Jesus, what a washout. I've got trench foot and the missus has got hypothermia. Yesterday was cracking compared to the forecast. We should have known with the forecast for today being better, that the forecasters would have got it completely wrong. Talk about "challenging" weather. There weren't many positives that I can draw from it. Is IS still supposed to be summer isn't it?

I was, and it was very light drizzle when I left so I was in leathers Neutral

Got bloody drenched and felt pretty rough earlier, wouldn't surprise me if it was hypothermia. Hung my leathers up to dry and there was actually a puddle underneath it about 10 mins later, I've ended up putting a little bucket underneath it.

Can i say WTF.

Why were they racing with oil on the track?
Rain...to be expected.

Rutter was right. They should have the organisers at Lodge so they can catch them.

Complete tosspots allowing 1 BSB and the support races with oil on circuit.

Cheers HT. The full set's here https://on.fb.me/qszgRa if you're interested. That one's probably the best of the lot, really nailed it at Lodge Corner, touch easier 'cos they're a bit slower just before getting on the gas, and the sun was out on Saturday, so the light was good. Got some nice ones of Hopper, Kiyo and Josh Brookes too...
