Cadwell Bsb

[Sidecar Man]

Anyone off to sunny Louth this weekend for BSB?

[trevalvole]

No, unfortunately not. However I see that Quest have live coverage of Sunday's races.

[slopes]

I need to see if i can get Quest and record it, Cadwell is a bit like the Monaco F1 race, one i always watch every year without fail - although not so much the Monaco procession anymore.

So what is on Eurosport that measn nothing can be shown on the channel it's supposed to be on?

I hope they show Toprak having a ride round! See if he can beat my 1m38s on an SV650!

Looks like it is on Eurosport (Lycra is on 1 and Leather is on 2) it’s being put on as an extra treat for those who don’t have Eurosport. I’ve apparently got Quest HD and cannot be bothered to throw more money at Eurosport for their HD so it’s a bonus for me.

Why if you’re a Quest only viewer would you only want to watch half the weekend’s action before going back to Wheeler Dealer repeats on Bank Hol Monday is anyone’s guess? It’s all a bit messy.

Gawd knows what Discovery are planning for 2023 though - we’ll be reduced to an App or something.

1.38s would put you 2 seconds faster than anyone racing minitwins there, at least with NGRRC, if its true you should be racing.

Wow yeah just looked only ½ second off Bemsee Lap record.
Thought they'd be slightly quicker as I did a 1.40.03 on my zxr400 in 2009 with Derby Phoenix. Richie Welsh and Paul Elleker were doing 39,s and I just couldn't quite get in the 39,s

[GYTRDave]

Anything sub 1:40 on minitwin is flying around there for sure, no slicks of course racing the minitwins though, but even then, 1.38s is silly quick.
Quick for 400s top bud, although I'm used to them hammering past me while racing the Bandit 😂

It was racing with Bemsee Minitwins back in 2005/6 on transponders obviously and yes it was using the chicane back then.

At the time NG was not competitive to put it mildly & the very few who did both were unable to break into top 15 in Bemsee could podium at NG. For some reason club & MRO we’re very similar times until Dave & Bernie split us forcing me into MRO when I could least afford it.

Anyway flippant comment and all that. I’m middle aged and physically broken now and occasionally wobble around on an old R1 on trackdays struggling to get near times I did with half the power.

My Aim for the weekend is try and get in the 34,s. But will see how the drivers feeling.

I’ll be there this weekend. It’s my favourite round of the year.

[Tango13]

I'm working on the Monday but I might pop up on the Sunday for qualifying and half a days racing.

Sidecarman, what's your race number on the outfit?

1. 70 Hannafin contractors

Got a big silver lorry normally parked on left

[Krikkit]

Good luck! Was there yesterday on a trackday and it was absolutely sopping wet all day, thankfully the weather looks better for the weekend, but take care on the grass.

[poo at Paul's]

3 of us were heading up today in the motorhome, but sadly two of us picked up Covid last week and are still suffering a bit. Too ill to go camping thats for sure.

That was a brutal crash for the cameras to catch live, good to hear he's conscious and not too badly injured.

Heard they are waiting for air med so not brilliant news.

They just said he's up waving at the crowd and only using the helicopter because it's more comfortable plus there surrounded by a semi circle of cities/large towns so opens up options.

re Dan Jones - Fortunately, these showed that there was no head or other injury requiring operation, only a fractured collar bone and concussion. He is being kept in hospital for further observation.
