Hi Sterling, wave.gif Darley is an ex airfield circuit, 1.5 miles long, triangular with mini-chicanes on the start-finish and back straights. There is little or no run-off on the straights, only at the 3 main corners. In a nutshell, it's quick and dangerous but great for the adrenaline!! I think lap times are now under 58s, the big bangers must be hitting 145-150 mph down the main straight.

No problem Phil, will be sorted in the next couple of days. I'll fix something for Sat/Sun nights.

I'm really looking forward to meeting like-minded bike racing guys from the forum and having a good bit of banter.

Right... I know the first one, my dad, Len Lambourne #40.
Apparently the rest are, #7 Derek Head, #6 Pete Inchley, #23 E.Pitt, #12 Tony Boyes and Derek Best, Dave Nixon are in there too!
I don't know how correct that is, as I was only about 6 years old at the time! but I have it on good authority.

Hey its not all wine and boules yer know.I do miss a pint of Pedigree and being able to go to a 'decent' bike meeting every weekend without having to say'How far'.And if it was not for UK wages/pensions we would not be here.
Good weather though and nice to be able to splutter to Nogaro or Pau-Arnos on the old Arrow if theres owt worth seeing.
The Clerk of the Works makes sure I don't get too lazy as well.Thats better,the wines working now.
