    Eh up Lancashire lad! I'll be there on the 25th, coming from Southport so should only take an hour or so. Not done a trackday for about 3 or 4 years now and wanted to get in the inters but they only had novice and advanced left so gone for advanced. I've got some new Corsa Rossos coming as I couldn't get hold of any Racetecs or Super Corsas, dealer said there was a shortage of them due to race season getting underway.
    Hope you're right about the weather cos I've just seen next weeks and it's turning wet and windy! I take it you'll be running the bike pictured in your post, if not I'll just look for the dude sat in a deckchair with shades on :cool:

    no thats my 07 bike,on an 09 now.

    i always try to get around garage 20-22 so if your there early enough jump in.also for tyres,if you need any good scrubs let me know,my m8 has a load coming from the brands bsb meeting.and can also get new rubber for a decent price (about £220-240 i think) for a set of tecs/corsa's.

    hi,checked my gearing,and i found that 15/42-44 worked fine in most cases.

    tbh i'd be a bit dubious about dropping 2 off the front,did it once a few years ago,with +2 on the rear and it was very hard to pin the the throttle and keep the front down,especially at somewhere like oulton.

    deers leap
    cley hill
    hill top
    druids

    even coming out turn 1 if your on it enough.

    all make a light front end "interesting".

    deffo -1 on the front,then for me no more than 2 on the rear.i've got a 14 that your more than welcome to borrow to see how it feels if you like.

    I'm still going on 9th but i'm gonna have to leave a bit earlier, maybe miss the last session, to drive to Assen to spanner for my mate Ryan at the second round of the Ducati 848 cup. I guess thats worth missing a session for!

    Well, total washout at Oulton today! Don't do tracks in the wet so that's £140 up the scutter. Could've have been a lot more expensive though :rolleyes:

    Hiya mate, not the best day either! I know about Rouseys excitement, then third session, the red flag was my mate who crashed over clay hill and broke his wrist and back. I only got out for the first 3 sessions, but had some good times before i stopped. After sorting everything with him i went at 3pm to Assen. Busy day really!

    Bad day for few I think Bongo, the lad I get scrubs off broke his back, leg and dislocated his shoulder.
