    Cadwell park

    Just booked into here too, so that's Cadwell on 3rd and 5th :)
    anyone on here going?

    Tuesday looks a bit wet, but Thursday looking drier :)

    3rd is with No-Limits, as all my tracks days been so far, however 5th is with Focused events and is a "Chrono day", anyone used Focused events and done a Chrono track day before?

    Well 3 sessions and still dry so far :)
    Quiet day only about 20 in each group and yet still novice riders in inter group?
    Never seen so many slow inter before?, maybe the chrono day on Thursday will sort them out better

    Totally dry track day with just a heavy shower during lunch break, and Thursday weather looking even better :)

    Well all skills are welcome, you can get free instruction while on track with if track day organisers own instructors, start off in novice and work your way up over a number of track days

    Being on track is the only real way/safe way to feel any sports/superbike as its meant to be felt ;)

    Having just had a major downpour for the last hour I think it timed it perfectly for you today. Fingers crossed it looks good for you for Thursday.

    Bummer, just read this and can't make thursday as i'm working up in Scotland again. The weather up here has been nice and sunny all week, although the locals have said to tell all the English folk that it pissed down all week so we don't all come up in mass and spoil their lovely countryside. I'd say it was too late judging by the number of bikers that were heading down the M6/M74 :D

    Well what a great two days, this morning was a bit wet but managed to use my new Dunlop D212pro in the dry later, awesome tyre, sticks like S*** to a blanket lol ;)

    felt strange dropping rear to 22psi off the warmers, and 25psi off the track (some have said lower but was a cool day) but seemed to go well :)

    here is a pic, does this look about right, No tearing anyway :)

    Yeah and only having one day of rest and taken Cadwell again really brought it home lol ;)

    I wish I could make that Silverstone one but work commitments means no :(
