Put it this way mike............i'm f**kin knackered it was another really hard day

3 gates 23 riders

and everyone as fast as hell

the final was won by the fastest man i have ever seen on a cruiser who also not only clears the himalayas but does it with a good old fashion look back

t.j.baldwin i think he was called ?

Sounds ace. Sorry I missed it. Had to make a few concessions as I've been riding a lot lately and I'm off to France for a week next Monday.

Tony Baldwin's gonna clean up if he races the nat's this year, he was awesome..

spillers#1 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 17, 2008, 08:21 PM »

But not in 40+ thank f**k

wolfybmx · « **Reply #7 on:** February 17, 2008, 08:29 PM »

yes he's got another 5 years to go yet

billstup · « **Reply #8 on:** February 17, 2008, 08:52 PM »

He reminded me of Mark White, he looked a lot older than he was, but fook me he was fast, and could jump too

Last in the b final for me, not a great day on the track, but a great day overall as I got to meet a few people I hadn`t seen for 20 years

T J BALDWIN · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2008, 09:20 PM »

Yes a great day and agood turn out . Well done to everyone who helped run it .

Just in case you're wondering what they mean by 'he could jump too', try this from one of his motos (2nd or 3rd)

More photos to follow soon.

spillers#1 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2008, 09:28 PM »

team tango dont do the himalayas remember tony,, you missed it in the summer series remember,, something about washing your hair

RATTY · « **Reply #15 on:** February 17, 2008, 11:24 PM »

I missed that race because of a domestic dispute, one of the reasons I am with Nikki now

Thanks to my assistant photographer Jasmine

for some of them.

I'll do the Big Air ones tomorrow. Need some sleep now.

That pic of TJB says it all last time my jaw dropped liked that watching a race was at poole in the mid 80's watchin Gary Llewellyn !!

Twinkle · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2008, 08:45 AM »

Wow you've took loads of great pics again Longun, with lots of familiar faces.

Was a shame they had 2 big race meets on in the same day. I thought with 52 weeks in the year they could share them out a bit better but unfortunately not

dialledbikes · « **Reply #19 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:12 AM »

Great pics Longun.

That TJ Baldwin fella looks rad. Thank fck he's not in our class!

Well done Phil on making the A-Final. Along with Tony Slater, Kev and Jon Moore, you're gonna be the ones that lesser riders like me will be wanting to beat (or get close to at least).

xtremepervert · « **Reply #20 on:** February 18, 2008, 04:42 PM »

Also good to see former superclass legends Russell Breach & Michael Daley after many years. Daley says he may do Old Skool shortly!

Me unhappy with not qualifying never

As my teachers
used to say must try harder.

I've got an ace pic of me and tony baldwin racing at Hounslow in 1988 when he was a skinny little nipper, his style hasn't changed a bean in twenty years, he looks in VERY good shape! I'll dig the piccy out.

Great seeing some old faces at Hayes, awesome track (well done Mr Dick), that was my first few gates for about 15 years, jeeze i'm out of shape! Great to see Andy Welsh, Darren Wood, all the old local faces too. I could get into this racing lark.......

Everyone has 'off' days mate, i was expecting to be 'following' you round in the 'B final' so was suprised to win it!
I'm sure you'll be back smokin everyone at the next race & if i get my ass in gear & actually train i might actually able to make a full lap without throwing up after, & i'll be able to mix it up with you lot!!
