ALL ATTENDING TRACK DAY 10TH APRIL PLEASE READ

**FROSTY:Me** · 5th April 2005, 19:22

Ok decision made- directly after the lunch break there will be an "acceleration and braking practice" session. This is the way its going to work - we will line up in twos 50 metres down the straight. On the drop of a flag, the two riders will accelerate as fast as they can. When they get to the braking cones they will then brake as hard as they can. The "purpose" of this is to practice emergency braking. We want you to stop as fast as possible, then you will carry on very slowly around the track to form up back at the end of the line. If you should loft your front wheel, or whilst practicing your emergency braking, lift your rear wheel, I will of course assume it was completely by accident. For anybody worried about this, the track is as wide at that point as a four lane highway, so there is no chance of two bikes coliding.

This session will last 20 minutes and will let the marshals have a decent lunch.

There is a serious side to this and I hope newer riders will take advantage of this, to quite seriously find their personal and their bike's braking limits in a safe environment.

With the wise advise from R1kdxAaron and Mr. Melon, my stoppies were all straight on Sunday. I wish I had a road bike right about now...

cool, wheelies and stoppies. Who wants to drag? That's what Quay St is for, isn't it..?

on a serious note, all this going fast stuff, there's a slow side to it too.. Could have a quick comp - 2 pairs of cones 100m apart. Riders start at the same time (biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig distance apart, so only a few a time, or widen the track), and the last one to pass without putting a foot down..
could also slaaaaarrrrrrlum too..

I hope you realise it's going to be fucking raining. I'm not being stupid, the weather does not look good for Sat and Sun... It might be for the better, since I'll go a WHOLE lot slower with less chance of , um, well yeah... I really want to make the Rally

Yeah.. hmmm...

I actually kinda like 6chris's idea there.. i take it you cant have anything like that though? not even, u know, just get the ones willing to line up on the line, and someone yell go and just 10 odd laps and come in... would be cool for the guys i bet, just a touch of competition.

**FROSTY:Me** · 5th April 2005, 22:34

sorry guys I think that might be pushing the boundries just a touch.
Any hint of the R word if someone crashes could be too much for their insurance companies
