Only money will definately secure your spot but i'm sure they'll pencil you in (and give you a timeframe for payment).

Is a Ride Day anything like a Track or Test day, or simply a ride around to look at this new track ? Gaz.

Been there twice.

Michelin Power Ones best wear and traction.

Other tyres cutting up but the Power Ones minimal wear and good traction.

Well, that was fun. :scooter: Today was my first track day and I'm still buzzing out at how insanely quick some of those bikes are!

That was loads of fun.
Even managed to get my left knee down around turn 3.
Also - touched down the R/H cylinder head.

Checking the forecast for the 11th

Was a great day and an excellent way to gently introduce the ninja to the track. Look forward to the next events!

Does anyone know where we can find/purchase the photos taken today? :) Thanks!

I was also wondering about any photos taken on the 5th...

I might have a few shots taken by a friend on the 5th - let me know what bike and I'll check through for you.
They are likely only to be of the groups I was in - Yellow in the morning and Green in the afternoon.

Most definitely was a cracker for me — had a blast! Hampton Downs, as has been said before by many, more experienced folk than I, is highly recommended. :ride:

The photographer on the 11th was Andrew from Championship Digital. The photos should be on his site in a couple of days. www.championshipdigital.com

There was no official photographer on the 5th. Sorry.

I think I've found all the ones that have other bikes in them.

If you'd like a high res copy let me know.
