The official results sheet from the RTTC appeared through the letterbox today and it looks like the organisers have made some changes.

One of my missing laps has been reinstated so my overall position is now 17th and my mileage is now 425.84 (685.32 kilometres). If they’d counted the other one it would have been 10th place with around 445mi. This would have got me the national record… in 1935! 🙂

Once more I’d like to thank everyone involved and I look forward to having a go at the Mersey Roads event next year.

Anthony, I hope I’ve supplied enough undercarriage detail for you in the previous post.
