    James is still leading the Thunderbike championship and I’m organising the works bike club to go down and support him at Brands Hatch (Indy) on Sunday 31st July.

    Entry tickets are £10 in advance or £13 on the door.

    Lunch with the team in the paddock (thanks Tim) is a fiver a head. Please let me know if you are going by 22nd July, latest so that we know the numbers to cater for.

    I’ll be driving down so will have a couple of spaces in the car so let me know if you want a lift.

    Hope to see a few of you there.

    In the meantime keep upto date with the team news at:

    The team are really looking forward to Brands, the racing at the front is now hotting up and James will be out for revenge on the Indy circuit after a bit of a hard weekend at Snetterton. We look forward to having you all join us, the support is really apreciated.

    A great day!

    Domination of the first race of the day followed by an epic battle in the second.

    Huge thanks to the whole of Team Afterdark.

    Well done James – 2011 Thunderbike UK Champion

    I’ll stick some more photos up later but i think this sums up the day nicely

    Just been having a nose around on the Thunderbike forums and came across this

    There have been lots of discussions as to whether or not a 600/750 is still competitive with the rules as they are.
    I have sat back and read various comments that a good rider would be able to run at the front on a steelie.

    I don’t know if James intends to compete in the last round at Snett but I would like to offer my steelie if he is interested. It is running 100bhp and 184 kilos as tested by Bemsee.

    If you want to email me at renbuild at btinternet dot com

    Might be fun…..

    What do you think Tim?

    James is up for it but at the moment we have been offered rides elsewhere but if we go to Snett James will probably ride the steelie on saturday. What they forget is that hp isn’t everything, chassis probably is more important, its about entry , mid and exit speed

    Yes very true, I thought it sounded an interesting offer. Will have to let us know what he does

    The next round at Snett is the 3 & 4th of september. We are hoping to be there but we are in the process of trying to get James a ride in the last 2 rounds of the 848 challenge. I will keep you posted on any news. We should know in within the next week. Thanks for your support Tim.
