Thanks Phil for the encouragement - and DMNTD for the biological warfare down the main straight!
An especially HUGE thank you to Quasi for letting me try out a back protector and leathers!!

Wow what an awesome day...

Was my first track day and certainly wont be my last...

x2 there... Had an absolute blast.

you cunts have given me the motivation to book in for the next day. first track day and i'm thinking about the medium group - dont want to be caught up with the nutters, but want to be able to fang it when necessary. just how fast is medium????

I began in the novice group and moved up to medium after a couple of sessions, if you've done a track day before then start in medium; you can move up & down the groups as you see fit.

By the end of the day I was consistently sitting behind a big black betty - but not wanting to pass cos it would've been rude
But god-damn, she looked like a lot of work between turns 2 & 3!

I had an oarsome day and it was nice to meet some of you.

Ooooh, them's fightin' words, sunshine!



We'll have to have a proper showdown on the next one. My 100hp and 120 newton metres hauling around 100 extra kg and bits of metal that drag everywhere in the corners, versus your 60-ish hp bike that weighs nothing with kickarse brakes and good ground clearance.

I reckon I'll put up a good fight.

Can we do a racing start then too?

Agreed, what the NC gains over Betty in the twisty bits is made up for by the talent disadvantage aboard.


Ah, who am I kidding... I'll give you teh learn!

Stopping in the middle of the front straight could be hazardous to our health, but a carefully-timed rolling start would be quite achievable, I'm sure.

Bring it, beyotch!

Anyone know when pics are gonna be up?

You sir! I challenge you to a duel! Handbags at 20 paces!
