Well done Gary, great result. I was up there for the first run and it was great to see the slim fitting 795 jersey in amongst all the baggies! Rudolf was up there a bit later - check out his report and photos here

Thanks guys, had a great weekend, the track was brilliant, every run i did i had a massive grin on my face at the bottom
, weather was a bit crap with a good bit of rain on Sat so the track was a bit slippy but it dried out a good bit today so the pace got quicker, i'm happy as a pig in the you know what
, also my 2nd today gave me a 3rd place in the championship so i'm double happy
.
Thanks to everyone who came along to give some support today too, it was nice to see some 795 guys there, special thanks to Rudolf for the photos and the report (and the hotdog and coffee after) my shout next time, roll on the nationals.

Fair play Gary, wonderful result. Nice to see the Racing jersey in full flight. Thanks David for confirming my concern for full body armour with that photo. Bone breaking stuff
