Tad shorter than 6'3"..... more like 5'6"!! So we're talking 8" difference.... now depending on which gender is sizing up 8", I'd say I'd look ridiculous with a spare 8". Thanks for your kind offer - can you send me the leg length measurements - if they're around 30ish inches, they may work! Ever hopeful....

Great to see the work continuing at Mallory. I've been worried in recent years that one of my favourite circuits was being allowed to slip below the standards required for a modern track, and was likely to fade away. Also it has seemed fashionable lately to give the circuit a 'mickey mouse' tag by some riders, and its disappeared fropm the bsb calendar a couple of times, including this year.
Of course everyone regrets the excess of new chicanes, And I can't see why they had to fell the tree at the hairpin (Ollie hit the other one 100 yds earlier), but in general the improvements seem to have been positive, particularly all the new spectator banking.

Perhaps that has something to do with the plonker who owns most of the other circuits AND is the BSB organiser

Mallory has gone from the BSB calendar because it's not big enough to support the BSB circus. I'm in the paddock as a Superstock team member and we couldn't do Mallory as the paddock isn't big enough to support BSB AND all the support races. The facilities are quite poor when you consider the number of people attending, both as spectators and team members. The garages are so small as to make them a hindrance rather than a help to the larger teams and there's only one small cafe to support all those team members too.

Don't get me wrong, Cadwell Park isn't much better but MSV are putting a huge amount of money into it over the next couple of years.

It's my local circuit but I'm not upset about it's loss to the BSB calendar, especially now that Donington is back.

If I had my way, Knockhill would be off the calendar too but its the only Scotish round so it won't disappear yet. I do believe that Anglesey should be on the calendar though and I told Jonathan Palmer that when he asked me about facilities whilst I was getting drunk at Oulton Park after the last race of the season. That won't happen though as it's too close to Oulton Park (which is also owned by MSV).

I'll get me coat.
