I reckon we had a couple of hundred people there today easy . Loads and loads of locals trying it out for the first time and having much fun. Also loads of racers came along to check it out before next weeks regional.

Thank you to everyone who came and I hope you all enjoyed themselves.

Roll on next sunday for the big one

Thanks for a really great day ... Chloe and Nicholas think the track is excellent!!! (although Nicholas will bring a milk crate next week so he can get on the start grid

). It was very well organised today, and I hope you get lots of those locals coming back to join your club

Top day today.

Looking forward to next Sunday's regional race.

I was talking to Billy, Spillers and a couple of other 40-plussers and we might race 2 classes next week for the extra practice

Cheers mike for donating the case of relentless for the fastest lap. No surprise that Lewis Lacey won with a 38.'sec lap

That lad has to much skill.

The weather today was quite amazing especially when I got home to find that just 50 miles away it was overcast all day. I reckon Russ's estimate of numbers was a bit mean with more like 300 riders, parents, grandparents plus all the local councillors and the delightful Kaddy Lee Preston. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves albeit we had a visit from the local ambulance service twice throughout the day. We had a few races for all manner of mixed groups including some of the councillors and the local community copper, who won the race on my WTP cruiser (the first and probably last time the bike will ever be first over the finish line). Big thanks to everyone who made it all happen especially RussP who was run ragged by it all and we're just waiting now for good weather next Sunday and loads of help. Humps

My pleasure, Russ. LL was Cool J to watch. So fast and smooth and his line down the second to last straight was amazing (had to be seen to be believed).

Humps, Kaddy came third on your cruiser behind my Josh and another kid

Josh loved the track (despite his crash on the last straight) and told his mum he was the first ever winner of a race at Herne Bay

I thought I heard talk of old schoolers racing 2 classes, wondered if anyone was gonna try it?

It killed me when I tried it at BADBMX, but would still think about it again. (Dunno about here though.....)

Anyway - who's coming?

Come on Paul you know better than that. Old Schoolers "talk". But racing two classes. Hah.

Most of them would be gasping for a fag after the first moto and would be just rolling around for the second one.
