EOSM Raffle / BSB Finals (long)

I am generally someone who doesn't win anything, so winning the tickets to
the BSB in the EOSM Raffle was a major surprise.

My lad and me trekked up to Donnington early yesterday, arriving at 08:00.
As the hospitality suite didn't open unit 09:00 we had a brew, and wandered
around the paddock. Much execllent machinery was viewed, but we had to keep
on our toes to avoid being run over by speeding pit bikes.

The hospitality suite was in a superb location giving a good view right
across the circuit, and there was plenty to eat and drink.

The racing was bloody excellent, my only real previous experience of motor
sport was formula one, which is a bit, well, boring. Both my lad and I are
now of the opinion that bike racing rocks a fat one, and a track day must be
done at some stage.

Anyway, quick review of the racing as follows:
Superbikes - bloody quick, HM Plant Honda's seem unbeatable
R6 Cup - Racing was really good, but post race burn outs even better
Super Stocks - Again, very quick, much kneed down action.
125's - Very entertaining, sounded like a friday night on the Bicester ring
road, I kept looking for flapping L Plates.

All in all a very enjoyable day (a bit cold though), would definitely
recommend.
