Excellent results. There is not a huge gap in best times betwen you and 3rd place. Reckon that guy's got a target on his back now. :)

Yeah he is in my sights alright. But its a fair bit of time I need to make up, & the skill just aint there anymore, [I dont think.]
I might scratch a few more 10ths out of my times, but I doubt theres 2 seconds in me. :hissy

I took my Ducati out for a track day on Sat and 'unofficial' timing had me going about 5 seconds slower than the last outing on the Yamaha!! I gotta lot of work to do. :)

Some of the QLD New Era guys are going down to OP for the St George round in 2 weeks. The same weekend is RD2 of the QLD Championships which I will do on the YZF. The good news for me is that some of the competition will not be here. The bad news is that I'll still get my arse kicked :)

Might be a bit of don't want to bin my Ducati in that Mike? They apparently take some getting your head around to go quick on them :)

Just remember Mr Butler, a minute is made out of tenths. It always amazes me how you find it as well. Time on the bike is probably the most important.

Let the speed come to you, and it will. Cheers. :)

Yep you are right spook, time in the saddle is what I need. But to do that you need time & money, both if which Im short of at the moment..
Next year will be worse too. We only have 2 EC rounds, & the rest are Wakefield, with another at Brordford. So it looks like I'll maybe do the 2 at the creek & possably 1 at Wakefield. :sad
