Thanks to those who corrected my mis-info re. start time. Another thing had me confused, UK/USA have different dates for "daylight saving time"
I thoroughly enjoyed that race, I was thinking with pit stops that it might break riders up but the battle raged at the front throughout. Loved the slipstreaming on the banked corners, rarely do I see a boring 600SSport race.
I got the chance to speak with Neil Hodgson at Goodwood Festival of Speed, and I told him how he banged it up the inside of somebody on the chicane from the banking, when he was in AMA. He told me quite enthusiastically that the banking was, "flipping scary," which he repeated, had there not been women and kids around. Apparently, the bike squats in the banked turns because of the g-force they generate. Neil was my number one rider for years, straight to the point and a damn hard racer. A friend of mine calls him Burnley's answer to David Beckham.
