16th July, Summer is here and work is done. The Misfits united again for No Limits 3hour Endurance at the Plush Silverstone complex. The originals were back together for the favourite old airfield circuit. For those not in the know, that’s Martin Watts, Gerry Simpson and Myself, Wing Commander Andy Booth. See what I did then? “Wing” Silverstone’s new paddock centre… Never mind ;0)
A great day was had and all went by in a haze of Jelly babies and transponder changes. We finished gaining a place from qualifying spot and knocking 2 seconds off the average lap times of the team.
Happy with that! You’re only ever as fast as the slowest rider in endurance and we’ve learnt to make the seconds count.
The Rock and Roll of BSB Weekends bounced by fast and we were back out again at Cadwell Park before we knew it; The team. Myself, Martin Watts and new signing, Karen Brown, with her R6 hit the Park ready for the Party.
The aptly named Misfits did well with all of us smashing our personal bests and gaining a place on qualifying again but most of all coming away with big smiles. Thanks to our awesome pit crew of Sam Blackmore Guy Rhodes Sophie Constancio Booth and Jamie-Leigh Brogan.
Thank you to all our sponsors, who help make it possible to fund such an expensive sport and most of all the biggest thank you to the army of Orange and Red, the Marshals and the Medics without whom there would be no race.
Next stop, Brands Hatch. 24th September.. See you there. Team to be announced…
