North West 200 2017

[dufunk]

Heading down to the practise tomorrow seeing the weather is good, can you get in around the pits at practise or do you still need passes?

Perfect conditions all this week which is great to see.

 

[Apis]

Both. The public can enter but you need to buy a pass.

Incredible shots from Pacemaker of Chris Dixon's spill

 

[dufunk]

Great day yesterday got a bad burning, every bit as good as being away foreign on days like that down there.

Anywhere do bets on the NW??

Anywhere do bets on the NW??

I think McCleans and Paddy Power take bets on it.

Heading up tomorrow straight after work. No bike this year though

 

[dh1079]

No bike myself but still worth the trip

Same old thing with the Press re Chris Dixon's spill

Only the really violent crashes get all the publicity. No wonder the general public, who only see this thing in the press, say it is too dangerous and should be banned.

 

[yvo6]

Woo Hooo off to NW tomorrow. Didnt think i could get the day off.

Early start and probably a roasted head by tomorrow night. Will have a look for my Catwoman hat.

I will slather the suncream on the bake and arms tho.

Michael Dunlop tries Rossi-style foot down approach at North West 200 practice

He will have a right lol when others try that.

I was behind a newcomer at first practice at Easter race meeting and he kept doing this - it was a right PIA because normally when someone drops a leg out - it is to signal there is a problem or they are off the gas.

 

[Apis]

Hadn't seen the leg thing much on the roads but common on the circuits. It all adds to the spectacle I suppose. Maybe we'll see more backing in and sliding out too.

 

[DriftnSlide]

Heading up first thing this morning before roads close.. Hopefully a night in the Anchor.

 

[Cess]

Is there an actual race time table for tonight, or am I being blind? Can't seem to find it on the website.
