Best wishes for the weekend. Unfortunately I can't be there cos I'll be on the RAT run to Barberton.
Someone told me that 11 okes have been drummed out of the brownies (booted out of the Breakfast Run class for being too fast!). Is this true?

Won't be able to get down to Phakisa either I'm afraid, but will be holding thumbs for ya Silli!
Hope you have good weather down there too.

DaveB. Yes Dave. This happens when riders average lap times become too fast - they are kicked up to Formula Xtreme.
Silli, wishing you the very best and much success. 
Ty DB and CS
So being kicked is not a bad thing then I suppose
If you're a younger rider with some talent & ambition it's a very good thing. You get promoted to Formula Xtreme and then the same thing happens there; once you become successful in that class you're then promoted to Regional Superbikes, which is the highest level of racing below National Superbikes. My good friend Erik was given a yellow card after the last race meeting at Red Star because he'd broken below his lap time bracket. That was very impressive cos it was the first time he'd ever ridden the GSXR-750. I think that if/when he gets another 3 yellow cards he'll be automatically promoted in to Formula Xtreme.
However, there is an age limit for this enforced promotion. Silli is above said age limit and the race organisers can never force promote him up to the next class! If, at some stage in the future, he decides that he's fast enough and wants to move up to the next class he can apply to do just that.

Good luck for the racing guys. Be safe and have fun.
PS. Don't rush the travelling.

Thanks for the explanation, Dave.
Qualifying...... out-lap followed by two timed laps..... then..... turn one - lost concentration - looked where i shouldn't be looking - went wide - kerb - grass - and down I went. 
Slid along the ground on my back, stopped, and waited. No apparent pain. Opened eyes and all looked ok. Got up and walked to a safe area.
Salvage vehicle loaded the bike, back to scrutineers. The only serious damage was a broken left handlebar. Someone had a spare, so we had the bike fixed before the race.

Surely glad you were not hurt. Now you have been down and walked away. Glad the bike was not seriously damaged either.

Glad to hear you and the bike are ok 
Not a good time to let your mind wander. Glad to hear you and the bike are ok.

Glad it was only a little sliding Silli.
You're bound to fall off if you're trying.
How did the races go?

avion's been working his technical wonders. Whilst at breakfast yesterday he loaded apps on to my new Smartphone (thanks mate) and he's created a Brekkie Run Group on the Whatsapp messaging application & we're already organising our weekend activities.
This means that The Completely Unofficial RAT Silli Supporters' Club will be at Zwartkops on Saturday.
It's not that we'll be putting any pressure on Silli to perform out of his skin (wouldn't dream of it
), but we'll be there in force
