My thoughts and conclusions

Well done to JT Smooth (again)

Well done to Hunterdubber for 2nd and MADD DOGG for 3rd.   Not bad for someone who changes his bike every meet (I should talk)

Some spectacular crashes this year but most people escaped serious injury and/or made a quick recovery.

Get well soon Dan!! 

Hopefully Glynnyboy is fully recovered and ready to race!!

We had 50 riders race OS this year.   Which is up on last year from 30 Riders in both the 2008 Summer and Winter Series.

3 Southerners managed to make it up to Crewe and put in a very decent performance - Crooch, Glen and QuadPaul

The Scots made 3 trips south of the border and put in some great performances.   They might have kicked ass at Hartlepool but their best riders raced Masters instead.

And Martain made it up to Preston!! 

Attendance

Only Phil Critchlow managed to race all 8. 

4 Riders raced 7 times
3 Riders raced 6 times
5 Riders raced 5 times
4 Riders raced 4 times
7 Riders raced 3 times
10 Riders raced 2 times
16 Riders only raced once

We had an average race Attendance of 19 Riders per Meet.    With the Highest Attendance being the OS Grands at Preston with 31 Riders and the Lowest at Manchester with 11 Riders.

We had a good influx of newbie riders so hopefully this will continue into the cold dark Winter Series.

The standard of racing is improving.  I've had some good performances.  Andyrooski and 45GT have steadily improved.   JD_76 looks like the find of the series.  His go for broke style reminds me of a young Hunterdubber!! 

All in all, a great series.  I've really enjoyed it.  Some great racing.  Excellent craic and friendly atmosphere. 

Hopefully the upcoming winter series will continue the trend.

If there are any newbies out there who want to have a dabble at OS racing then dont wait.  Your not getting any younger ya know.   

There are plenty of lads on here willing to help you out and show you the ropes.   

The atmosphere at these meets is friendly and no one will take the pee out of your riding ability.   Everyone has to start from somewhere.  I know because I started from rock bottom and I'm still scurrying in the undergrowth.

All regions are welcome to races any of our meets.   I know there are a few Welsh Riders out there.  So try and make Crewe, Manchester, Coppull or Preston which shouldn't be too bad for travelling.   The same goes for any Midland, Southern and Scottish riders.  The more the merrier.

Roll on the Winter Series!!

well done boys, and well done Moley for as usual a fantastic job.

Our Stealth Assault on Crewe is still my weekend of the year, fantastic weekend, great meeting you guys and beating most of ya ha ha.....  just let us know if you fancy a trip down south so we can wipe the cobwebs off the rest of the southern Old schoolers and get em out for racing...(otherwise it dont happen - SOSS - RIP)

We'll be up north again next year for another one im sure...  not sure which one though.... 

[Cotty]

my conclusion is that the old man doesnt get on with his missus and thats why he has been to every race

Anyone know of any club races at Lytham, preston, h-pool before the winter series kicks off?

[OrgasmDonor]

[Peter J]

Yep well done all and big thanks to Moley for all he does 

Missed the last half of the year due to splitting up with the misses, looking after my 2 year old daughter full time, selling my business and getting a job  .....women and work eh get in the way of the important stuff 

Hope to be back in the mix for the winter series now life is getting back to normal 

I only made a couple of races but for all of you thinking of giving it a go my advise is go for it everyone makes you feel welcome................

No BCF Membership of any kind needed for Winter Regionals.

Just turn up and pay to race!!

So no lame excuses!!

And maybe we can work out some Car pooling to spread the cost too!!

I'll put up a thread for Rnd 1 at Preston after the Scottish Championships this weekend!!
