    Quick show of hands - who fancies doing the Pirelli nationals at PI this year?

    Double entering makes it all worthwhile. Without it, the track time is a bit limited. I'm out for this year, but hopefully next year I'll be able to go again. I enjoy this event!

    Unfortunately the regs for my class require Pirelli DOT tyres so normally SuperCorsas but in the wet .... might as well be a slick so I'm trying Rosso IIIs

    Plenty of time for it to change but wouldn't be PI without at least one wet race - bring it on!

    I don't mind a wet PI. There is a tonne of grip still and the smooth style of flowing corners suits the smoothness you need for wet riding.
    Hope you have a blast!

    Totally agree, keep it smooth whilst those around you crash their brains out! Reminds me of St George last year when so many peeps crashed they abandoned the race. Even though it was past 2/3rds distance Jan refused to give those that finished any points!!!! Good old St George, make it up as you go along!

    What carnage in the Sunday Superbikes ... many DEAD bikes

    Me


    Saturday at the Island - epic race

    Sunday at the Island ... a day of regret/failure

    Ok Saturday was OK Last F5 in the 1st leg after getting into a bit of a battle with Rob on the 748.

    Second leg Saturday was FANTASTIC all 4 F5 bikes dualing and for the first few laps maybe 50M spread (Video coming) the Frank N'Cati was leading on the last lap into MG when the Linden forgot where to brake and TMA snuck through (he did the same to Dean on Sunday)

    Saturday night I though I try slipping the new forks through and trying that in warmup

    BUT it pissed down so missed warmup (and forgot the change)

    Leg 3 Sunday was wet and the I when out on Rat Bear 696 with a Rosso III front BUT missed the start and waited 2 Min at Pit exit. Passed TMA and was closing on Dean but ran out of laps - note to self don't send wave the guy on wets out before you when you know they have NEVER raced in the rain

    Leg 4 - the suspension change bit hard dropped 11sec (other guys only down 2-3) and finished lapped and dead last ... needed to make multiple apexs at Honda and MG as front end kept tucking

    So from leading F5 to around 13 points behind TMA and 1or 2 off Dean
