I think An old friend of mine is racing in this - Keith Amor.

Not spoke to him for years - but he came in the top 5 last year

Back in the early 90's, he used to drive a 1.9 Pug GTi with the head skimmed & a hi lift cam in it.
I remember being in the back seat & he was drifting it round the round-a-bout at Strathclyde Park / M74 @ 70mph.....

Blokes a nutter.........

Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'

Unfortunately Keith Amor won't be racing the NW this year, he's doing some 24 hour Honda thing in Spain.
Shame, I always like to cheer on the Scotsman!

Just heard that Stuart Easton of BSB fame has been injured in practise. Not serious but broken pelvis and fingers, hopefully it won't screw up his BSB championship chances. He's been excellent to watch all season. :thumbsup

Watched the highlights of the Cookstown 100 last night. Great racing.

Inspired me to go over to the NW200 to watch on Saturday although the forecast doesn't look good. :roll: Ferry booked so I guess I'm off. :thumbsup
