Puke 19/03/2004

A good day out at puke despite the very late start, oil on the hair pin that didn't get properly cleaned up until after a shiny red VFR crashed on it, much dirt spread across the track from the ditch digging that was going on beside the track and the odd tractor crossing the track while racing was going on.

But still looking forward to the next open day. There is going to be a Bike Only Open Day on the 23rd of April. I will post a news item on the homepage closer to the date.

On my way to work while I was out braking vans while approaching the round about and overtaking some grannies on the motorway, I was thining of the hairpin and the back straight of Pukie Would have just loved to be there...

I'll be looking forward to seeing the pics.

P.S. What sorta lap times did you guys get btw?

Great day for me, being my first track day. Im up for next friday as well. There wasn't any timing there , i would like to have known my times.... But i was happy everyone went easy on the final session and i only got lapped once by only a few bikers and i think me being there showed everyone how quick a small bike can corner

Pity about the VFR....

Great to meet you firefight, next time bring the R6 As well as being great to meet everyone else.

Whens the photo's going to be uploaded........?

You did good out there TS...changed my opinion about 150cc bikes (not that I would ever buy one).

One day soon we'll see you out there on something that can pass the tonne on the straights!!

I passed the ton lol, I was hitting 170 on the front straight and around the first corner, and then about 140 through the first of the esses muahahaha, but then the back straight and it was like i was there for ever , then the hairpin and i was back in business but everyone there that were better riders and on faster bikes were nice to me and let me have my line cheers guys
