Where were all the bike engined cars?

Post by arty cameron »

I just wanted to say a little about Thruxton on saturday : we saw a great field in the combined grid, some 32 cars but there were only 8 bike engined cars entered and from what i can see only 6 cars qualified and 2 cars finished. Where are they all!? If you have one please come out and play else we may never get our own grid again! I think im right in thinking Chris Vinalls jks has a new owner, and Steve Caves alike? I know there are loads of you out there so come on! I want some competition! :D

Absolutely right - and surely there will be one less when Chris gets his new car?

Isn't this a golden opportunity for those with bike engined cars in the garage to get them out and bag points?

It's because everyone is scared of you. They, including Chris, know they won't stand a chance once your fully up to speed!

dont be stupid tris :wink: ! thanks for the compliment but I didnt mean competition like that, there are many good drivers out there i just meant its not great having two finishers. By the way- storming drive from what Mark and my Dad saw- on the ragged edge. You came past me like i was stood still- do you have a turbo? lol :wink: Chris had terrible luck in quali and did a great job getting grom 20th to 6th, as he was under geared - i think having underestimated how long the straight is having never been there before. Im not sure what happened to Stuart but he was going well - if you see this Stu- thankyou very much for giving me two driveshafts, and a torque wrench when mine broke! top bloke.
