Trackday - Anyone at a loose end Sunday?

Last minute availability (inter group) at Donington £135 with
Speedfreaks, v.tempted.

 

Do you know if it's a full noise day?

Ah right, that's me out then. I've not done any track days in this
country, but have started to get the bug after doing a couple in France.

As long as it's not a road legal only day you can always buy a DB
killer at the circuit. About £25, then again MV Senna, mmmm?

 

What's a DB killer?

Well I've just booked myself on so even if you don't fancy doing the
trackday, if you're in the area pop along and say hello as I'm doing
my sad 'johnny no mates' impression and going up all on my own.

 

Was there on tuesday - superb track!

Couldn't get Redgate right (first r/hand after start) at first
and ran through the gravel trap at one point, out the other side
and back onto the track though :-D

Craner Curves is awesome. Flat out, knee down left hander there,
round the outside of everyone on a wide line as they all keep
tight and try to clip the apex. Fantastic feeling as you're
going a good 30mph faster!

Coppice is another tricky one - again it can be done a lot
quicker than you think if you get it right. The only problem
is that the corner is beyond the crest and so it's hard to
take it by sight. It can also catch you out as well!

Great fun, can't wait to race there next weekend.

 

I'll think about it.

I'm not wholy convinced that me on a ZRX is really intermediate group
stuff.

 

Borrow a gixxer for the day?

Pah! Coppice shmoppice. Mind you at least there is *loads* of
nice soft kitty litter there for one to 'excursion' into.

I'd imagine it would cripple a full system but for some at least it
saves having to remove it just to do Donington. I'll be there there
on the spangly new road bike though so no probs for me, I hope!

You can borrow my Gixer if you want

 

I'm not convinced Daz is intermediate group stuff either.

I'd go but I've just spent around that sum of money on bits for the
mtb and now don't have any spare.

 

Last minute availability so they were the only spaces available. I'm
also on the road bike so I'll be taking it "easy".

You've just told us the parents have gone AWOL so why not come along?
You could also bring that tank bag along for me ). Seriously mate
there are spaces left so if you've got the cash I'd heartily recommend
it.

It's just tooooo tempting. I don't know what the grown ups might say
when they get back. I might be gorounded for life.
