Don't let that stop you, I have three spare pairs, all leather and on the smaller side (I have "dainty" hands!!.....) just see me on the day and take yer pick.

P.S. Yes Frosty, that means I am coming..will send some money shortly...

Thanks for that! My current gloves are getting a bit worn so I might have a look around for a new pair in the meantime as well.

Hmmmm..... I may have to check them out one day......... I have trouble doing my helmet up with my gloves (it's a click on type)

Hey frosty, I've read the first post over and over again but can't tell... so there is going to be 100 places total right??? (juding from another post when you said people aren't reading and there is 20 filled so 80 to go...)

Now... this might be stupid but is any type of full face helmet ok? or does it have to be DD fastner (I have one of those clip on types)

4 SEPERATE groups. Groups will be Slow, Med/slow Med/fast and Fast. Numbers will be limited to ensure a safe environment. I’m looking to MAXIMUM NUMBER PER CLASS OF 25

Quasi gloves are easy to do things with, like putting helmet on (safety-belt type

)

What sort of group would i fall into on the ZXR? SInce Taupo is quiet tight and twisty i would assume med/fast? With a tiny bit of luck i should have the 636 by then...but may only race a 250cc anyway.

Well I'm keen to give this trackday a good crack.
Not sure which speed group I'd be suited to initially so maybe med/slow to start and take it from there.
Cheers Frosty for comfirmation re my boots too mate

Should be fine, my helmet is clip fastened, nothing wrong with it.

Dunno about that mate...Maybe the medium group then
"Quickish" on the road will no doubt be different to some of you loons on a track.
Also I don't want to hold anyone up as it would be my first time on a track...no knowledge of protocols etc...
