Shakedown Event

This year's Shakedown event began with a rather wet morning which cleared up just before we started. The rain was replaced by a strong cold wind which whistled across the airfield.

The club flight officer allocated us a good mile of runway in which to run the regularity event and try out for a number of machines which had not been fully tested on the road.

15 entrants took place in the regularity which resulted in three riders clocking a difference of 1.9 seconds between each run. The oldest machines brought the draw down to two machines manufactured in 1958, the result was finally determined by the oldest rider, this year going to Brian Wood, the runner up being Phil Cooper.
