Waderacing at Castle Combe 16/17 August 08 - New Era Superclub
21 August 2008
Another new track faced the Team this weekend and with tension building in the F600 championship between Marcus Wade and Mark Cronshore things could not be much closer. The weekend began with a light dusting of rain. Wade entered the track for the first ever time for the first qualifying session, SOT (Sound of Thunder). The team placed the 675 in a good 6th position with only local riders and an ex Castle Combe instructor ahead. By the second trip to the track Wade had learnt a little about the motocross nature of the circuit, in that it was very bumpy! With an intermediate tyre choice he poled the 675 on the final lap despite the drying conditions and that all his rivals had swapped to their second ‘dry’ bikes halfway through the session!
