BMCRC Pembrey

Another British Motorcycle Racing Club outing, this time on the Bank Holiday weekend at Pembrey in Carmarthenshire, South Wales.

We turned up on the Friday early morning for the practice day which turned out to be a good move.  The engine was spitting out water and overheating so at least we had a lazy day to fix it before the weekend’s racing.

Saturday yielded a couple of very good races earning Wes another signature on his ACU licence.

Sunday morning, another good race and another signature.  The afternoon was a disaster with the outfit sporting a flat rear tyre as it took off from the start line.  The race was quickly canned and we watched the remainder before heading home.

I headed to Verwood in Dorset where I knew the Rascal Enthusiasts would be.  Some had gone home earlier in the day but a few remained.  After a couple of cans and pillaging the remains of the BBQ, I had an early night turning in about 10.00.

Monday morning everyone was up at 6AM for a 7AM exit, at least we got to beat the Bank Holiday traffic 🙂

Not much else planned in May, we have another race at Oulton Park in Cheshire for the next Bank Holiday.  It’s on a Monday and Tuesday so a bit of a rare one.  There is talk we may hit Donnington for some racing on the Saturday and make the whole thing a four day job.

Between now and then I need to get a new differential, do some welding, replace the seats and sort out a leak on the inlet manifold.  Oh, and an MoT as well.  Lucky I’m not going anywhere for the next few weekends 🙂
