Sunday's 4hr Endurance Legends Race Meeting was superb, I hope it continues to grow year on year.

A big thank you to Darin & Rob for sponsoring/organising a great trackday weekend, despite lots of people caving due to the unsettled weather. You know who you are... you zeros! ;)

I wasn't the only reluctant participant on wet Friday, but I did eventually make it out on circuit. With the superbike & middleweight groups combined to give 40min open track sessions, we all limped gingerly in the corners but then I was repeatedly mugged on the straights by superior horsepower. A dry line did appear by mid/late afternoon but not wide enough for the TROUSER FIREWORK to do its stuff. Thankfully, Saturday was dry and finally we got to sample what Snetterton has to offer and I gave my NC a good ragging. A top day! 8-)

It was great to chat with more 400GB members and to spend some quality time on and off track with Michael & Florian who had ventured over from Germany. Hope the data-logging proves useful and that you guys manage to make it to Cadwell for next year.

Need some photos of us on circuit please.

I was totally gutted. couldn't make it on the Friday and had volunteered to marshal on the Saturday & Sunday. When I volunteered to marshal, we were told that we only had to marshal for the endurance sessions so I was to hoping to dash away from the marshal post and get a few sessions in but it turned out we were marshalling everything. The poor CB-1 got towed all the way to Snetterton only to sit on the bike trailer all weekend. Never mind......

I did have a wander over to the see if I could find anyone and managed to spot the bikes but not the owners.

Did anyone see the awful band on Friday? The Saturday band were good though.

Hopefully you'll all come to Cadwell Park next year which is our spiritual trackday here at 400Greybike. :-)
