Chris Geyton who, although not fully fit,
has returned after surgery resulting from a
long-term injury.Nonetheless, he was a
welcome sight. Dave Bristow hasanew
engine, thanks to the help of Austrian
sponsor Michael Powolotti. Dave was
tight-lipped about the power output, but
he did let on that the spread of power was
very broad and the power didn't go off
during the races, which was evident by his
three wins and fastest lap over the
weekend. However,SRP rider Jason
Metivier made him work very hard for it,
especially in the second race where the
gap across the line was just 0.14 seconds.
Metivier took two second places and
Geyton took three third places across
the weekend.
Group 4Evo is proving slow to take off,
but when it does it could beagreat class.

weekend in class, with Stuart Day having
issues, which unfortunately caused him
non finishes.
