Manfield track day, Feb 25th

[GSVR]

Might pop along and doodle around the track.... see what i can organise...

Yeah its not to far off and these days are great fun. Lets try and keep this thread active so people that don't spend alot of time on here will see it and hopefully come along.

The weathers great here and doesn't look like letting up for some time.

Lots of stuff to see even if you don't ride like the bike meeting on the back circuit with F5Dave Ivan and many other KBers

Hi all,

So I'm heading up to Manfield for the track day on Sunday, I haven't done a track day before so can someone give me a run down of things I need to be thinking about to prepare.

I figured I'd take some insulation tape up to do the head lights, but other than that...what do I need to do?

I'm also keen to have a chat to someone with a bit of experence on the track to get a heads up on things like getting out of the way of faster riders, flag colours, etc.

Dont worry about getting out of the way of faster riders... just hold your line and they will pass you in a safe and appropriate manner...

I think they only have two flags... Chequered for finish, yellow for caution...

Hi all,

Of course you know this trackday is on Saturday ?

[Slingshot]

Holy crap...that's bloody lucky.

I'd planned my whole weekend around being at the track on Sunday....lucky I decided to post here tonight, otherwise I would have been wondering why nobody else had showed on Sunday.

Important tip: circulate in the same direction as the others
Apart from that, like TS said, you don't have to worry about the bikes behind you. You are not to interfere with the line of a bike IN FRONT of you i.e. anything in front of you has the right of way

I might get there myself but have to be back in Welly early so not sure if I will bother.
