Very KEEN. I need to sort some time off.

I need to keep an eye on Puddy, he might be trying out the old GSXR1100.

Hate to spoil ya day, mate, but the rules prohibit bikes on the track before 10am and after 4pm. It's all to do with something about noise.

**dpex** · 9th March 2009, 18:12

Hows about, instead of just endless track-time, you set up a race or two. Impromptu and unofficial, but off the grid, flag down. Boom! I suspect there would be several contenders for such an event....Say 10 laps on Track 2? Easy enough to put the cones in place. And at least on track 2 this contributer has some level of competitiveness with a certain hairy person and a jolly, rotund Ge'mun, both of whom tend towards taking advantage of an aging biker on and aging bike....at least, till there's a few tight corners and not so many straights.

Just a thought. In fact you might like to participate. And knowing you, you'll turn up on a borrowed R1, or better. But that's okay. Team Zimmerframe won't mind towing you through the corners in his wake. :--)))))

Tis staying a tad damp till 11 am anyway Dave, can't see much other than a few mild set up sessions till lunch with maybe an exhaust change, then a few 1234 combo's at full noise (like the 600's are doing to me), prolly roll on through to T9 a few times lol, time i checked the back brakes still work anyway. Then scrape the pegs in 11, test the stomp next lap keeping the same revs, up the revs the next etc etc .
The chicain, now i know where i want to be there lol its all about hitting it right and then exicutin it, have cut that corner once now after a missed gear, that one wasn't fun, know not to do that agin, it aint easy to rejoin there, cause ya aint doin much slowin down till ya have rejoined the track (like sliding through a stop sign) !
Awww can ya tell its been a week ?

The thing is, William...If Frosty has the nads to allow such a set-up...you know, like an impomptu race or two, I'd be in.

Question being, has he?

So there's the Q. Have you got the nads, Frosty?

Yeah, sure, there's all the rules and regs. But hey, when this country got started, it was started by men and women who didn't give a sht for the rules and regs. They just got on.

That's what we've lost. The spirit of just getting on. In favour now is safety, so all of our kids want to sit in front of fucking computers rather than get out there and hack it with reality.

Me? I'd like to hack it with the hairy-one and Mr You-Know-Who, in a semi private race. But oh gawd...THE LIABILITY! It's always the fucking liability which gets in the way of adults having fun.

I rave.

I'll go away now.

Why ?
And here was i going to give you a 30 second head start ! 10 laps ya say ? Rolling start work for you, or would you really like to see the torque of the triple ? (rolling would work, without interfeering with anyone else) But who's to say anybody there would be against an impromptue grid line up or two though aye ?

**FROSTY:Me** · 9th March 2009, 22:54

Dpex ---where in gawds name didya get the idea track time is limited 10-4?? Silly boy But yea the early mornings about scrubin tyres n stuff.
well tis the plan iff I can get my bike sussed anyhoo.
Day starts at 9.45 and will run till 4.30/4.45 depends how tired I feel.

**sinfull** · 10th March 2009, 11:19

Anybody who may be thinking of attending this trackday get in while ya can, as Frosty has agreed to let me make up some flyers and hand em out to some of the more experienced trackday goers, at the next couple of days i'm attending !
I know most want to wait till the last minute before committing, but i for one want to make sure Frosty covers his expences !

**Mental Trousers** · 10th March 2009, 17:04

Never could figure out why people wait until the last minute. There's limited places so if you get in early and can't make it someone will buy your place off you. If you wait until the last minute and nobody is selling their place you can miss out.
