    Was a positively Balmy 6 degrees and Sunny on Winsford Industrial Estate today where we were working so assume Oulton was quite good also being only 4 miles up the road or so

    Thats oulton about half 8 yesterday, i got up at 6 peeped out through curtains of the swan to see winter wonderland ! the lake by the circuit was completely frozen over, the track was as white as the grass so not looking good ! but by 10ish and after two groups of cars had been round, the sun was out and things looking promising, it just got better and better and better, we still had at least 1 red flag every session, people forgetting its still winter !! but my last session out was worth all the money traveling and hassle, did wonders for my confidence and i can't wait for the next, I'm booked up for anglesey the first of march but i dropped my bike off to jhs this morn for the bazzaz so don't think it be ready for the 18th, i did ask very nicely tho !

    I bet there was more grip on the rally track in your pic than the track itself :)

    glad you had a good day,but still far too early in the yr for a UK trackday for me.

    Fill the tank and take 20l - that will be plenty

    some prefer to run with a lower level of fuel for weight saving , but don't go too low as running out of juice at Oulton is not just embarrassing , its numpty time...
