    Yeah was a bit shite yesterday late on, not so bad in the morning though.

    Been looking at tire warmers and generators on ebay. Do you take any with you?

    Hey Muffking won't go wrong with these £99.. the draw strings are a pain but you soon get used to them.

    Good find.
    Wedgie loaned me his at Cadwell and showed me how to do the draw string. It didn't seem too bad bearing in mind that you only have to put them on and off 8 times. Having said that, I reckon i'd pull an elasticated cord through anyway.

    Only problem is they say for a 1KW genny and i've just won a 750w genny on ebay dohh!!

    Can you rearrange if weather is shite? Or do you risk losing your money

    You'll get a credit note if they cancel it but otherwise you'll lose your money.

    Well that's just it, you pays your money and takes you chance.
    I reckon with the 1st session being cancelled on monday and me ducking out of the last one due to bad weather it cost me £25 per 20 min session :eek: but that's obviously not the norm.

    Is it that you dont like the cords or dont you rate them heat wise?
    If its just the cords then i'd be up for taking your old ones off your hands ;)

    Had a great time, weather like was middle of summer, awesome for the time of year.
    my first time at Cadwell, liked it a lot, really loved the start/finish straight into coppice, through to charlies, down the next straight into the awesome park/Chris curve and to the Gooseneck, a real great piece of flowing fast cornering, knee dragging, speed section ;)
    Mind you the mountain is cool and Hall bends too, in fact the whole damn track is great fun, love it and will go again :)

    The only picture I have until Pete Wileman put up his is this lol, sunny morning awaiting the start, warming up the tyres
