What a great day of bike racing. Practice till 15:00, when the roads re-opened, then 3 races from 17:00, Supersport, Superstock and Supertwin. All very good races and action packed. Superstock finish was brilliant.
The screen opposite the grandstand took some getting used to, as it was about 10 seconds behind real time, so as they went through the start on screen, they were actually coming into view and bearing down towards the York hairpin.
We decided to stay put in the grandstand all day. It was a beautiful day and as a result my head looks like a tomato! Doh! Stands are free if you already have a seat booked for Saturday but if not, a tenner. Unfortunately for a lot of people, they paid only to find no seats, as they clearly weren't keeping tabs on how many people had gone in. Mind you, some people only stayed a short while. I would have asked for my tenner back if I'd had to sit on the steps like some were.
Tomorrow is another rest day. We'll be heading to Derry, so more then.
