Does anyone know what happened to Robin and Annette in the first race. They don't seem to be on the results.

They didn't qualify but their names were mentioned in the list of starters on Manx Radio, what that was all about I don't know, I was looking for them on the updates.

Thanks. That's such a shame. I think they had been looking forward to it.

Robin and Annette set themselves some targets. To have their entry accepted (done), to start practice (done) and to achieve a 90mph lap...DONE!
They can go out again on Monday night and see if they can qualify, and, if they do they can race on Wednesday. Don't know wehat qualifying was, but good luck! :D

Work on the bike has never stopped. Robin and Annette made a massive leap in speed through the Sulby speed trap, from 109.5 mph on Thursday to 132.4mph :shock: on Friday.........mainly because we moved his braking point marker nearer to Sulby Bridge without telling him ;) . The bike is just not pulling up the Mountain but we are hoping for better performance after fitting a new fuel pump and rubbing anti-arthritis cream into Robin's throttle hand. Robin is nearly behaving himself too as Annette has only had tap him gently in the middle of his back with her clenched fist a couple of times so far :roll: . Both enjoyed the laps on Friday, the first time Robin has had a smile on his face when finishing practice. :D :D

Tell her not to hit him for one lap and they will qualify. Then she can hit him as much as she wants on Wednesday :D

Still don't know Bob. They're very very close to the time we roughly worked out.
93.33mph, 24m15 - almost a minute fast than their last week's best.
