Results appear to have been posted while I was browsing the site, so hot off the press, I think: Champ, 22nd in the Senior Manx GP @109.77 mph. Lap times very similar to the Junior. 82' 24.74" cf. the winner's 116.27 mph = 77' 52.85" <tap, tap> 84'15.87 for a replica IIRC, so there's his second. Keith ended up 33rd at 106.9. 84' 40.46" -- that's a miss I think. Well done, lads! -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

I seem to have miscalculated (bloody Chinese Poundland scientific calculators!). Should have been 85' 40.14" for a replica. So Keith made it, Wa-hay! -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

I seem to have miscalculated (bloody Chinese Poundland scientific calculators!)[1]. Should have been 85' 40.14" for a replica. So Keith made it, Wa-hay! [1] Further investigation showed I divided by 61 instead of 60 in converting seconds to minutes... -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

....or some clumsy-fingered **** hit the "1" button instead of the "0"...

A Chinese ****, eh? Slitty 'eyed'. Well done Champ. Didja scare yourself? Go fast. Take chances. Mike S.
Seconded. Very impressive through Keppel Gate in the Junior and Ballaspur in the Senior. I may have some very scratchy MPEG video on my digital camera, and if it is actually possible to identify the machine properly I will post a link. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Moto Guzzi Mille GT/Squire RS3 Gilera Nordwest | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+
Ta. I don't feel particularly quick through Keppel, but Ballaspur is one of my favourite bits of the course. That'd be nice. Of course, viewing it from the outside, it'll probably look much slower :-/
Cheers, Ivan. Full diary of the fortnight is on the blog I set up, at http://blog.myspace.com/nealchampion Feel a bit disorientated today - part hangover, partly the knowledge that I can't do it again for 50 weeks
No problems. I think I have to give best to you in the macho racer bragging stakes now. :-/ I'll read it when I'm a bit less "bleary-eyed"... Get on my case to come over and help next year. I woz robbed of my moment of MGP glory in the pits when Keith's bike blew up a couple of miles from the pit-stop a few years ago. Next year might be busy for me come August[1], but 2008 will be busier, I think...

OK here they are: http://www.ps-fisher.demon.co.uk/pickchurs/champ_mgp06/ Pretty crap and rather large files, but 'atmospheric'. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Moto Guzzi Mille GT/Squire RS3 Gilera Nordwest | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+
