Great days racing, and I mean great, there where pretty much no runaway's....all hard fought...2 bikes caught fire...the Lewis Bro's Penda (CR125 motor in a 74 Penton [KTM] frame...he was leading as well...then the big CCM went out in support (typical pommy bike...one out, all out...bloody unions)....the CCM was a big one as it was almost the farthest position it could have been away from help.....Being on the entry/exit today I got a good idea what not to buy...lots of retirements....Maico's lived up to there name [Maico breako]..... Honda= Honda goes, Honda blows [a few CR125's have had replacement motors fitted LOL].....CCM stands for shitbox [not many finished more than a couple of laps]....those 4 stroke hybrids [mostly Honda engines in better frames]= shitbox's as well. One guy blew both bikes up in there first races so handed his transponders back and was on the way home by mid morning. The heat was definitely taking it's toll and there are a lot of young guns out there pushing the limits. There's couple of very quick girls circulating touching up the boys as well. Tomorrow will be interesting. The longer duration races really sort out the good bikes from the not so good prepared ones. It truly amazes me how many bikes fronted scrutineering that looked like they haven't been washed for 2 years....some people have no pride.
