Morning all from Northampton. Bit of info: Pit area has a few large puddles around but i've seen worse. The field for parking is'nt too bad at the moment although it is quite soft in places. Terracing all ok and the track looks wet obviously, but hopefully after some racing laps it will settle down to a good surface. Best of all it's a gloriously sunny day, so get yourselves here folks 👍

It was 2/3rds Kingpin 👍

Cheers Hary

linky's right Will. Paul has bought it. He went down to the Yarrow team's HQ to get it as it was raced by 22 in the WF meeting.

Cheers 0s0. Good to know for the future. It's not normally a problem at Sheffield. It seemed to become intermittent when there was a slight drizzle in the atmosphere. Very strange.
