It looks like our guys have neglected to publicise this event but it's coming up in just a few weeks so it may make up for the fact Frosty's track day has been cancelled.

This club puts on the best trackday by far. It was a great day in January, not sure if I'm available for this one as it conflicts with the first buckets meeting of the year.

so is that 4 sessions as per normal? Is the med session going to be split in 2? CD trackdays are starting to get a bit crowded which is no surprise considering the price.

[Beemer]

Whether the medium sessions get split into two depends on who turns up on the day. Possibly fast will go in with race to allow for two medium sessions.

Usually this allows for at least four sessions per riding class.

[Beemer]

Don't forget, this track day is coming up this weekend, 2 March, at Manfeild! First in, first served.

[Beemer]

Just to clarify, as I've had several PMs about it, we do NOT take prebookings, basically it's up to you to get there in time. We have rarely turned people away (usually only for failing scrutineering, etc) so it's not really a problem.

[MD]

Forecast is not too hot for this weekend. I also heard that the Mothers something or other track day this Sat. 1st March is a bit of fun..
I'll see if the sun comes out to play before I ride up either day.

[GSVR]

To anyone thats thinking of coming to this trackday the weather heres looking good for tomorrow.

Yes, and we don't appear to be getting the rain forecast for today either. The forecast for tomorrow is for clearing showers, but the day will go ahead regardless of the weather. Hope you all have fun!

Cheers for that. Can you guys keep us updated as we have to leave rather early in the morning and it would be a bugger if we got down there to rain.

[Clivoris]

Bit of rain would do me good. Getting a bit of wet riding experience is on my 10 year plan for F3 domination

Domination aye Clive,you are not at home now young fella!!HaHaha

[MD]

Well that was fun as always. Thanks again CDMTC. A bargain at $40.

There was a low turnout from Wgtn riders this time? Which was handy because it meant only one medium group and more track time.

The fast group had just the right number. Plenty of bikes to dice with. Tony's tricolour 1098 got my vote as best looking bike, closely followed by those two red 675 Daytonas. That's my unbiased opinion anyway.

Lunchtime playtime had Frenchy from New Plymouth doing stunts and just as I told some stranger beside me "he must be a professional! that man knows what he's doing". Then BAM ! (like the TV add) he fell off the back doing a deck chair or was that a couch..Ok, it was a high-chair.
Long way to fall to the ground.

Didn't put me off giving it a go though.(normal wheelies, not weird furniture type stuff)

[GSVR]

Yeah the luchtime stunting was a fairly quiet affair.

Frenchy did about four or five highchai rs before the ill fated one but not too much damage was sustained.

Great wheelies by MD very steady when the front wheel decided to play ball and lift.

Great day excellent weather.

Thank you.
Yes the Daytona has a stubborn streak in it and seems to decide sometimes that it doesn't want to play wheelie. My 636 was a better wheelie tool and never refused to launch.
