McGuinness - Simply the best! Pt. 1John McGuinness shattered the record books in Friday's 6-lap Senior TT, taking his 11th TT victory in total and upping the outright lap record to a sensational 129.451mph. The Morecambe ace broke his record from Saturday on the opening lap and then went quicker still to stamp his authority on the race. Although it was tight in the early stages John and the HM Plant Honda pushed hard and at one stage his lead was over 30 seconds but for the final two laps he rode to his signals and eventually took the chequered flag some 25 seconds ahead of runner-up Australian Cameron Donald with Kiwi Bruce Anstey in third. Like the rest of race week, the Isle of Man was bathed in glorious sunshine and the heat was at its highest so it was going to be a gruelling 6 laps for the competitiors. As expected, the opening lap was incredibly close and at Glen Helen John led by just 0.8seconds from Ian Hutchinson with Donald just a further second back.John McGuinness achieves hat trick of wins!HM Plant Honda rider John McGuinness won his eleventh TT of his career, after taking the chequered flag in the 2006 Senior TT and achieved a personal hat trick, in a record shattering race. It was also Hondas 130th TT victory. Second in this sun blessed race was Australian Cameron Donald, riding in the TT for only the second year, having been the best newcomer in 2005. Third was Kiwi Bruce Anstey. Fourth, fifth and sixth were Ian Lougher, Guy Martin and Carl Rennie. The final race in the 2006 TT Festival saw no changes in the top five positions in the Duke Road Race Rankings, as current leader Ian Lougher held on to his number one position, although his points advantage has been reduced to 45 points by Bruce Anstey, who is just 38 points ahead of John McGuinness. Cameron Donald has 514 points, 109 ahead of Ian Hutchinson who retired on the opening lap of the Senior race.Slow Foodies welcome heritage breed to Napa"I got in some commercial pork belly and I got these in at the same time and cooked them side by side, and it's much better flavor, more fat, and more distinctive flavor," Scargle said."It has more levels of flavor going on than just the normal commercial grade that you might get.""This is the genesis"Blissfully unaware that their relatives were on the menu, the little red pigs at last Friday's party won't wind up in a dish themselves: They were brought to Napa from their Kansas birthplace to become the Eve and Adam of the first Red Wattle Pig family west of Texas."This is the genesis of the Red Wattle pig in California," said Pahk, who has been buying Red Wattle meat from Martins' Heritage Food USA for about two years.The two men had never met until last Friday, but over the phone they developed "a vision, seven, eight months ago, that we would bring the Red Wattle to California, particularly Silverado," Pahk said."I gave him the ending point and I said Patrick, you make up the rest."Martins decided to take the pigs on tour, complete with a documentary film crew.CHAT WITH ROAD RACE STARSCLUB AMADEUS, NORTHALLERTON starring; COLIN EDWARDS and CASEY STONER plus John McGuinness and Michael Rutter.On Tuesday, 27th June 2006 Texas Tornado Colin Edwards will once again be appearing at the Club Amadeus in Northallerton.
