    Awesome afternoon. My arms are still weak, and my Primera feels incredibly vague in the corners.

    Will be keen for another go some time, but probably shouldn't spend all my bike savings ...

    Actually, thinking about it ... here I am, knackered after 20 min of exercise for $25. How much does a gym cost again? Perhaps I should take this up instead

    track looks the same as when i last went - your all MILES away from that pole, very dissappointing. i sure hope someone was atleast doing drifts on the first corner after the straight (curve)

    Not much point going close to that pole; you're still coming out wide from the back hairpin and setting up for the tighter sweeper later. Only required for passing - and that usually worked better on the outside.

    wouldnt it be better to hold the middle after the hairpin take the first corner wide then cut that one? thats what i do anyway

    we should ask lbtw - the company i work for held a evening there for our clients - the lucky sod was invited, some famous cage racer was there too - peter brock i think?

    Thats the line I took unless I was passing. To be honest, the place is crap. Daytona next time methinks.

    Yep was good fun, thanks for joining us guys. Arranged yesterday during shit weather then it fined up good for today, oh well, still....... Still squeezed in a ride up the hill tonight too.
    Will definitely have to organise for another session, at Daytona next time, we were originally going to go there, but someone recommended these guys instead.
    Thanks for taking the photos Elle and for being our pit bitch/cheer team!
    BTW, I didn't harass any children....

    wasnt me but i would've said the same thing - best to go at night though cos its empty enough that the guys runing it jump on with you (and tell you no bumping then they took first shot putting my oldest bro into the tyres rofl)

    I'll organise my night time one for Daytona then not sure when it will be - a feww weeks mabye. probably be like friday after work or something
