Just to show that the more modern eras did not have it all their own way Dean Rowe top qualified in 'North' group on his FAST Honda CR125M '74

What is the 'North' group well the event was ran using a variation of a compass draw used in many sports to ensure that everyone has the same number of races and makes it into a final that matches their results. We had three very closely matches finals (well except for 'Chook' Cherret in the Presidents cup who had two shocker round results (DNF's) then fired on all cylinders in the final).

Congratulations to HEAVEN for producing the event to revive my moto mojo. I managed to get away from my old mums bedside enough to spend Saturday up there in cold old Gloucester. The event was an absolute blast with very little need of any change......the concept is perfect from the git go. My arthritic old knee decided to chuck a wobbly mid afternoon but that didn't detract one iota from my enjoyment. It was a hoot to catch up with old mates Slakewell, Bernie E, Pete and Jackie Yamaico, Shoey, Col Metcher and many more. Even Little Reggie Firkin had a ball despite having to wear two doggie coats to ward off the cold. I'm so glad the poor bugger who was transported off by chopper is OK and it was good to see Scrivo laughing and joking after his forks came apart in mid air on the orange Monty. It could have been much worse. The show and shine was brilliant and Mick D is right.....Pete's RD Yammy is even better in the flesh than any photo can show and thoroughly deserved to win best of show! Billy Forsyth and I are putting a piece together for VMX so stay tuned..........Apologies also to Ted for sticking him with the announcing duties. I'd promised to give him a hand but got caught up in the social interaction and then my knee carked it so I stayed in my chair. I'll make it up to you.

Just got homefrom Gloucester. What a great fun event, well worth the drive. The "round robin" format added interest and racing under lights always adds another dimension. Well done, Heaven.

Congradulations on an epic event.
Any idea on spectator numbers ?.

Three times as many as last year and half as many as next year

I think 107 racers entered, and just about everyone has way more than one bike,,,,,class
It is an event to top, simply fantastic weekend, so good to be there.

I checked out the whole joint, hard to see how they could better it, but a swap meet would certainly get some others in. And then they will be captivated by some of the best racing around. It was great to see a young local called  Mitch Kellner push two of our top fastest riders home for a very well deserved 3rd place in the Legends TT He worked hard and kept them honest(no offense fellas, but I was cheering young Mitch home. Spectacular racing, for sure. A real spectator friendly set up.
