Come on then, who's it to be this year:
Will Neil Gaunt get the top stop back?
Will Tony Calvert maintain his domination?
Can Carlos Casas finally get the win he richly deserves?
Who are this year's dark horses?
Will one hipflask make it through the weekend or will I need two?
Will Big John get lost on Blackwater again?
Come on then .... thoughts

Be schizophrenic, you'll never be alone.
You are the one who is blind and connot see the truth in the world. You live sheltered in a monastry of your hate, and cannot admire beauty and truth while I snort the cocaine of excellence and bang the hooker of awesomeness. - Wonderlance

Hi Guy's .
Well I have been keeping an eye on the form, and my prodiction is that Chris Gascoigne on his 350? Ariel will win by one mark . Beat that then.
Regard's Charlie.

I know who is NOT winning Slapshot. Me - number 10. Maybe second with a little luck....???
From Spain keep an eye in Jose Buixo -Nš 24 he was a Mecatecno factory rider, and now with a couple of years experience in the race. If his BSA does not fail....
For the newcomers Bertrand Martinez-Peņalver - 141 racing with a 500 Enfield that knows whatīs like winning in Scotland also newcomer Migui Garcia-Cuesta - 143 raced 6 or 7 times in a row in the 80īs SSDT, now with a BSA.

Can't remember mate I was lost as well...
Moffat, Cruz, Delaney in that order....
...sorry boys couldn't resist...(though that's probably the order they'll get to my hipflask).I think Tony Calvert will take the win again closely followed by Carlos and Neil. As to the Scottish riders (it's important for some of us..) Alan Crayk, Les Winthrop and Murray Whittaker in the mix there. Both Murray and Les have been in the top ten in the last couple of years

Let us not forget Mick who might be able to hang onto the bars now after his surgery. I'm sure he will be pretty determined as it is the Silver Jubilee.
As for Lingo 75........ when the cry goes out "All Trials Riders that can't TAP DANCE are QUEER" you will be able to recognize the non dancers and avoid them like the plague!
