    Best thing would be as you said Kit - come and see.
    During the 300km race I was red-lining the R6 in 6th with 16:48 gearing which is at least 280kph, but don't worry none of us are out to get hurt on the test days as there are no ambulances or bales out to catch you.

    Depending on who else turns up, you can usually get in more track time than your body can handle. The format is that they carve up each hour depending on types of vehicles out there. If just saloon cars & bikes you get 30 mins each every hour from 10:30 to 4:30pm. But if there are open wheelers, trucks and drifters, then you will only get 12 min sessions.

    Main thing is to watch out for crap all over the corners after the drifters have been out...can be quite exciting

    that was fukin bollox when the drifters had been out, then the bikes went.. I remember when that happened, all the bikes did pretty much one lap, and came back in.. let the cagers clear the track off.. I think now Gary lets the drifters out after the bikes, which is a lot nicer.. The drifters can be quite cool to watch tho.. Never been there when trucks have been practicing, but saying that, I was there when a Dodge Viper was on the track. That's nearly a truck.. I also managed to red line the 636 in 6th on that back straight. Indicated 285kph stock

    I feel sorry for ya mate - you play hard on KB everyday sneaking a bit of work in on your coffee breaks and now when you want the one day off they demons show up.

    Bloody management huh?? Some of them are like parents - know when something is up. But hey that bonus could buy that paintjob or that custom exhaust system so it's all good.

    that's the thing JSG.. you just use the track. There's no one there. But the services aren't too far away. I was there when someone had quite a bang. Ambo was there within 10 mins which isn't too bad..
    No bails etc either. And it won't change.. Just don't go hard out..
    but this isn't the first time these days have been done. Everyone there knows the score, so don't stress about it

    fukin tell me about it. My boss telling me to take time off, then the day I pick to have some fun and actually use the day off for good instead of causing trouble on the streets, and she's coming up!!

    What fuks me off more, is I managed to get tyres sorted too!!!!!
    there'll be more..

    Nope.

    I'll be just slipping from an alcohol induced coma at that stage. Straight to the track for me.
