If its anything like today, I bet a few stay in bed! I'm there tomorrow doing bike magazine track day; not the weather I was hoping for but hey ho.
I was there last Tuesday and was thinking about not going I am glad I did even though forecast looked crap. I did first 2 sessions on wets the track was wet bit it wasn't raining then the weather turned fine and track was great. It didn't ruin my day at all. It really is a case of ignore weather and get yourself there ready to roll then play it from there , even if you don't have wets you could get some time on track if the weather doesn't look great . Better than staying in bed going on what the forecast predicts . It's amazing how quick the track can dry out once it stops raining , that said you watch it will be shit all day on Wednesday and this post will come back and slap me round the face .
Wise words Jason. It's no good worrying about something we have no control over. That said, we do have estimated guesses that can or cannot be beneficial. Here is someone's guess for Wednesday. Weather forecast for Oulton Park Circuit | Motorsport | United Kingdom
wet is good fun (regardless of my last time there ) and as long as you take it steady till you get an idea of grip you'll enjoy it.(again,unlike my last time there lol) regarding the garage,i rang Claire this morning to get the number and she's on holiday!!!! so waiting for them to get in touch with her and then they are calling me back.
That's the forecast I use normally, it's been spot on the last three times... Now for the real test on wednesday! On the note of riding in the wet I've had these WOWs sat in my garage since i bought my trackbike and as much as I'd love it to be a dry day I am kinda lookin forward to seein what you can do in the wet. Either way its gonna be a good laugh meetin some of you guys that I haven't met before and getting the inters train going full steam ahead! CHOO CHOO!!
Met office is saying pretty much the same now rain from 4pm and the temps are perfect . So happy with this if its right.
Doing a re-roof at the moment and BBC weather said heavy showers off and on all day so didn't strip the back as planned.........We had one shower for 15 mins all day! Get down there and I guarantee you'll get at least a few dry sessions.
If its dry im gonna do my best to keep up with you lot! If ita wet i get to try my wets out. Either way happy fuckin days!! ITS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG BIATCH!!!
Nice to feel the buzz from this guys. Really, it is. Sorted in my own mind now, with gear etc Filled my registration form in, with it I have both parts of my licence and my keys all in the same sleeve. Can't wait, now, I've one more day at work to do, then some carrying around in the evening. Lads at work are taking bets that I'll be at Oulton that early on Wednesday morning I'll have to pay £5 camping fee Something tells me,,,,,they could well be right Safe journey everyone, look forwards to meeting you all once again
Pmsl, can't believe we only sorted the van today! Nice one Gaz, forgot about the license. The brakes on the 929 still Kent right, I'll bring some brake fluid- who's up for helping me bleed them?
Seriously mate... You wouldn't beleive the shite I've got to get done by the time Dave wants to leave tomorrow... Not even home yet and I have a mountain to climb at work and getting ready ha ha. Fcuk it.... What's the worst that could happen. 7.30 am meeting tomorrow could do without!!
