    will see what i can do,but my day will be mostly made up of riding like a girl (no offence to women ;) ) and trying different set up's on the bike to find one that suits me,deffo no lap records being set.

    It would be nice to get a 1.45, but I would be happy with a 1.50. A lad I race with is doing a 1.42 on his R6, so there is a fair way to go yet. As long as I can get within the 110% of the winners time, I will be happy, as I will get my signature for my national licence then.

    you'll really struggle to get a 45 on a trackday unless your uber quick and lucky,theresn ot many club boys even get to that on a race day.

    No I am going to use this as a get happier with the bike day. My mate is silly quick, won the 600 in the Thundersport round at Anglesey recently. As I say, I would be happy with a 1.50 as it will get me to 110% of the winners times easily. Best I managed last year was 1.52, so 2 seconds off should be possible.

    I have just spoke to no limits the timing was good as they were asking for payment for the Jerez trip at the same time I asked to reserve a garage for next Wednesday ,they put the request in now to Oulton park so don't know the success rate on this but done all I can .:D

    I reckon it's going to piss down all day on Wednesday :D. My normal forecasts are crap so trying something different .;) so let's hope this one is .

    Fingers crossed on the garage front. As for the weather, I sincerely hope your forecasts are wrong.

    decided i'm not going to book as i'm not taking the bike out if it's pissing down,no point trying to set it up in the rain is there.

    will just go down on the day if the weather looks ok and get a place then.
