How is the head now Dave? Ready to take the pledge!:wave:

Cornwall is full, Mrs Bear :oops: :$ has exiled me to a cliff top to play with my mates and be nice :cautious::whistle:.

I am allowed back Tuesday to catch up.
 
The Pod is almost my second home. Been going for best part of 35 years now. Raced a bike myself for a years.
The first meeting of the year is more about setting up your combination than outright performance.
The two HUGE events of the year are the Main Event in May and the finals meet in September.
NOTHING tests a machine harder than top level drag racing.
Top fuel cars are circa 10,000HP these days....
Superstreet bikes run a treaded tyre and make circa 550/650 HP.....

Love it.

Last year was the first time I'd been back to The Pod in quite a few years. Was a bit disappointed that you couldn't stand in the shed behind the start anymore.
I've run my bike down the strip at a RWYB, but it was just a road bike (350 ypvs) so could only just hit the ton at the 1/4.
A mate used to run a mk1 escort in the Rover V8 challenge (I think that's what it was called), street legal, with a breakout of 11 seconds, he could do sub 11 at 135.
 
For a while now I have really felt it a struggle to pick up the camera hence why my Hold shot was rushed. I have really got worried that I was and have been losing my Mojo, which has NEVER happened to me in all the years I have had a camera. So to try and give some help to my self, I have decided to start shooting in B&W as I have not tried that in camera before.

I've had that missing mojo problem a few times, Dave, and I think it happens to most of us from time to time. Sometimes I've just not picked up the camera for a while and sometimes I've tried a new style or genre, but eventually something gets you going again. B&W is a good idea as it will make you think in a different way when you go out with your camera. Good luck :)

I'm not sure whether I've really and truly found my mojo this year but I can say, finally, that I'm completely up to date now and aiming to get around everyone's threads before the next theme :banana:

The thing that has shocked me is, I never thought it would happen to me as I love my wildlife shots, that is why I am going to give B&W a go for a bit.
