Fucking windbag kept twisting everything to suit himself until it became incredibly obvious...that really...he's as full of shit as he seems. And he thinks he *owned* me. Lol.
    Shame, I would have come to watch that.

    You have never done a trackday so you don't know what you are talking about...

    The organisers on the day will let you know exactly what the overtaking rules are. They are simple and easy to follow.

    Why? Pete is fast, and Bret isn't.

    Be boring as fuck till Pete started doing some wheelies.

    Ask ay first timer, stright after briefing, to repeat the overtaking rules. Most of the time they are so full of nerves and anticipation, there's a good chance half wouldn't be able to do it.

    [QUOTE=Vinz0r;1130665664]Found this on another forum so thought I'd chuck it up here.
    This was from the Rider skills training day at Hampton on the 10th, no serious injuries apart from a few scuffs and grazes where the guys leather wore through.

    Pretty fucking bad form by the rider who took him out; apparently he tried to take off after the incident as well.



    Am just amazed that with such little run off area no one was hurt

    Keyboard racer? You're welcome to try and show Crasherfromwayback the fast way around a racetrack if ya like, buggered if I'd put my hand up for the job though.
    Then perhaps rather than waving your big dicksaround, perhaps you could put yours and your mates experience to good use by offering some constructive ideas that have a go participants could take on board, in order to minimise events as shown on the two videos?

    Dont take it that way. Yours and Drews experience is noted but many riders who want to have a go do not have that knowledge and as you know the track can be an intimidating and stressful place when starting out. You could help by offering a list of general advice and tips to people so they are better prepared for the track.

    Reread Drews response to my post. It was never an attack on people who have the experience to offer constructive criticism; rather a shot at those who dont.
