Scottish Oldschool Summer 2009 Series

[kennyhunter6061]

The only alternative to running a race on Saturday 25th July is to just cancel it and make one of the rounds in August a double header, possibly the last round?  And in future no outside agencies will be allowed to use out track on a Sunday 

Cancelling our race on 25th would have course allow us to go on another road trip to the next round of the North Regionals at Manchester    Just a thought......

[Rab-Lambie]

Davey
Brett
me
and maybe Rab.

Thats not bad with all the old schoolers showing up you should have early retirement in your sights soon 

[kevin rettie]

Thought I should update my file from bitd... read 'em and weep Kenny 

name : Kevin Rettie
First bike:- Team Murray (the one with the heavy as fook mags)
last bike:- Progressed onto a Mongoose Californian then finally my Harry Leary Turbo (which i still have) 
NS bike:- I am resisting keeping up with the Joneses..... Would love a NS GHP (always wanted on bitd)
OS gearing run :- 45/16, I could never spin 42s and 43s like the Steve Fraser
started racing around :- 1984
finished racing around :- 1987(ish) Sad that I can't even remember making the decision to stop or what race was my last!

Best Rankings:-
National Rank : No 3 in 14 y/o in 1985, No 1 in 15 y/o in 1986, No 1 in 16 y/o in 1987. 
Regional Rank : Similar to national ranking except one year where I slipped to 3rd  not happy!

fav moment(s):-
Racing all over the Scotland and England. Racing the Worlds in Slough and Orlando. Travelling to Nationals in the North of england with Steve and Mike Fraser in their bashed up Sherpa Van in 1987 (?). Getting blootered the night before travelling to Englandshire with the Fasers in their bashed up Sherpa van.... Racing the Champion of Champions at Tamworth I think in '86, getting a great gate behind Dean Idiols thinking 'this is it' and falling at the second Berm only to come in last and missing out on a nice big trophy:knuppel2:. Sessioning the camels and triples at Nairn on a race day in practice, in fact everything about racing at Nairn. Loads of great memories and loads of good friends made - hope they all turn up on a website or to Clydebank soon! The feeling of jumping a set of doubles - its the same now as it was back then, you can't beat that feeling 

first track raced :- Granton on Spey
fav track :- Nairn, Tamworth and quite liked Musselburgh
worst track :- Blairgowrie

[MarkMcPake]

Kevin,

The track in Tamworth was that the one with two start hills? think I remember going to that one.

Memories are coming back

[Rab-Lambie]

just bought masel some body armour 661 mainly for the 1st weekend at Fortwilliam but think I'll start using it down a C-bank guys especially if Rabs next to me on a jump....

Rab have you looked at backflips yet??

  missed that steven...  dont worry mate, jumping next to me is safe, im a dead cert to go down forst so landing on me cushions the blow!
who needs body armour when you have me to land on? 

not sure the exact 661 armour you got but mine is all 661 too and its really good... was messing about on thursday and took 3 daft falls. one left me having sex with my bike at the bottom of the table top. honestly say i never felt a thing! (maybe that was due to the lube on my arse) even though i did scuff the hell out the armour at the elbows, not a scratch on me.

now that said, and this is classic me... in the whole history of biking i never broke a bone. yet broke my foot and ankle in the daftest of wee topples in school and at work. no handers no leggers at 100mph and not a scratch and i go break my ankle in a high heel... (only at the weekend lads!)
anyway... my knee often pops out at the gym or out and about... i dont feel it ridng just walking. but ive been crippled all week. knee in brace as i type. better be fixed for thursday or am gonna have to chop the fecker off and get on with it!  seriosuly doing my head in as i need as much practice as i can get or ill never make the olympics...  ahem... i mean the brits!  ok... maybe the B-Final in at clyde bank! 

ok here is the final names list n no articular order. please check spelling as they go in as shown.
the colour is stated next to each.
there will be 4 of each at .5 inch high in bold text. (2 for frame & 2 for helmet, each side)

[stevj]

here's my BITD got 10mins to spare;

first race; open at Grantown on Spey borrowed bro's Huffy 84' then bought Pete Scotts nickel plated Goose the following week,  which is now buried in a garden in Forres

1985 won my first scottish national at Irvine on a Skyway TA ended 4th that year in scotland 15's

1986 got a JMC Daryl Young won a few that year came 1st in Scotland 16's and made the  World Slough quarters to be taken out by Darren wood on 3rd turn.

1987 got my zeronine proxl (which I still race) went to the world masters in France with Ian Archibald, Gary Macrae and a young Mr Hoy got taken out on last berm in the semi's lyin 3rd by Hoogedoorn (7ft dutch feker). Indoor track on carpet amazingoh and bringing Paris Charles de Gauld airport to a standstill while they defused my suitcase long story left it unattended. Came 2nd in Scottish that year crashing at Livi not good. Europeens where memorable as I recall never did make Amsterdam met some birds the night before blah blah blah.

1988 superclass bit of a blur now but memory says I won a few that year regaining a no1 racing my zeronine proxl in that pink purple Revcore outfit. Think it was the trips to Englandshire at weekends with dads old blue sherpa (Rettie's, Dollier, Beefy, Geordie, Kev Dick, Mike, Graham Campbell, Bud Ralph, Sandy "wobble" and more) memorable road trips REDCAR who got lost on Saturday night? Whitehaven the 4 storey house we took over, Tamworth great track Kev but Redcar felt better, Wigan for the doubles oh so many doubles, Dollier no holding his drink and pukin out the back doors at 4am on the A9 traveling south, Chesterfield where everyone bought bodyarmour, Studying for o grades and highers in the van on the way down and on the way back, Derbyand all the B&B's me mum booked and looked after us 

1989 like Kev i gave up that year the fun had gone fed up with adult politics and thought I better get a job...

Gearing in the day was 42/16  43/16 45/17 depending on the track but mainly 42/16 now running 42/14

Favourite tracks
Nairn - hometown lived it breathed it night racing was fun pitch dark
Wigan - doubles everywhere and big
Redcar - fast track
Chesterfield - for speed

favourite jump
Wigan - second straight 2 large doubles when you nailed them they were sweet and fast

Favourite moment
sitting on the gate at the world masters in south of france january 87 sunny and back home had snow.

Funniest moment
any time we all piled in to the blue van to go south was carnage thank god "you tube" wasn't round then 

Worst track
there were none you just looked forward to ridin something someone else built each weekend.

Now just enjoying reliving my youth each sunday when I can and enjoying ma boy tryin to do the same. Also the banter and the old faces the crack is there as it was in 84 when I went to Grantown that day. Keep the thing alive guys and keep it fun....

Results for R5 of the Summer Series.  A bit of a low turnout in Oldschool.  Ian was riding 17+ on his new Ripper XLP as well as Cruiser on his old Elf, David Lindsay had defected to the North Series  , Colin was working, Paul had a 'do', Scott was having a chillout day and did commentating, and Mike was just out hospital so him and Steven were also absent.  Despite this there were more new faces in all the other classes so we had a really good turnout.  The track may have been a bit damp to start with but it didn't slow down the racing which was pretty damn hot.  Some tough racing with everyone really upping their game, which is great to see.  Hopefully we'll see some videos soon (Stevo???  )
