Reading the posts on the excellent thread on how many members had raced on the Mountain Course, I wondered if you guys would like to share with us which buttock clenching bend/section gave you the most satisfaction to get 101% right.

Although I did not race bikes on the tarmac I did race Karts through the 60's and early 70's taking in most of the UK short circuits and the Billown course (1967 to 1970) so can I start you off with my favourites?

1. Iron gates. (it looks even more scary when you are just a few inches from the tarmac, probably similar on a sidecar outfit) To get through without lifting off, in top, on a 250 Bultaco powered kart, still makes me smile just thinking about it.

2. Ballawhetstone. Thanks to whoever put the field gate on the exit, gives you a few more inches of road.

3. St Marys (Oulton Park - on slicks just after it started to rain, four wheel drift all three apexes and ending up not quite on the grass for 6 laps, phew)

4. Paddock Hill (Brands) nuff said.

Over to you
