Yesterday, at Mildenhall in the U.K. - (there may even be some Airforce guys here who will know of the U.S. Airbase there).

I was following someone on a practice track once who attempted a whip over a table top but got his angles all wrong & landed right in a flooded ditch not too dissimilar to that!

He was ok but spent the next couple of minutes fishing the bike out, which was completely submerged.

This guy's bike's engine blew, locked up and they both slithered in! I know of at least two other rider/bike combinations who ended up in the 'wet bunkers' at this meeting yesterday. Pretty cold day, even for those not dunked in a ditch..

raced with banbury at wroxton and it hammered down while we were sat on the line.
my bike was so heavy that it took 3 people to lift it up,
it was more about survival than a race. i think 3 people finished the second race lol
