Default Won tickets for the British Super Bike at the end of this month

Well chuffed:

Won tickets for the Bennetts BSB competition for round 9 at Oulton Park, on the 23 – 25 September.

I get the following:
An exclusive pair of Bennetts BSB Championship tickets for the duration of the event.
A private pit lane tour on the Friday.
Plus, a narrated safety car lap with a BSB rider on the Friday.

Can't wait

Had a great 3 days.
TinTin (Stephen) put up with me and my lad for the 3 days and was a brilliant host so hats off to you and we both had a great time in your company

The racing was also very good (apart from some of the crashes today

We had a tour of the pit lanes on Friday:



Later on in the day we also got taken around the track in a car with one of the BSB riders (I have Danny Buchan and my son had Lee (Bob) Jackson driving us - forgot to take vids or pics of that

An action pic:

Great to see you both Andy, and to be part of your weekend - a far too rare chance for a catch up, hopefully not such a long gap till the next one!
