Me & Jolly travelled down on Saturday morning with beer & tent, weather was rain showers then sunshine all day, firstly we met with Gary Jamison and his crew, then Victor Gilmore and then we visited Indi#23. He was very pleased to see us and told me he was very much looking forward to racing, he said he loved the track and the jumps!! But he hoped it would be dry weather.

Then around 5.30pm or so tragedy struck once more, I couldn´t believe that another rider had lost his life inside one week, I was sure that the racing would be abandoned and thought about packing up and heading for home, but then we decided to stay and have some beers with Gary Jamison & the boys.Then about 11.30pm the organisors announced that racing would go ahead. 

Next morning was lovely sunshine, so we made our way to the big jumps before start & finish, never been at them before so it was a shock to see Michael Dunlop landing sideways at over 160mph every lap. It is fantastic place to watch.

When Indi came round leading the 600 B race I couldnt believe it, he rode brilliantly, so smooth over the jumps and when he came round after winning, he was standing on the footrests waving to the spectators, everyone was cheering and clapping, it was fantastic. When Indi was getting his trophy everyone went wild clapping cheering it was great atmospherehe is getting very popular over here with fans. He told me that he and AIR are planning to compete at Horice next year, so that will be some weekend. Indi is looking forward to Armoy because it will be new track for everyone and he will not be at a disadvantage.

Next race for me is Mid Antrim so roll on August 1st  thats my race report done so chow for now mate.
