Having a run round Cadwell with a coaching client, it might be a tad chilly but so far it's stayed dry for my last UK track day this year.

Managed a win for Graham, good end to the season. Had a nice four second lead at the end of first lap then lost it all when spending quite a lot of time and nearly crashing out on the grass at Graham Hill bend. Managed to hang on to the lead though and keep Dave Heal at bay who came 2nd in his first ICGP outing.

Did yesterday on the standard engine, it ran find but we were some 9mph down on Simmo's bike. Graham wanted more speed so a motor swap was done this morning. We were really late out on track for our long track practice tonight almost dark at 17.35hr. Lasted 4 laps before it seized; back on the bench and there is now the stench of midnight oil burning...

Perhaps should have put a fresh tyre on.

It was a bit difficult to keep up Chris who won and Simmo in 2nd but we are happy with 3rd as at least the bike kept going... Practice for the full circuit tomorrow and the second race on Sunday.

Going to be a hot one!

Well Simmo is on pole and I am next up with a 51.956. Then the order is Bishop, Bertin, and Heal within another second behind me. Race is at 16.15.

Fast and furious.

Do not ever think classic racing is easy. Here at Brands today there is some real quality talent on track. My clutch is slipping due to a small leak from behind the seal. First session sees me 3rd behind Simmo on pole then Chris Bishop with Heal, Hart, Bertin and Carter. Next out at 13.20 check out live timing at www.tsl-timing.com

Back at Castle Combe; here today with 'The Bike Experience' - just doing a bit of car park work to make sure everyone is confident and up to speed before we get out on track this afternoon.

What another gorgeous day at Cadwell. I've coached my client before when he was Suzuki mounted; he's recently changed to a Kawasaki ZX10, and poor old 'Frank' really has his work cut out today.
