Having missed the rounds at Pembrey and Donnington we managed to catched up with the Hornet cup on the second day of a two day meeting at Cadwell Park. We only managed to get the results for the first race of the first day as we had to leave early on Sunday just after the race and the results werenÕt posted. The results will be posted when they are available on the New Era web page. Here are the results for Race 1 Saturday:
This picture shows Darren Jones clearing the top of CadwellÕs infamous mountain in hot pursuit of Johhny Glendinning. To put this into perspective, the fastest open 600Õs were lapping in 1:34Õs, very impressive. From what we understand of the commentry that man Glendinning won the second race of the day, but this is to be confirmed. Sundays Race 1 was just after lunch, it was warm and humid but pretty overcast. Luckily the day stayed dry until after the last race, which was Race 2 for the Hornets. This picture shows a stream of Hornets chased by CB500Õs just after the start climbing up to Charlies. Both races saw fierce scrapÕs for the lead with up to 4 bikes involved. There were some fallers at the bottom of the mountain, Tim Booth coming off with ex 250 GP racer Alan Carter (on a CB500). One luckless Hornet managed to stay on his bike across the grass until he rolled off at a virtual standstill, earning a nice round of applause from the crowd to which he responded with a gentlemenly bow. In both races Johhny Glendenning took the win. Finally a picture of that man showboating, notice both wheels off the ground!
