I used to run the bar at Oulton Park, Touring cars was a busy weekend, Superbikes was just mayhem.  Regular fights between riders to break up, the bar was always 7 or 8 deep or we went through so much beer the hard part was keeping beer cold before it was sold.  Went through about 80-100 barrels and a good 20 boxes of budweiser...oh and break all in tips too  ;D ;D

Jesus Christ, dont ever run out of beer at a bike event, they wont care if the races dont happen at all in comparison, just dont run out of beer... :o

bit close for comfort then, seen things get well out of hand very quickly when the taps run dry, give them beer they'll be fine. ;D

Missed the first race- still in bed asleep, due to 11 nightshifts from the last 13 nights. Second race was carnage as were the supports ::) might try to get to a round this year, havent been for a while.
Stuart Easton was riding with a pretty nasty injury, dont look if your sqeamish. ;)

I had one at the front of my leg that probably didnt look as bad as that, although it was caused by the bone coming out rather than something sharp going in. Took out tendons/ nerves and break knows what else. nearly 35 years ago and hasnt been much use since. No luck of the Irish here. ::) :D ;D
