'm still loving the Junior Superstock more than any of the other classes.

Quite a low attrition rate today tho'
