    Looking forward to it but finances looking a little tight so may be a little while yet.
    stay at ya mates the night before and after. have a few beers and watch any vids you take of your own riding - amazign what you can learn even afterwards.

    Ive considered asking one of the superbike guys to take my (borrowed) GoPro on their bike for a race, then do a few laps myself, and compare the vids later to see some of the many things I could do better

    Yes, if you're going to a trackday in another town (well, more than 100km or so away), get accommodation nearby the night before and the night following.

    Makes it all a whole lot more pleasant. You don't want to be getting up super early and having bleary eyes by lunchtime on the day, and post trackday one just generally wants to get on the piss and talk shit and have a rest, not mission home.

    Ah, what a good idea! I hadn't thought of that

    What about the ART day Rob? I'll be out there as well but I don't think I'd be able to get my bike out there on Friday, really need to get out there again and April 22nd seems so far away!
    Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.
