I've got some pals doing this asking me to join - mega tempted as I love it there - just confidence taken a knock understandably from Oulton idiot this week. Its an epic track Colin, you will love it, just don't do what I did and get your can down (and nothing else BTW)
I've been before Al doing the Ron Haslam days. Confidence taken a knock? Best get out there then mate and man up a bit. This time take the fridge with you
I'm hoping to have my bike sorted before this one Colin. I had set my sights on the 28th but an extra push and a couple of garage nights should see the SRAD splutter back to life. A couple of questions.... What group are you going in? Are you intending to camp over night or hit the floor running o the day. I'm holding off booking until I get my parts 'ordered and dispatched' but it would be great to wobble round with you for a few sessions if possible
We will be heading down the day before and staying at a B&B. Went for novice as it's out first time out on the bike and first actual TD. Let me know if your needing a hand the day before and we can pop in
I'm there on the 9th in the novice class, my first " proper" track day on a bike i've only ridden in a straight line up and down an aerodrome, reckon I'll be slow as, already getting nervous about it, I've gotta keep an eye out for a mad Scotsman on a gixer 1000 then Col
I'm there. If you guys on your first trackday want to be shown the line around Donny pop down to the instructors garage and say hello and I'll happily take you out for a session. You can't miss me with all my hair and have Cousin It on my No Limits leathers
Yea first time out on the new bike for us too mate. It's only a 750, but it'll go well enough I'm sure.
know loads attending this - am going for the social , will nip down on bike I think if weather looking good on day The Fridge may even be there in novice and Inters too
Just a little update as to where I'm standing on this right now. Bikes not getting touched until next week, but as a back up, I've been offered the use of Repsol Wills gixer should I struggle. Personally I think I'll be in the pink, but time will tell? But I've just booked two twin rooms at the East Midlands premier Inn for the 8th April. One for Colin & Craig And one for myself and.... steve aka the firebloke. Planing on driving down on the Wednesday afternoon and catching up over a few beers and a munch with the the guys before heading to the track '5 minutes away' Thursday morning for what is turning into a promising fulfilled day with the bikes and good company. Think you may need to start a list Col I'm ringing No Limits first thing and will advice when I get my place. Intermediates by the way if you're wondering. Wasn't expecting that one was you
Ok guys I've updated the first post to show who's booked and in what group. If any of the maybe's want to be added as and when the decide then just post up and I'll edit the post to suit.
There are 6 instructors there that day including me so plenty to go around Simon aka Big Issue will be staying at the hotel with me and he's a very good instructor. Also rides an 08 Blade so that's an extra bonus.
