Hi Chris,

Sorry I missed you, when I phoned the Causeway hotel on Thursday evening they said they had no one called Chis Canning staying with them.

When I went into the Bar with my wife around 8.30ish for a drink there were a few english accents about but  no mexican's.

Maybe you'll be back for the Ulster GP in August.

Hi Dave





Bugger!!!! we were in the bar haveing a bite to eat,and they should of had our name because we even had to book that,and tell them when we got there,as they were busy.



We actually stayed at the B+B just up from the old school,200 yds away(as we always do) only said Mexican on looks!!! as i get so much stick!!,but we'll be back next year.

Being in Ireland at the time, it was no contest as my 2 brother in laws didn't have to twist my arm to attend. 175,000 spectators along the 9 mile course. Unbelievable, 201.1 MPH on the road. Nothing in Canada is even remotely close. Too much government. Anyhow, great race.
