I'm in the UK for business for a couple of weeks, and today my boss and I went to the Brands Hatch round of the British Superbike Championship. All the races were fun, but the highlight for me was the Super Duke Challenge. Nothing like hearing 22 SD's equipped w/ Akra exhausts - it was easily the best sounding race all day!

It's now going to be even tougher waiting to get home so I can install my Graves Ti exhaust!

I have lots of pics, but they're not going to be great since I took them w/ my iPhone. Should have them posted by next weekend at latest...I'll be flying M, T, & W, then recovering from jet lag/catching up @ home the rest of the week.

Thats the reason we bought a SD !!

We were on holiday down south in July/August and went to the Mallory Park BSB where the SD Challenge was also on (unbeknown to us) when they came out on the track I was blown away !

Me and the missus just looked at each other and said 'we gotta get one of them' !!!

And we did !!!

I was there with my 2 boys!
We were standing up near druids hairpin and the noise was awsome.
4 SDs doing burn-outs at the end of the race!
Fantastic racing and i have sort of made my mind up to go racing next year with a view to doing the battle challenge in 2009.
Reason being i was only lapping 3 seconds a lap slower than the leaders when i did my track day. They were going round in 51sec and i was doing 54's

sounds like you could be the man, cos when you get comfy you will pass there times ? 3 seconds can be alot on a short track. I want to see some SD racing where they are beating the 1000's on a short tight track.
