MGP2023 ‘Jurby Day’

[Andy J]

Mixture of races and parade laps at Jurby today, and Rune and I dodged the rain as best as possible to help entertain the crowds.
I was on the ex-Baines’ Racer and Rune on his 650 Formula.
We both had a fun time despite the weather not behaving itself.
I was in the combined Classic Superbike and twins race, which was fortunately held in some of the better conditions, and was pleased to knock 5 seconds off my qualifying time, but still too slow to challenge the front runners. At least things are moving in the right direction with the bike though.
Rune had 3 ‘parade’ sessions, the first two in dry, the third in damp conditions. He got a good mention by the commentator who complimented his riding.

Say gedday to Rune for me, it looks like he is enjoying a nice wet summer there instead of the record wet summer here

Watched the ITV4 second highlights programme last night on the Classic TT as they call it rather than the MGP.
I was on screen for about a nanosecond at the start of my race, and Rune and I for about the same amount of time from an onboard shot as we watched the Classic Superbike race.
However, ‘Keef’ McKay’s Jarama got a much bigger airing as the camera dwelt on his tank for several seconds.
