    Well did you gradually get better throughout the day? I felt like the track temp, and just more and more lap's (and choosing a better tyre pressure) improved it a lot and made me feel a lot more comfortable into the corner. Making sure to loosen up and relax a bit along the straight for a while helped a lot as well. Offcourse I'm even less experienced on a track then you but those are just things that helped me personally

    hmmm, could be to much thinking and not enough 'riding'.

    Another thing about race tracks, is they disguise speed by not having much scenery close to the track...almost seems like a bike loses 30% of it's power when going to some tracks.

    Relax, have fun and the rest will come.
    (I'd even go as far as saying, have no expectations, and set no goals till you at least feel comfortable)

    Did feel a little like that. Nice to meet you the other night too

    I was also following Flame and to be honest I did have a lot to think about behind her and I didn't feel in my flow

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
