oulton park 13th march no limits

Not this time Al, it could happen to anyone really.

 

I think you're making this day up.

"Why?" I hear you ask…..

Simples - no photos from Barney yet

 

did he leave the warmer plugged in,or did it burn on the tyre?

 

( camera had a service but came back with loads of dust in it so back its gone )
Took a few point and shoot stuff but its rubbish ,
Scooby I'm sure it was still on the tyre .

 

Oh it happened alright Andy, I've got the aches and pains to prove it!

wasn't a biketec warmer was it by any chance?

 

I hope it wasn't a Holroyd Race-tech (since I have an unused set)

 

dont worry,holroyds are excellent warmers,and if you do ever have an issue have some of the best after care around,even replaces an old warmer of mine that was over 2 yrs old FOC,with no receipt or proof of purchase.

 

Just thinking the same thing !

 

It was and they are rubbish, but I only paid £40 , so not a total disaster

 

Love it Andy, you pay £40 for something that nearly sent your prob. un-insured track bike up in smoke and say 'not a total disaster'

Joking aside sounds a lucky escape

 

your lucky,seen a bike totally fucked through a biketec warmer setting on fire (and it was a blade!!!!),do a gogle search,theres loads of people that have had issues.even ABV's mates burnt his tyre at almeria,luckily only wrecked the tyre and didn't set on fire.(i say lucky as my bike was next to it!!!!)

about 3/4 way down the 1st page

 

It sounds worse than it was,but lesson learned I suppose and this year is a learning curve about trackdays for me.

 

Looked more like a "burning curve" if you ask me!
