With a fair wind behind us…..
(And in every other conceivable direction)
With the weekend of June 23rd looming the usual pre race preparations were in full swing and anticipations high. Having tested the new RaceTech front suspension on one of our planned private tests we were keen to see how this translated on-track, the only additional change since the test was the addition of a GPR damper and given the weather forecast it couldnāt have been timelier.
Sunday arrived, wet and with a wind that was whipping up to gale force, the type of day when you donāt want to put a toe outside of the duvet yet alone venture to Jurby Aerodrome. Setup and scruitineering passed without issue, copious amounts of coffee and a bacon sarnie helped make it bearable and with the wind moving the clouds and a track drying we opted for an intermediate front tyre to be safe and to also test how the handling would respond with a different set of discs and tyre combination, and the answer was very good indeed!
With the International Southern 100 (S100) Road Races next month and people still requiring signatures for the TT Mountain Licenses the paddock was busy as was qualification; we qualified mid-pack keeping clear of any ātroubleā out on track (it was slippery) and like everyone else battled with the ferocious wind.
